So now mob justice against senior citizens is acceptable...?  Sorry but while the caption on the tweet may be misleading and the actual events leading to the beating are in question (for some reason your "snopes" accepts one side of this he-said-she-said without question... hmmm), the result is quite clear.  There are some areas of Europe where vigilante mob justice is the norm and the local police stay away.

Tell me... does it seem believable that this man was asked to put away his drink and then his son attacked the wait staff?  I mean.. really?  And even if that is accurate, it doesn't excuse mob justice being handed down.

Alcohol...? Usually pairs lousily with poor judgement. As the old adage goes: play stupid games, win stupid prizes.

And that ProActive Patriots Twitter account... Oh, boy. Lots of fear mongering and tinfoil on that feed.

Last time I was in Vegas, one of my buddies posted a tweet, something about how the hookers we met wanted too much money because he loved his wife.  One of the other guys we were with caught it and suggested he delete it before the wife saw it.  He realised he should think twice before posting while we were there and to let the others know if we posted stupid.  Have to know when your judgement is impaired.  Doubly important for a public person like this.  Very unfortunate.

    This is particularly bad news for us Star Trek fans

    So much for the merger of the movie and television Trek empire.

     

    Remember when I used to get temp banned for posting nonsense like Atomic and Unknown Poster are doing above....  

    N-e-ways I will post something that is positive below:

    Let me know if that video link works or not... it's from Winnipeg!

    Not a random nest item.  There is a thread for it.

    Absolute insanity!

    Tl;dr:  Islamic group threatens to destroy beaches in Northern Ontario to protest women wearing bikinis.

    The crazy people in any religion or issue do a disservice to the chill folks.  Like come on, remember where you are...

    http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/manitoba/burton-cummings-guess-who-crash-los-angeles-winnipeg-jets-1.4665016

    I remember many people not liking Burton's rendition of the national anthems back when he'd do them for the Jets 1.0.  I always liked them though.

    Asked for home care, was offered death instead.  (A bit more to it but essentially that’s his story)
