Louisiana police arrest 2 officers in boy's shooting death
http://news.yahoo.com/louisiana-police-arrest-2-officers-boys-shooting-death-044855217.html

Col. Mike Edmonson, in a late-night press conference, gave few details of what exactly unfolded Tuesday night that led authorities to arrest the officers. But he made his disgust clear.
. . . .
Edmonson said Friday that the two officers are being booked on charges of second-degree murder and attempted second-degree murder in the shooting.

There were no weapons in the car, and it is unclear why the officers shot at the car.

It's still unclear what led police to pursue Few and what triggered the shooting. The parish coroner said earlier this week that the officers were serving a warrant on Few when he fled, but Edmonson later said he had no information about a warrant.

Very troubling.

I think so too, it's normal to enjoy having sex with whom we like.

Well, then myself, most people I know are abnormal. Do you like your mom, brother, sister, etc?
Do you like to have sex with them?

I just don't feel the need to define people's sexuality via who they have sex with.
It's common for most people to conclude right then that someone is gay after they hear e.g the guy just had another man in the bathroom.
Straight men can have sex with straight men.

Well, outside of an extreme situation of being chronically depressed/drunk/in drugs etc. , why would a man have sex with a man if not out of attraction?
What's next, I don't define a murderer by the fact that s/he kills people? I don't call someone rich just because they have a lot of money? (Again, excluding exceptional cases). Post-modernism and Relativism on steroids.
How _do_ you define it then?

I am being overwhelmed, by being in too many PF "Houston, we've got a problem here" threads at once.
I wonder how long it would be, if I cut and pasted comments, from one thread to the other, before anyone noticed.
hmmmm...

As is generally the case, when I become overwhelmed, I tend to focus on what are the most personally important things to be done.
I have been the "clean up woman" extraordinaire over the last few days.

Yup. I really cleaned up.

Wow, I just saw a preview on TV: they've made a movie of Phillip K. Dick's The Man in the High Castle.

It's set in an alternate reality where Germany and Japan won WWII. The defeated U.S. is divided between them, with the west being the Japanese sector and the East the German.

I really enjoyed the book back when I read it, and the preview looked pretty good.

I was mistaken. This isn't a movie, it's an Amazon Original Series. There goes the book,

I just saw this wicked spooky thing in the sky and it gave me the willies.

I glanced up at a bright light, assuming it was a plane at first, but then this cloud of "gas" spread out from it, as if it were something quietly exploding, just outside the atmosphere. As the gas cloud got larger, the thought crossed my mind that it might be a comet on a collision course with earth.

The bright light at the center eventually got dimmer and seemed to be moving "away" rather than down, but there was a blue-green glow left in it's wake.

If I don't post tomorrow, you'll know I succumbed to this secret foreign weapon, or whatever it was.

Apparently it was a trident missile:

This is still giving me the willies.

Here's a good video someone got of the "explosion":

I think I remember reading or hearing an interview where the guitarist for Pink Floyd said his fingers got all mixed up trying to playing fast. Maybe fast is not your thing. With all that practice you can probably do some great covers though.

Lookie lookie, I just hit that tempo!
IMO Pink Floyd makes pretty slow music

I do not think so, man on man or woman on woman is just so gross

It's ok, you can go with man on woman, ohh woman on man then.

Yes it's bisexual to me then. Maybe many straight men just gets unbalanced between 2 attracting targets and their favorite choice of one side over the other at some point in their lifetime can not be used to define their actual orientation or sexuality.

Slow, good,

Just got back from a looooong dentist appointment. I've started the process of replacing all the fillings I got when I was a kid.

I'm uncomfortably numb and I have a feeling every time I move my mouth, I'm probably biting my cheek and/or tongue

 

[dlgoff]

I'm uncomfortably numb ...

I can relate to that. This should help.

Amazing for sure. I've been listing to them since replying to Lisab.

aaaaw, thanks Don, that helps .

After the dentist, I went to the eye doctor - first time in many years! And I mean *many* years, like 10 or so. I wanted to get a thorough check-up, because my dad has gone blind from macular degeneration.

The doc gave me a once, twice, thrice-over and declared my eyes healthy. But she had to dilate my pupils to do the exam.

I spent the afternoon with a drooping mouth, cheek chewed up like hamburger, drooling, a bit loopy from the nitrous (my hands feel like two balloons), eyes dilated so much you couldn't see the blue. And strangely cold...couldn't get the chill out of my bones for the longest time.

But I'm STILL the biggest fan of modern medicine ever!
