Woman at a tech conference hears a couple guys behind her cracking "big dongle" and "forking" jokes and takes offense. Rather than confront them, she snaps a picture of them and tweets it to event staff asking them to control the situation. They're escorted out and eventually apologize. One of the guys, a father of three, gets fired from his job as a result. The Internet gets a hold of the story, starts sending rape/death threats to the woman, publishes her contact info, and contacts her employer threatening them if they don't fire her. Eventually, they fire her, setting off ANOTHER firestorm.

I hate people.

I've posted before the story of the University of Nebraska grad student who was hauled up before one of those star chamber proceedings. Apparently he had a framed photo of a young woman in a 2 piece bathing suit at the beach, on his desk. Some amazon had to walk by his cubicle occasionally, and pronounced that the picture created a "hostile work environment." Turns out the lady in the picture was young guy's new bride, taken on their honeymoon. Presumably he was reassured that this matter wouldn't be on his "permanent record." How confident of that should he be? And presumably there were no consequences for the "woman" who was offended. If prevention of giving offense is your first priority, then you are absolutely empowering the most easily offended. This babe couldn't take the time to ask him who the lady in the picture was. She just assumed it was "nasty man stuff," and threw him under the bus. If it were me, I think I'd want to get my money's worth out of the incident. "Willard" comes to mind.

Did you hear the one about the lesbian who walked into a bar with a duck on her head?

Totally unnecessary slaughter of an unsuspecting domesticated animal. I hope he gets prison time, and shares a cell with a member of ELF.

If he'd videoed himself hunting and shooting a deer, no one but the "Four Legs Good, Two Legs Baaaaad" crowd and some idiotic teenage girls would be whining about it. Sadly, this is what you get with the redneck idiots that give the hunting and shooting world a bad name.

Total agree. You just wonder what's going on behind that faceplate. How does somebody get to the point where they think shooting that animal (and recording the grand deed) is the right thing to do? He's probably a celebrity now at the local redneck water hole.

I was assigned to Goose AB in Labrador when the controversy about killing seal pups was all the rage. The then Premier of Newfoundland & Labrador, Joey Smallwood, went out on the ice and joined in the kill. Those guys weren't killing those pups to make a point or a video or for sh*ts and giggles. They were killing them because they needed to put food on the table and because there was a market. As long as steps were taken to make sure they weren't overharvesting, I could live with it.

The baby wasn't shot in the crossfire. Before killing him, the shooter said: "Do you want me to kill your baby?" I'm assuming the shooter isn't death penalty eligible. But if he were, it would be appropriate to dust off all those anti-capital punishment bromides. One of my favorites is "if we juice this pos, we're as bad as he is." Really? The shooter will have due process up the wazoo. A lawyer. Maybe several lawyers. Jury consultants. "Community leaders" and relatives pleading for mercy. Opinion makers pointing out the hopelessness of his life, how he "never had a chance". And how, come to think of it, we're probably as responsible for his depraved act as he is. If he were convicted and condemned, he'd have years of appeals, many more lawyers. Many more judges. Probably an appeal to the Governor.

During which we will forget the infant whose life was snuffed out by a teenager who put a gun to his head and pulled the trigger. Zero due process for a helpless child. "Do you want me to kill your baby?"

If he were eligible for the death penalty, imposing it on this "person" would be a profound act of civic hygiene.

Or: "he fell down the stairs" (3 or 4 times) in a one story police station. Evidently it was good police work. The cops had good descriptions provided by the baby's mother. And they flooded the zone looking for these two. Among other things, they checked school attendance records to see who wasn't in class at the time of the shootings. Easy peasy.

Huh... And this was GA and the cops didn't find a way to air these 2 animals out???? Shocking.... I have met some GA officers and the things they brag about is rather disturbing. Even though they do save the tax payers some money.

I'll match GA with my years in Houston, where cops tell homeowners: "Just make sure there's only one story when we show up." True story: years ago outside HPD headquarters, a guy attacked the attendant at the parking lot directly across the street, with a sword. His timing was a little off. He did it during a shift change. He was shot "multiple" times.

It happens :) before I was a sworn officer and still in college I worked security at a **** hole of a low income housing complex. One night I was walking the beat and came upon a robbery in progress. Guy takes off running away from me, with the gun in his hand. At the time I did not think it would look good to shoot the guy in the back. He got away, but all of the responding cops and the LT that responded all said waste the ****er. We got your back. As long as he has a weapon or you think he has a weapon you are golden.

I don't know how to do that linky thing to a picture that I uploaded somewhere so that it appears here. You'll have to deal with a FB link to read a story of a "clumsy" thief.

I just used that term on my brother-in-law, a volunteer fireman. His response:
I suppose that's not exactly an insult. In hazmat situations, we call cops "blue canaries". If we get on scene and the canary is vertical, that's good. If the canary is horizontal, then we should probably get out of there.
