Oh, yeah! Oh, yeah! You’re going down!
Yes, it was an accident. But … damn!
The friend of Boston bombing suspect Tamerlan Tsarnaev who law enforcement forces said was shot and killed Wednesday after being questioned by the FBI about a brutal 2011 Boston-area homicide was a promising if somewhat forgettable mixed martial artist, fellow practitioners of the sport said.
Chris Palmquist, who operates the official registry for amateur and professional MMA fighters, said Ibragim Todashev, 27, fought his matches under the name Ibrahim Tody.
Now, why on Earth would you need a gun as an American citizen when you have these fellows looking out for you? LOL
A New Jersey police officer with a history of disciplinary issues reportedly firebombed the home of his supervisor, authorities said.

Yes, because whenever I get pissed off at a stewardess, the first thing I think of is threatening to blow up the plane.
I mean, seriously? Even if they weren’t a threat in that sense, what kind of mindset is that?
Police arrested two men Friday on suspicion of endangering an aircraft after a flight from Pakistan to the United Kingdom was diverted to Stansted Airport, outside of London.
A UK fighter jet was scrambled to escort Pakistan International Airlines Flight PK709 from Lahore as it was diverted from northwestern England’s Manchester Airport to Stansted.
Essex Police, who cover the area near Stansted airport, said officers had arrested the men and removed them from the plane, which had 297 passengers aboard.
Wajid Hasan, Pakistan’s High Commissioner to the United Kingdom, told CNN that the two passengers “got into an altercation with air stewardesses and threatened to blow up the plane.”
The air stewardesses contacted the pilot, who contacted UK air traffic control authorities, who then scrambled the fighter jets, he said.

It seems our illustrious Commander-in-Chief Barack Obama failed to salute the stationed Marine when boarding Marine One today. He did, however, re-emerge from the helicopter to shake the Marine’s hand.

Ah, New Jersey, where the booze is watered down, or worse.
At one bar, a mixture that included rubbing alcohol and caramel coloring was sold as scotch. In another, premium liquor bottles were refilled with water – and apparently not even clean water at that.

You know it’s over when they can demonize the Swedes.
The scene of Sweden’s worst riots in years, Husby is on the surface at least a typically neat suburb of colorful playgrounds, manicured parks and low rise apartment buildings.
Conversations with residents of this immigrant neighborhood soon bring tales of fruitless job hunts, police harassment, racial taunts and a feeling of living at the margins that are at odds with Sweden’s reputation for openness and tolerance.
