EAU CLAIRE, Wis. Attempts to do a movie stunt landed one man in the hospital with burned genitals and another facing criminal charges. The men were trying to do a stunt from one of the "Jackass" movies, in which a character lights his genitals on fire. "I saw this cool movie, where a guy sets his wang on fire. Let's try it!"
Jared W. Anderson, 20, suffered serious burns to his hands and genitals, according to the criminal complaint. Randell D. Peterson, 43, who sprayed lighter fluid on Anderson and lit him on fire, was charged with felony battery and first-degree reckless endangerment Tuesday in Eau Claire County Court. Peterson? His cousin, Kermit Dickson, is also implicated.
Witnesses told police that Anderson, who was drunk, volunteered to do the stunt Sunday after watching the movie, the complaint said. Drunk? Imagine that.
According to the complaint:
Anderson pulled down his pants and let Peterson spray him with lighter fluid. When the fire didn't catch, Peterson sprayed more lighter fluid on Anderson, splashing some on his clothing. He tried again to light the fire, catching Anderson's genitals, hands and clothes. Direct removal from the gene pool.
Anderson ran into the bathroom, jumped into the tub and put the flames out. Other guests took him to Luther Hospital, and eventually he was treated at the Regions Hospital Burn Unit in St. Paul, Minn., for second-degree burns. Anderson told police who were called to the hospital that he didn't want anyone to get in trouble because of the stunt.
Peterson was freed on a $2,000 signature bond. He has a hearing scheduled April 16. If convicted, he faces up to 10 years in prison.

The comparison with an Aardman animation, like "Creature Comforts", was unavoidable.
The best solution for taggers I've heard of was a businessman who installed a few pressure paint nozzles, and a discreet camera.
When the taggers came up to the wall, the security guy would 'spot', and one of his employees would turn one of several valves on the other side of the wall. If he was standing directly in front of the nozzle, he would get painted bright green.
The employees loved it, and kept the videos of their best 'hits'.
A Pakistani convicted of robbery had his right hand amputated in a public square in compliance with Islamic law on Wednesday, the Saudi Interior Ministry said in a statement. Mohammed Haji Ghoulam had been convicted of theft in the holy city of Medina, said the statement, which did not disclose what he stole. His right hand was amputated at the wrist, the statement added.

Just think, he gets to eat with the same hand he wipes his bum with. I may chuckle all day about that.

»Six British military policemen died at the hands of an Iraqi mob in Majar al-Kabir because nearby reinforcements decided it was too dangerous to rescue them
Now that's outrageous. And sad.

And when the Islamists destroy everything in the Saudi Arabia collection, who will they blame?
Most medieval and Renaissance art is based on Christian religious themes. Therefore it is anathema to Islamists, even more so than art for art's sake.
Two Muslim women who were expelled from a public swimming pool because of their clothing were not victims of discrimination, a Swedish court ruled Wednesday. The women, who wore headscarves, sweat pants and long-sleeved T-shirts, accompanied their children to the pool in Goteborg on two separate occasions in April 2004, but were asked to leave after refusing to change clothes.
Lifeguards said their clothes would pose a safety risk in case they needed to jump into the water to help their children, court documents showed. Pool regulations stated that all parents accompanying their children to the pool must be ready to assist them in an emergency.
Sweden's Ombudsman against Ethnic Discrimination sued the city of Goteborg, saying that other people with full clothing were not asked to leave the pool, and said the women had been singled out because of their religion.

A passable swimmer in western full clothes can still swim short distances in an emergency specially if he has no shoes. Now let's have this ombusman against ethnic discriminations show us he can swim in a burkha. No lifesavers around of course.

Icerigger, that story enrages me.
What the phalk is wrong with Europeans ?
Cowards, all. Stand up, men of Europe. Take back your countries, take back your societies, protect your mothers and sisters against the slime of Islime.

Icerigger, I note that the Mufti in Coppenhagen said that women who did not wear the veil were asking for it.
Similar to Mufti of Australia Sheik Taj el-Din al-Hilali who gave a sermon at Lakemba mosque blaming non-Muslim women for rape, and saying if they didn't wear the hijab then men shouldn't be blamed for raping her.
Also he said women should be imprisoned for rape.
But his worst comments have been sanitised in Australian media down to "He caused controversy when he likened women to uncovered meat" - taking all the religion out of it and all the reference to blaming the victim for rape.
In its third and final meeting on the matter, the Knesset House Committee on Wednesday failed to pass a motion to impeach President Moshe Katsav. Seven MKs voted in favor of impeachment, four voted against and two abstained. Even before the vote took place, however, the motion was destined to fail because at least 19 of the 25 committee members would have needed to vote in order for it to pass.

The local Muslim leaders would flip out if he asked for *anonymous* Muslims to come on his show to condemn terrorism. They would seriously freak out, because most of their strength comes from pretending that the entire community is monolithic in their beliefs.
That might even be a national draw. If things got too hot in the studio, he could go somewhere else for "secret interviews". It would even have a comic element, using voice distortion equipment.
A multi-volume chronology and reference guide set detailing three years of the Mexican Drug War between 2010 and 2012.
Rantburg.com and borderlandbeat.com correspondent and author Chris Covert presents his first non-fiction work detailing
the drug and gang related violence in Mexico.
Chris gives us Mexican press dispatches of drug and gang war violence
over three years, presented in a multi volume set intended to chronicle the death, violence and mayhem which has
dominated Mexico for six years.
Rantburg was assembled from recycled algorithms in the United States of America. No
trees were destroyed in the production of this weblog. We did hurt some, though. Sorry.
