He'll be put out of business, all they have to do is show up and mass protest all smoking within the 25' foot distance.

Doesn't surprise me that it happened in my neck of the woods.

Hello,


Yes, a bucket of water would be much more safe.

It still doesn't make it right.

SALT LAKE CITY — A Utah restaurant owner who sprayed a smoker in the face with a fire extinguisher Friday announced divestment of his three vegan eateries a few days later.

Alex Jamison, co-founder of Salt Lake’s Monkeywrench, Buds and Boltcutter, posted on each of the restaurants’ Facebook pages Monday, apologizing for his actions and relinquishing his position as a shareholder in the companies.

She was referred to a local orthopaedic surgeon at Latrobe Regional Hospital, who operated with his registrar to fix the thumb and set it in plaster.

The pain started that night and by five days later, Britney told Four Corners, she was in agony.

"Literally the worst pain I reckon I've ever been through," Britney said.

She went to her local GP clinic and when staff took the plaster off her thumb, Britney and her mother, Leanne Keating, couldn't believe what they saw.

The tourniquet used to cut off blood supply to her thumb during the surgery had been left on, underneath the plaster.

Police said surveillance video shows Iida walking to the victim’s home with a bag and then walking back to her car with that bag full. The victim told police she stole clothes and shoes.

But then, police said Iida went back to the side of the house and this time put a garden hose through the window.
...
Police said she also told an officer that she had screwed up and that her karma was screwed up over what happened.

A Kentucky-based company that produces CBD has filed a $44 million lawsuit against an Oregon company it claims sold it nearly worthless hemp seeds that ruined a massive 2019 crop.
...
The suit says it was only after the Kentucky company had distributed the hemp seeds from Oregon to various farmers and those farmers’ crops had sprouted that the company learned the seeds were male and not female.
I'm sure this was just an honest mix-up as you can't ask about gender anymore in business.;)

No. I wouldn't trust him around my tires.
This is a real story, so all of you who want political correctness can go sit on a bench. One night we had two drunken vandal's. "Indian's" or (Native Americans) who committed an un-American crime. They punctured the side walls of every car sitting on the street for 4 blocks, the Damage estimated at $15,000, some cars all tires flat others just the tires facing the street and some just toward the sidewalk. They caught them in the act, but when they were running away from the police the ditched the Knife in my wife's Daycare owners yard. Tossing it into the yard over the fence.

They thought they would get away with it, but unfortunately, they police got the knife and sent them to prison. In court they kept yelling ("you stole our land!, you stole our land!")

I say tell that to my Ancestors in England or Switzerland, everyone has been a victim of that cruelty, but you don't see me puncturing tires of people who had nothing to do with it....
