Well TBH they talked about killing him there and then, I think the crate was so he wouldn't get his head smashed in.

How do you stop a bad man with a knife

Video of a young man in the Sydney CBD who had run amok with a knife and stabbed at least one woman.
The woman has been taken to hospital and is in a stable condition.

He seems to be mentally ill and is subdued by bystanders armed with various items including a chair and a milk crate. They chased him down the street and warned other people to get out of the way until they had him on the ground.

Not such good news appears one of our Seniors believes video games causes violence.

OK. I have long held that it is incredibly naive to assert that video games don't contribute to the violence we are seeing, these days, all around us. I don't care what the "experts" conclude in their ivory tower institutions. The Video Game Industry has billions of dollars, literally, to hire all of the experts they need to reach conclusions that are favorable to their industry.

As an experiment, I downloaded two violent video games for my cell phone, within the last hour. Both feature a gunman who shoots the bad guys, including ones labeled "Boss." In one game, very realistically animated, you are a sniper who kills men walking down the street, a guy who snatched a backpack from a student, an enemy sniper who is positioned at the top of a building, etc. You use your scope to line up your shot, fire, see the bullet close in on your human target, see the impact, see the blood, see the target go down. "Great job! You have neutralized your target!"

These games disgusted me to the point where I felt like my phone was rotting away. I couldn't wait to delete both of them!

Come on, folks! See these games for what they are: If kids and young adults are, daily, eagerly "killing" hundreds of bad guys, and others, during depictions of graphic violence, in the quiet of their living rooms and/or sitting in class or on the bus, they are being desensitized to violence, no two ways about it!

These games should be banned, for everyone! It won't happen, because of those aforementioned billions of dollars, but we should all do our part to keep them out of the hands of those we care about.

I won't reveal what games I dl'd, so please don't ask. They are no longer on my phone.

I think most Americans aren't aware that gyp refers to gypsy. The plight of the Romani is not taught in any school and for the longest time, I thought it was spelled "jip". Most people just wouldn't even make the connection. "Gypsy" doesn't even have a negative connotation here either.


Not to say that the use of the word is acceptable (once you've been educated).

Yet every time a non-American falls foul of some watermelon reference, REEE and the BCT goes ballistic saying that ignorance is no excuse.

[SmokyDave]

They're lying, they all know exactly what the word means, and they fucking love saying it. Don't believe their gaslighting bullshit. Every poster pretending they didn't know what it meant is a lying scumbag racist and should be perma-banned immediately.

Yeah the drill is how to clear protesters. Hong Kong the modern day Tibet I guess.

[Boredfrom]

Don't fall for their faux outrage trap. The use of the word xenophobia as I pointed out was strategic to tie the movement to negative things. Its interesting to see the same accounts signal.boosting that read of HK grievances as well

The next step is to paint the protests as far-right , western and they can handwave all issues away as not legitimate.

The protesters are toast, one had a scuffle with a cop and stole his baton so the cop went for his gun. It nearly ended with the first death.
Apparently they held someone 'hostage' in their group and denied emergency services to take him away.

They've got so little support from the international community that China can soon justify a massive police sweep.

I think gypsies have been so far out of the (American) cultural eye since that started being used, people have no idea the term and gypsies are related. I've seen it spelled a variety of ways too (jip, etc.), which further obscures the original meaning for those being introduced to it.

Not to excuse it but I can see why awareness would be lower. And this is my ignorance speaking, but in the latter 20th century and the 21st I associate gypsies more closely with Europe.

what the fuck is cold cocking?

It’s (kind of old school) slang for a punch out of nowhere that knocks a guy right out. Not a sucker punch because it’s not a sneak move.


As for anyone wondering about why some of us are so harsh you should try to track down the interview with lovitz (I forget where, might have been Maron or Smodcast but could have been somewhere else) where he talks about the night Phil was murdered.

So people here are okay with violence towards someone they don't like? Just to be clear.

Get off that high horse. Should he have been punched? No. Are we obligated to show him sympathy for being punched? Also no.

He didn't say kill all babies, he said kill all white babies etc.

[bork]

lol I always thought the phrase was "cold clock"

It is. I don't what the hell a "cold cock" is aside from the literal sense.

It is and I'm not sure why more people didn't correct it.

Is hot cocking a thing?

It's been "cold-cock" since 1918, and that's what you'd find in most dictionaries. "Cold clock" isn't a thing as far as I'm aware.

And you're right. Fuck cern.


So yeah, youd say cold clock right? But its allegedly cock?


Now, think about when someone gets knocked out or "CLOCKED". So you're supposed to say "oh man, dude got COCKED!"? Rubbish.


same shit with the berenstein bears. This timeline is garbage.

It is 100% cocked, not clocked.

It's either "clocked" or "cold cocked" as slang for slugging someone. Not "cold clocked".

What if your hand was frozen and you clocked a dude?

How does the "cock" in "cold cocked" pertain to punching someone? It doesn't even make any sense.

How would “clock” make any more sense?

Probably doesn't, but at least it sounds better.

I think some of you guys are confusing "cold cock" and "getting your clock cleaned." Two different phrases with similar meanings.


Andy Dick is a known shithead, dont have much sympathy for the guy.

[bork]

I've personally experienced Andy behaving in a way that I thought was going to lead to a fight more than once - he constantly provokes verbal arguments (or at least he used to) - which is why I think his agent is so firmly caveating that "not this time." He'd start arguments or say outlandish things dozens of times a night at parties and events to the point that he almost came with a warning label. I got the feeling he literally couldn't help himself and I watched him "flirt" with men and women. And by flirt I mean say disgraceful things in a half-joking manner and sort of always in-character. And his reputation for much worse behavior is evident. But regardless - if a skinny old white guy is insulting you, or bothering you or simply minding his own business - the three options you have available are to ignore him, retaliate verbally or mind your own business.


The number of people who die, are paralyzed or who suffer traumatic brain injuries annually from either being punched once, or punched and then hitting their head on the ground, is astonishing and it's incredibly dangerous. This is just one of a thousand reasons why regardless of provocation, taking the high ground is always the right thing to do and instigating violence when there's no direct or imminent threat to you or your companions, is why it's called "sucker" punching. The idea is that the victim is a sucker, but so are you if your first instinct is to cold-cock a helpless unsuspecting person.


I get that people can be riled up, irrational, angry, insulted or incensed, and I have a short fuse myself, but it's always better to take a deep breath and walk away, regardless of provocation - if there's no physical threat to your wellbeing or safety. And frankly even then discretion is the better part of valor. You don't want to be on either end of a serious injury or worse.
