Gallstones, you near enough?

Shit, I read that as free gin!

No, not at all "only in America", but it did happen in the US, and it is not worth a separate thread: Since Salem, witches don't get burnt any more. They just get fired.

Highlight of the article: "The assistant director told her he was investigating a threat of workplace violence. He said that her former mentor in on-the-job training, officer Mary Bagnoli, reported that she was afraid of Smith because she was a witch who practiced witchcraft. She accused Smith of following her on the highway one snowy evening after work and casting a spell on the heater of her car, causing it not to work."

Sounds like Bagnoli was the witch there. There was a case a few months back were a building full of immigrants from some African nation or other, all the same "tribe" if I may use that word, killed one of the residents because he was a witch.

what's that? beside a big antimateriel rifle, likely in .50cal.

I believe it's a Finnish Lahti L-39 20mm antitank rifle from WWII. In the US, it's a Class III registered destructive device. Hard to get ammo for. Practically impossible to get explosive penetrator rounds for. Many remaining examples have been rechambered to .50 BMG due to unavailability of 20mm ammunition, which, because it's larger than .50 inches, requires that EACH ROUND be registered as a destructive device. Costs $200 per round to register.

With conversion to .50 BMG, ammo is widely available, including APIT (Armor piercing incendiary tracer) that will penetrate anything in the US arsenal short of a main battle tank or a Stryker. No registration of ammunition is required.

It's an extremely heavy and unwieldly antimaterial rifle today, and is really only of value as a collector's item. Rifles firing the .50 BMG round of modern design and which are much smaller, lighter and more accurate, like the Barrett M-85 A2 and a large number of bolt-action rifles in .50 BMG are available on the market, and they are not Class III weapons and do not require any registration.

Would you, perchance, be an anti-abortionist? After all, so many of them seem to be gun nuts in favour of killing abortion doctors. You know, it's one awful thing gettin them children in the womb, or in pre-fertilization stage, but, by golly, once they crawl outta that pussy, why they're fair game fer napalm, agent orange, hootch burnings, and whatever else the US of A can throw at them defenseless babies, especially if they're slant eyes, gooks, or towel heads. But, afore theys borned, - no way, Hoze! That's the kinda stuff them anti-christers profilerate.

Yeah, I remember that - might have been Nigeria?

The witch should file a religious discrimination lawsuit in federal court...

Wow. Particularly bad attempt at trolling. Much greater subtlety is required, along with at least some rational nexus to the topic under discussion. Please reform your troll and try again.

She ought to file a charge with the EEOC first, or equivalent state fair employment practices agency.
