Homeless guy story: I saw the "ninjas killed my family" guy the other day 56th & 5th. His current sign says something about needing money for a threesome.

Did they tase him first?

Props to the homeless dude for being so crafty.

 
sorickjames 2008-02-23 09:43:12 PM  
the other crimes from this article are good, too.

bagel to the face.
girl outside with only a halter top and jeans in 55 degree weather.
suicide attempt call leads to a domestic battery charge.
man honks horn for two minutes then resists arrest.

And,a man gets a DUI after not stopping at a stop sign. frees hand in squad car, splits partition and hits officer in the face. promptly, upgrades from DUI to battery of an officer via a swift punch to the face.

this article is full of win.

2) Call 911 repeatedly.

I once had a homeless man assault me for the very same reason.... while I was trying to sign a petition to repeal the California "snack tax." With an onion on my belt.

So the cop is at fault for having a faulty latch on his window partition. No charge for being a img1.fark.net

I've told people that COPS is the best, most consistent and longest-running reality show on television. They give me looks. Weird looks. But I'm right.

should society house the down and outers, or should we let them starve/freeze to death?

Well, they're not staying with me so...

honking his horn for TWO hours!

That was a smart cop, got a win for everybody. He knew the guy wanted a place to sleep, so arrested him for the only thing he could think of, and let the 911 operators go back to doing their jobs.

I bet a few jab with the ol taser might have given the bum reason to pause before calling 911 again. And, no paper work.

I've always said, "If I am ever homeless with nothing to lose, I'm robbing the first bank I see". WIN-WIN IMHO.

That's the difference between me and the homeless; this guy was just looking for a handout for a night and I'm going for the gold.

You might want to try something that won't get you locked up in PMITA prison.

 
Solarex 2008-02-23 10:24:19 PM  
Brick through the cop's windshield would have gotten him 3 hots and a cot as well. That, or if he wasn't the destructive type, just piss on the cop's leg. That would work. Not a good idea to punch a cop though, as it is usually a felony and here in Texas will get you at least a year.

 
jack21221 2008-02-23 10:29:54 PM  
My best friend has been locked up in county for the past 60 days for a DUI. He says it's really not bad at all. It would be paradise for a homeless man, especially during the winter.

 
JerkyMeat 2008-02-23 10:34:09 PM  
That's sad.....

But cops are full service, so if the man wanted to die that day instead of just finding a place to sleep, I'm sure the cop would have helped him under the right conditions, of course.

Unfortunately, Cops was spawn from an ex-Soviet who grew up under totalitarianism. Totalitarianism is the only thing this man understood, and sold the concept to Fox. Cops is the longest running police state propaganda program, and basically has brought the masses (lowest common denominator) of society to become accustomed to police actions without question.
I never watch the show, it is disgusting.

I read your comment, and instead of resentment, or anger washing over me, I just get really confused.

Yikes - 60 days for a DUI? How many priors does he have?

 
JerkyMeat 2008-02-23 10:52:35 PM  
It's not trolling, kiddies, it's true. "Cops" was show developed by an ex-Soviet who grew up in an oppressive totalitarian environment, you know, similar to the kind the GOP are trying to create here in the U.S.

To me, and many others it is propaganda. Sorry if this confuses anyone, but if you are a "COPS" fan I do understand YOUR confusion.

COPS is great. Nothing like seeing the dregs of society in thier most brilliant moments, without actually having to be directly exposed to them. Best ones are where they catch somebodies crime on camera/in the act and they deny it was them.

Guy: wunt me man
Cop: we have it on camera
Guy: toll ya it wunt me
Cop: do you want to see the film?
Guy: I dun need see no fim, it wun meh.
Cop: ok....

It's more like they are exporting a culture which never understood freedom and promoting the idea that a police state is natural...kinda like the GOP in America.

 
buk110 2008-02-23 11:02:13 PM  
Great, so a bunch of tax dollars are giving this scumbag 3 hots and a cot....

How about someone give me money for my meals and housing. A bullet to the skull would have been a lot cheaper; he's homeless not like anyone would miss him

Wow, that's mindblowing. Ayn Rand was born in Russia and I can tell that she was influencing America with communist thoughts, too!

Yeah, I was hoping for more. I was at least expecting a comparison between the whole "bread and circuses" of Rome.

Well, I guess we can be thankful that the Soviet infiltrators are just messing with the TV shows and not doing anything TOO scary, like trying to sap and impurify all of our precious bodily fluids. That's the way your hard-core commie works, you know.

Only problem with the GOP hate is, I think he believes it.

I know. I'm taking a class on China currently and reading about the 30 million killed during the Great Leap Forward.
