And if you put as your Facebook status “I totally raped at Halo today” for your two hundred Facebook friends to see, statistically, you have just reminded thirty-three people of one of the worst experiences of their entire lives.

To describe how well you did at a video game.

Good job!

Elderly Woman Who Locked Abusive Cop in Basement Wins Settlement from Police

hipsterlibertarian:

An elderly woman got the last word after locking a police officer in her basement, and later suing the police.

Venus Green, who was 87 when she was handcuffed, roughed up and injured by police, will receive $95,000 as part of a settlement with Baltimore City. The city chose to settle the case instead of taking a chance in front of a jury.

In July 2009, Green’s grandson, Tallie, was shot and wounded. Tallie said he was shot at a convenience store, but police insisted it happened inside Green’s house and that the shooter was either Tallie or Green.

“Police kept questioning him. They wouldn’t let the ambulance attendant treat him,” Green said. “So, I got up and said, ‘Sir, would you please let the attendants treat him? He’s in pain,’” Green said.

Police wanted to go the basement, where Tallie lived, but Green refused on the basis that the police did not have a warrant.

“I said, ‘No, you don’t have a warrant. You don’t go down in my house like that. He wasn’t shot in here.’”

A struggle ensued between a male officer and Green.

“He dragged me, threw me across the chair, put handcuffs on me and just started calling me the ‘b’ name. He ridiculed me,” Green said.

An officer went into the basement and Green locked him inside.

“She locked the door, the basement door. She basically took matters into her own hands,” Nilson said.

“This was my private home, and if I latched it, that was my prerogative because he had no search warrant to go in my basement. So, I had to right to latch it,” Green said.

Good for her.  Click through the link to watch a video report, including an interview with Green.  Not only is her presence of mind and willing to stand up to abusive police admirable, but she looks a solid 20 years younger than she is.  Impressive.

TSK: Pay no attention to the poison.

cranquis:

If you’re here to see a doctor because of your “cough that just won’t stop”…

And you smoke 2 packs of cigarettes per day…

And you start the conversation with, “Now, doctor, don’t you talk to me about quitting smoking”…

Isn’t that kind of like pouring sugar in your gas tank, and then telling the mechanic, “JUST DO AN OIL CHANGE AND EVERYTHING WILL BE FINE”???

Reflection of Desire [6.8]

[Reid, Hotchner, and Prentiss are at the train station where the latest victim was abuducted.]
Reid: You're here to target a woman but you don't want to attract attention.
Hotch: Well, standing in the middle gawking at passing women is going to attract attention.
[sees Reid gawking at passing women]
Hotch: Like you're doing now.
Reid: [snaps out of trance] What's that?
Prentiss: And just like that, [snaps fingers] an IQ of 187 is slashed to 60.
