- And that’s another way to handle the situation. Sure, a
supermarket manager who finds a customer shoplifting from their business could
react by a) calling store security, b) confronting the shoplifter himself or c)
calling police, but where’s the fun in that? A supermarket manager in Berlin
knows that sometimes you have to blaze new trails and unfortunately, that’s the
precise reason this pioneer is facing criminal charges including bodily harm
causing death. See, when a Moldovan man was spotted removing items from the
store without paying for them, the manager sprung into action and administered
some corporal punishment of his own. According to police, the manager beat the
man so severely that the victim died from his injuries. The alleged shoplifter
was seized by the market operator on Sept. 17 and accused of shoplifting and
received what turned out to be a fatal beating. What’s amazing about this is
that the victim waited a full two days to go to a doctor in the capital's
Lichtenberg district with serious facial injuries. He was immediately to the
hospital and died one day later. At that point, the charges facing the store
manager went from assault to bodily harm causing death and honestly, this fool
did it for a minimum-wage, low-end job that wasn’t worth risking his freedom
and next few years of his life. Worse still, police say they are looking into
further similar occurrences at the same store. Maybe it’s time to take a closer
look at that managerial training manual…….
- Dear University of Alabama football players: Please stop
trying to buy the ladies of Tuscaloosa two tickets to the gun show. First, it
was offensive tackle Cam Robinson facing felony gun charges during the
offseason, which he managed to duck because the district attorney declined to
prosecute. Now, linebacker Tim Williams has been arrested by campus police on a
misdemeanor charge of carrying a pistol without a permit for bumping around
campus with his weapon. The University of Alabama Police Department declined
comment on Williams’ reported arrest, but it’s a bad look for one of the top prospects
for next year’s NFL draft, becoming the second Alabama player arrested for a
charge involving a gun this year. Sure, his numbers last season - getting 10.5
sacks despite not starting a game - look great to NFL teams, but having a
criminal record tends to be something the league notices because there is a
pesky player conduct policy in place. It’s also worth asking why a 6-foot-4,
237-pound linebacker who is revered by many on campus feels the need to pack
heat on his way to the dining hall, library or rec center, but too many times,
athletes in this position don’t have anything remotely resembling a good
reason. Then again, prosecutors in Alabama don’t seem too inclined to prosecute
Crimson Tide players for gun-related offenses, so Williams can probably skate
on this one anyhow……..
- Maybe next time use UPS (Universal Porpoise Shipping)? Maybe
that will placate animal rights activists angry that live dolphins were shipped
to a dolphin aquarium in Hawaii via FedEx. Smartphone video of the shipment
inflamed tensions, showing several people who appear to be working on and
around a stretcher used to carry dolphins when they're out of the water. The
video was taken inside a FedEx cargo warehouse in Honolulu, Hawaii and the two
animal right activists who filmed the incident ask the workers if they have
permits to transport the animals and then, an employee walks toward the
activists from within the warehouse, closes a chain link gate, then drops a
metal door, preventing them from seeing anything else. "This is how all
dolphins are transported from one marine park to another," one of the
activists from Animal Rights Hawaii, a nonprofit organization based in Honolulu,
says near the end of the video. It’s worth noting that the video appears to
show dolphin trainers and caretakers preparing one of three dolphins for a
FedEx plane trip, so it’s not as if these are just FedEx dock workers handling
animals they know nothing about. A second clip from the scene appears to show a
crate containing one of the dolphins on the back of a flatbed pickup truck,
bound for Dolphinaris Arizona, a dolphin aquarium located near Scottsdale. "FedEx
is one carrier that is experienced at safely transporting animals, and frankly,
is one of the best," Dolphinaris general manager Grey Stafford said,
adding that three new dolphins arrived at his facility from Hawaii on earlier
this week and are doing well. Dolphinaris is a facility set to open next month on
the Salt River Pima-Maricopa Indian Community, offering customers a chance to
swim with the dolphins…….
- World, we’ve finally learned how to make Liam Gallager go
away - forever. The former Oasis and Beady Eye frontman has seen his best band
self-destruct due to the egos and megalomaniacal tendencies of both he and his
brother, seen his new band call it quits and is now preparing to drop his debut
solo album because it appears he’s finally run out of people will work with him
and according to Gallagher, he will “probably f*ck off forever” if it fails.
The album is due out next year after the rocker inked a deal with Warner Bros.
Records. "God, I don't know, it's nowhere near...Good songs, good vocals,
rock n' roll, mate, stuff you won't have to think too much about,” Gallagher
said of the solo album. "No long guitar solos, no drum solos, no drum
solos, no mad wizardy keyboard, just bang-in-your-face. it's good."
Straightforward rock actually does sound good, so maybe this will be a solid
release. On the topic he his future plans, Gallagher was characteristically
blunt. "I've done the Beady Eye thing and that didn't come off and I
thought maybe I'll just have a break, but I wrote these songs and I thought,
what else can I do?” he asked. “This album, if it does well we crack on and do
another one. If it doesn't I don't know what I'll do. I probably will f*ck off
forever but we'll see." So all people have to do to make this
self-centered rock-and-roll narcissist disappear is ignore his first (and
possibly last) solo album……..
