I might want to see that.

Commonly misunderstood tool. The garden hose used to beat someone is half filled with lead shot. As you swing it, the lead shot migrates via centrifugal force to the striking end and delivers quite the blow.

Source? A buddy retired from NOPD gifted me one he carried in his back pocket back in the day. Empty hose would be weak sauce.

The AG could push for malfeasance in office,

That charge requires the person to be either using their position to do something illegal or not doing something their position requires. Hard to see how that fits.

Second Degree Battery could apply. But it requires rendering the victim unconscious or causing significant injuries requiring hospitalization. A “oof my neck and back call a lawyer” doesn’t normally cut it.

Underrated comment. :bow:

Talked to my sauces with the office, and this sauce is no super fan of Randy, this is what he said:

“I am torn on this. Randy was in the wrong but… this guy is such a flaming a-hole and has said so many exaggerated terrible things about the Sheriff that he really had it coming. There is a line where even politicians and public figures deserve a break from exaggerated criticism. I can’t say I wouldn’t have done the same thing.”

I called my guy to dogpile Randy, of whom I am not a fan, but now I am kind of sympathetic. I guess my comment at this point is that he shouldn’t have done it while shite faced. If someone deserves an arse beating, do it sober and in the parking lot.

Not sure what’s controversial. People use cars to murder all the time. This is no different than the Jihadist that mowed down people in Italy yesterday.

This thread is about whole home generators. Yes smaller ones are generally gas.

I used to drink. I still do but I used to as well.

Last big hurricane (Ida?) I was standing in the kitchen when the power went out. I thought "oh shite, here we go..." Twenty seconds later everything came back on and cold AC came out of the vent.

I thought, "that generator just paid for itself." I repeated that thought daily over the next two weeks until I got power back.

So, if you live somewhere susceptible to hurricanes and the possibility of an extended power outage, frick yes it is worth it.

I met Muhammad Ali and not just in passing. Was at a resort golf course country club bar in Phoenix years ago (late 90’s) and he and his whole family were in there. He came over and started doing magic tricks for my buddies kids. His wife sat down and explained that his doctors were having him do sleight of hand tricks to help with his coordination from the Parkinson’s. We all ended up at a big table talking and drinking. I played shuffleboard and pool with his kids some as well. We were having a great time and then some dipshits in the bar realized who he was and left, somehow went and bought some posters and other shite and brought the stuff back and started badgering him to sign all the stuff. Apparently they told someone where ever they bought the stuff because then a bunch of other people showed up wanting autographs. They left at that point.

I had been having a great time all afternoon and hadn’t asked for an autograph, a picture or anything else. Was legit just enjoying hanging out. As he was leaving, he grabbed me by my shoulder and pulled me out of my chair and faced me and squared off with his hands up. I was confused and then realized he was doing a weigh in style face off. I put my hands up too and he got right in my face. Everyone was snapping photos and i still have that one somewhere.

In the pre-hospital medicine world, any fall at twice your height is considered serious and potentially fatal. Bunch of Baw Cajun plant workers are all probably around 5' so your 10' number tracks.
