Ladies, Avert Your Eyes
From 1849, a tale of terror and suspense:
The first jet of urine was followed by an explosive sound and flash of fire, and quick as thought the penis was drawn into the bottle with a force and tenacity which held it as firmly as if in a vice.
What followed, unsurprisingly, was quite stressful. Among the words used are enormous size.
What was I saying? Oh yes. Consider this an open thread.
Doug Little needs a few dozen of these hidden inside the walls of his home.
Pretty close. I remember it from the early/mid 90’s. Everything, especially everything unix-y, was ‘X’ or ‘Ex’ back then. Excel, Exceed, X-something. I can’t recall all the names but I remember it being bloody confusing for a bit.
…if you’re not going to keep a pot of boiling oil handy? I mean, what’s the point?
I am sure we are all with you, but let’s face it, it looks and sounds like that was somewhere in the UK so we know who would have been going to the hoosegow, not the same outcome wouldn’t happen in NYC, California, etc. if the homeowner wasn’t some sort of BIPOC, BAME, or LGBAFLCIO.
Yes. That’s the “or violence” part. Last resort. You still need a critical mass of people…volume…or you might be the one taken for a ride.
Why? A judicious use of force on these spoiled brats would have prevented untold nonsense.
Puh-lease. If that were even remotely tolerable we wouldn’t be in this situation. If you can’t raise your voice, you are very, very likely to be too chickenshit to raise your fists. People cannot stand to have their social standing threatened. Their physical bodies? Well, we see that even today as people cave into the thugs. See the older lady who tried to stop the thieves at Lowes. Old lady stood for something and people lost their minds that she should allow her own physical body to be threatened, let alone their own. It’s even kinda right there in your Chesterton quote.
I like how the officer struck the burglar without warning.
Notice, though, how much light the burglar reflects.
Soddit, I’ll say it out loud, they wouldn’t have reacted this way if the goon was a member of a protected class
British (Scottish?) police responding, presumably quickly, to a burglary. What parallel universe is this?
Mind you there were 6 of them including the 2 wee lassies bringing up the rear.
What parallel universe is this?
I recall seeing that video like six years ago. It’s not recent.
That many years ago? Time flies, then.
I like the sound of an Imelda Musical, it must be a shoe in for success.
OK, I’ll just get my coat before it catches accidentally in fire…
