Oh these proud boys are just wimps. Can't carry a real weapon all day.

Is that a PPSH41?

They make up in quantity what they lack in quality. 30 rounds of 5.56 will drop pretty anything.

There's a company here that takes you boar hunting with spears.

Thanks, the guy in the picture did not look precisely like a Red Army uniform, but google refused to give me anything else than the tommy gun and the ppsh

The town has a few taxis but no other way for the 93-year old to get around. Population 7000. If you are a healthy 70 year old you can get around on foot. Except when the 93-year old drives over you.

Cop signals to pregnant woman to pull over for speeding. Pregnant woman slows down, turns on hazard lights, plans to proceed to nearest exit and pull over. Cop then hits her with pit maneuver, sends her car careening into concrete barrier before rolling several times. Protect and Serve!

I do hope this works...If it takes off, it could destroy capitalism, socialism, communism, and several other 'isms' in the rush to support charities.


ETA - downright heartwarming ending, even if it is just a commercial.

Ypsilanti Township boy shot in arm while getting bike, suspect released on bond


YPSILANTI, Mich. (FOX 2) - A boy from Ypsilanti Township is recovering after being threatened with a sledgehammer and then shot as he retrieved his bike from his neighbor's front yard.

Arnold Daniel says his kids were outside on their bikes on Candlewood Lane in Ypsilanti Township when they stopped their bikes and left one of them in front of a neighbor's home.

When Coby went back to get his bike, Daniel said the neighbor came out with a sledgehammer in his hand and said something to the boy. Daniel said he didn't know exactly what was said but knows his son said something back.

After that, the neighbor went back inside and Daniel said he shot a gun through the front window, hitting Coby in the arm.

"He tried hitting me with a sledgehammer but that’s not going to work because I’m too fast. (Then he) got a gun and BOOM shot me right here," Coby said.

The bullet went through the boy's arm and he was rushed to the hospital. Daniel said the doctor told him that had the bullet been an inch in either direction it likely would have killed Coby.

The young boy is home from the hospital and expected to be okay.

According to Daniel, they've had issues with the neighbor in the past including one time where he saw the neighbor trying to throw one of his child's bikes away.

The Washtenaw County Sheriff arrested the neighbor, who was identified as Ryan Le-Nguyen. He was charged with assault with intent to murder.

Three days later, he was released on a $10,000 bond. Daniel is angry and confused.

"I’m trying to figure out he got a bond so low for trying to kill my kid," Daniel said.

Video, which you can see above but may be hard to watch, show the kids playing on Candlewood Lane. Then you hear the gunshot and Coby realizes he was hit.

Coby yells out in pain and an older child yells to call the police.

Daniel said Coby doesn't entirely understand that he was nearly killed.

"Right now, he’s not even processing what happened. He doesn’t realize how close he came to not being here..but I realize it," he said.

The judge gave him a $10,000 cash bond, which he made on Tuesday and was picked up by a family member.

He was ordered not to return home but Daniel says that's little solace.

"I’m scared for my family because I don’t know what he’s capable of," he said.

The prosecutor's office told FOX 2 that they were shocked by the low bond and requested $100,000. An emergency motion to raise the bond has been filed.

The "of" is an unnecessary colloquialism at best, a grammatical disgrace at worst...

Child labor to the rescue

On the tony Massachusetts island of Nantucket, your restaurant server at that upscale restaurant this summer may have just come from middle school.

The nationwide worker shortage has hit a new extreme prompting chef Gabriel Frasca, on "Cavuto: Coast to Coast", to explain that Straight Wharf Restaurant has resorted to interviewing eighth graders.

"We’re at the point in the hiring process where not only are we considering eighth graders but we’re interviewing them," he said. "That’s new … for me but hey, he’s got housing."

Frasca explained that the restaurant's location in Nantucket has a specific issue when it comes to hiring limitations since commuting is not an option. Altogether, the restaurant has been experiencing worker shortages in recent years but he said it is "particularly acute" right now.

The Nantucket chef shared that his restaurant is offering even greater hiring incentives than before including signing bonuses and housing.
