the comment (i know, i know) trying to tie this to the nsa scandal caught me off guard, but if americans want to kill each other over bad halloween costumes then it is totally unsurprising that the nsa wants to spy on everyone

Police State Horror: Toddler burns alive while cops repeatedly tase father who was trying to rescue him fire

A man in Missouri, La was trying to reach his three year old step-son as his house burned. He exited the house from the back door and then kicked in the front door. He thought he could reach the boy from the other side of the house. However, Louisiana, Missouri police brutally tased him three times to prevent him from re-entering the house. He was then handcuffed and stuffed in a police cruiser.

When firefighters entered the house, the boy was found dead within fifteen feet of the front door.

of course if they hadn't done that, the headline would read: POLICE DO NOTHING AS UNTRAINED IDIOT RUNS INTO A BURNING BUILDING, LEADING TO THE DEATH OF NOT ONLY A CHILD BUT HIS OWN ASS


like that shit is awful, but that looks like a huge damned if you do / don't situation

[Aragon of Odin]

I don't see how wanting to save your child makes you an idiot

[Tyrath]

Yeah, because the best way to handle a father trying to save his burning 3 year old is to tase him 3 times and handcuff him.

Seeing as the kid was found within 15 feet of the door, if the father sustained some burns but managed to save him anyway, it would've been worth it.

[Tellahh]

of course if they hadn't done that, the headline would read: POLICE DO NOTHING AS UNTRAINED IDIOT RUNS INTO A BURNING BUILDING, LEADING TO THE DEATH OF NOT ONLY A CHILD BUT HIS OWN ASS

seriously?.....

The guilt he feels about this is gonna drive him to suicide or something of that lot. there's no Darwinism about this, he wanted to save his child....

[isladar]

Shit, I'm not supporting it, I'm just saying how it would be interpreted had the police not taken that kind of action. Firefighters don't want people who aren't trained going into burning buildings because they'll die. If that were my kid I'd have to be tazed too, but the police were trying to keep another person from dying.

[Tyrath]

I don't really think the story could be spun to be made out to be the police's fault if the father did die trying to save the kid. But maybe I'm naive in thinking that everyone would understand when it comes to a 3 year old that is burning.

Bieber filmed spraying graffiti in Brazil, gets lightest punishment that can be given

Police in Brazil have charged Justin Bieber with illegally spraying graffiti in Rio de Janeiro.

The Canadian singer could be fined after pictures appeared in local media to show him painting a wall.

Defacing buildings is a crime in Brazil punishable by up to one year in jail or a fine.

However officials described the case involving Justin Bieber as "a minor offence". There was no immediate comment from his management team.

In a statement, Brazil's civil police force said Justin Bieber had been charged with "defacing a building or urban monument by graffiti or other means".

Brazilian media reported and published photos appearing to show the 19-year-old singer spraying graffiti on the wall of the abandoned Hotel Nacional.

The pictures showed him wearing a red cap and army pants - with a security guard on one side, a police car parked on the other.

It emerged that Bieber had authorisation from the City Hall to paint at a sports facility nearby, but members of his entourage claim he chose a different location to avoid his fans.

Police argued the consent did not extend to any other places.

This closes a trip in which the teenage idol has been accused of swearing at photographers, was seen leaving a seedy night club and was kicked out of Rio's most prestigious hotel, the BBC's Julia Caneiro in Rio says.

According to the Globo TV network, Bieber flew out of Brazil on Wednesday afternoon on a private jet and went to Paraguay, where he was scheduled to perform.

It is not the first time Justin Bieber has been involved in controversy this year. In March, he said sorry to fans for a late start at a concert in London.

In April, he caused outrage with his message in a guestbook at the Anne Frank Museum in Amsterdam, saying he hoped the Holocaust victim would have been a fan - "a belieber".

Frank's diary, written during the two years the teenager and her family hid from the Nazis in occupied Amsterdam, made her a symbol of the suffering of Jews during World War II.

And in July, Bieber was been criticised for touching the biggest trophy in North American ice hockey, the Stanley Cup.

Woman's Boston Marathon Bombing Costume: What It Says About Everyone

Moral of the story: Don't put shit on the internet you don't want the internet to get and ruin your life. Dumb ass even posted a picture of her driver's license online which further revealed her identity and her parents who are subjects of death threats and whatnot.

http://shine.yahoo.com/healthy-livin...205502002.html

I'll see your Marathon Bomber and raise you a pair of Towers.

This costume equals instant costume contest winner!

wo students who dressed as the Twin Towers in a fancy dress competition have been condemned by university and students' union bosses.

University of Chester students Amber Langford and Annie Collinge, both 19, won the Halloween competition at a nightclub in Chester.

Their outfits depicted flames and explosions during the 11 September 2001 attack on the World Trade Center.

