What a tool.

Ah, the NYPD...

They shot at dude 84 times. Hit him once. Once. In the calf. That means they missed this idjit car jacker 83 times.

And, if you believe the talking head in the video (below), they did it with 16 shot revolvers.:eyebrow:



Also, talking head makes it sound like the cops were wearing red pants.

It would be reassuring to think they were aiming for a leg shot but with 83 misses they could just as easily have been aiming for his head. Could be the world's most accidental good shooting.

I don't know how one can fire 83 rounds, in NYC, and not hit somebody.

Yeh that does seem somewhat surprising.

It's the new police strategy to avoid civil strife. They don't shoot bullets at a suspect, they shot bullets all around the suspect so the suspect can't move without running into a bullet. That way if a suspect gets shot, it's the suspect's fault.

Good time to buy into ammunition manufacturers.

Elaborate cheating scandal in the chess world.

Arcangelo Ricciardi was ranked 51,366 in the world when he entered this chess tournament in Italy. He creamed everyone he played, and rose dramatically through the standings. But he had some peculiar mannerisms. He never got up out of his chair, and he had his arms crossed all the time with his fist jammed into his armpit. He also kept blinking like crazy. Officials were convinced he was cheating, and asked him to empty his pockets. They found nothing. They asked him to open his shirt, and he refused. So then they put him through a metal detector and found a camera hanging around his neck and some sort of remote vibrating device in his armpit. They deduced the camera transmitted the game to an accomplice and the accomplice sent moved to him through some sort of code to his vibrating armpit. And he was blinking to decipher the instructions.

Sounds like a really elaborate cheating system, and I don't understand it. According to the tournament's website.

I'd jam my fist in my armpit for 300 euros.
Heck, I'd do it for free AND take a photo if you asked nicely.

Wonder why his accomplice didn't just compete himself though?
Although maybe he was using one of those new fangled computer things behind the scenes.

Chess Sundae, chess world, not chest world. :p:

Please, oh pretty please.

Remember the guy that allowed his kids to carve their names on a hand rail in a nat'l forest, even after another guy asked him to stop them?

Justice.

Nice

Changes, they don't take 'em to school anymore, now they stay home with 'em.

I guess some things never change.

Park service wouldn't give out his identity, I guess to spare the family the Cecil treatment.
