Two storys in todays papers;
1 A young man of about 20 wanted a "life experience" so he could get a tattoo about it. He decided to throw himself from a car moving at 40mph as his "life experience". He died, as you would expect, as soon as his head made contact with the tarmac 2 A gang kidnapped a man, strapped explosives round his neck, and made him rob a bank. The police were alerted and closed in on the unfortunate man. As they approached him the gang detonated the bomb killing the poor man. Only in America.............I hope. This is not an anti USA post, just some stuff that caught my attention in the papers. Aza. |

Hi,
Not only in the States. I know a case, in Cameroon, where a guy threw himself at the windshield of a (slowish) moving car. He survived, but he was hurt more badly than he could have planned. There were several witnesses; it seems that his motovation was to get compensation from tourists. That thing about the bank hold-up ! Anyone want to order or deliver a pizza now? |

The first one sounds like a stunt from "Jackass." The second one, a police and FBI nightmare. And the mess! Sorry, I had to say it

Second one-the thinking is maybe he did it to himself somehow??? There was apparently another weapon in the vehicle...some sort of a cane that was also a type of gun?? If the poor man did do it to himself, then we should all talk to whatever gods we speak to for him...

The second one you can see the video at a web site, but I'm affraid I might get banned for posting a link (or for the content).
The local news crew from where this happened caught it on tape. They don't actually show the bomb going off, but do show the aftermath. The more the FBI uncover from this story, the more "fishy" it becomes. |