They apologised for causing offence, which they said "was not intended".

The University of Chester and Chester Students' Union said they "utterly condemn the appalling photos which have been shared on social media".

A spokeswoman said: "Both organisations have begun an urgent investigation into the circumstances around which these images have been taken with a view to taking the necessary action."

The university spokeswoman was unable to say what action could be taken.

The students said: "We never meant to be offensive, but we apologise if any offence was caused.

"The idea was to depict a serious, modern-day horror that happened in our lifetime and was not intended as a joke."

Ms Langford, who is reported to be from Anglesey, and Ms Collinge won £150 in shopping vouchers for their costume. The photograph featured on the Chester Parties Facebook page but was removed following criticism.

George Borsberry, who was at the event, said: "Never seen such disgusting behaviour by anyone."

A spokeswoman for the Stonegate Pub Company, which runs the nightclub, said: "Following the club night Halloween promotion that took place at Rosies, Chester, we are extremely concerned that an award of shopping vouchers was made to two young women who were dressed in a distasteful and offensive manner.

"There was a serious error of judgment made on the evening by a contracted DJ to award such a prize and we apologise to anybody who may have been upset or offended by this."

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-24835322

They were awarded $242 in prizes

Amber Langford and Annie Collinge, both 19, scooped £150 after winning the contest despite mocking the 9/11 terror attacks.

Their costumes - marked North Tower and South Tower - included models of the two hijacked planes crashing into the New York skyscrapers.

The sick outfits also had tiny figures falling to their deaths and were topped off with the women wearing smouldering Stars and Stripes flags on their heads.

The pair were awarded £150 in shopping vouchers after coming first in the Halloween fancy dress contest at Rosie's nightclub in Chester.

Amber's dad Martin Langford - a pilot who was flying jets in the US when al-Qaeda attacked the World Trade Center in 2001 - has vowed to "have a little chat" with his daughter.

I'll take a rough atmosphere planet than keep sharing this one with people like that.

[Blubbartron]

Personally, I think it's great. People need to remove the enormous dick from their collective ass. What better way to stop overreacting to terrorism than to trivialize it? If we keep reacting like these incredibly rare events are horrible, terrible things that we should be permanently scarred over, well, the terrorists win.

Why stop there?

Lets dress up as Japanese people after experiencing a nuke. Wait, even better, lets have a contest on who can dress up the best as a Holocaust victim.

/huge sigh

Some people, seriously.

Neither of those were terrorism.

The point of terrorism is (shockingly) to cause terror. If you don't react as if a few thousand people dying once a decade or two is somehow even that big of a deal, then they really can't do nearly as much harm. Because spoiler: the harm they do comes from how people react more than the actual damage from the attacks.

Can't say I would have done the same thing. I'm not sure if the cops were fathers or not but hell just because I'm a dad, I would have probably helped the guy breach the house to save the kid. Poor little dude

It's funny what people will do in times of crisis. I can't imagine a scenario that if there were confirmed trapped inside a burning building, there wouldn't be AT LEAST a dozen cops trying to break that building down. That being said, I can see Isla's point and that's probably what the cops were thinking. Heartless? Maybe. Smart? Definitely. Damned if you do, damned if you don't to the extreme.

You think people outcry about these things because it's too soon? I know it's been over a decade but to those who lost family/friends, it's something they'll live with forever. Maybe it'll never heal, I dunno.

[Tokitoki]

Neither of those were terrorism.

Wut?

the use of violence and threats to intimidate or coerce, especially for political purposes.

Holocaust is not terrorism by this definition? I think it is.
I also don't think "trivializing terrorism" is the correct way to go either. Oh, 3,000 people died due to terrorist attacks in a single day? NBD.

[Blubbartron]

For the 99.99+% of Americans who weren't personally affected by 9/11 (or the Boston bombing), yes, it should be no big deal. It's TERRORISM, not a declaration of war by a sovereign state that has advanced military capabilities. Something like 6 or 7 THOUSAND people die each and every day. A spike of 30-40% on a single day, an event which has happened exactly once in several decades, is nothing. A drop in the bucket.

Yes, for the people with friends or family that died, it sucks for them, but I don't go around mourning every single person that dies, and neither should anyone else. It's insanity.

[Tokitoki]

You don't have to mourn every victim, nobody has said that, but to trivialize it means that it will not get the attention it does deserve. Before 9/11 terrorism is not something that we believed could effect us. It was something that happened abroad and would never reach us here in the almighty US.

I would like to think that as a consequence of the attacks on the World Trade Center that there is now some awareness of what is going on around the world and an understanding that these events could happen to any given community as well. Maybe it shouldn't be the first thing on everyone's mind, but to trivialize it will create such an opportunity again.
