Runaway cow shot by police

Quote:

A runaway cow was shot by a Billings Police Department sniper on the South Side late Tuesday afternoon after leading police and animal control on a chase through downtown.

A sniper? Really?

If there is a silver lining to that story it's that he didn't kill a family who swerved into oncoming traffic to avoid him. Just when you think there is no limit to how stupid people can get

That must have been a crazy few minutes for those girls who might have thought they ran over bigfoot.

I spent 5 minutes in the comments section looking for an answer to this question, and the speculation seems to be that the chickens are packed in so tightly together that they need some kind of big fan circulating air or other oxygen infusion or they all suffocate to death. Another reason not to eat at chick fil a.

Going by this judges ruling in another case I'm going to say the man needs to be found not guilty. Those women need to know that bad things can happen while sunbathing.

No jail time for Flagstaff cop in bar groping

Quote:

The judge sentencing Evans, Coconino County Superior Court Judge Jacqueline Hatch, said she hoped both the defendant and the victim would take lessons away from the case.

Bad things can happen in bars, Hatch told the victim, adding that other people might be more intoxicated than she was.

"If you wouldn't have been there that night, none of this would have happened to you," Hatch said

If they hadn't gone sunbathing they wouldn't have been ejaculated on, end of story.
