A Not So Great Escape. FAFO.

Alleged criminal attempting to avoid arrest. Failed. 

I'm guessing he's upset.

Because his team lost?

Uber: Teen accounts on Uber.

Teen accounts are the only authorized way for teens aged 13-17 to use the Uber platform with consent from their legal guardian. Guardians who add a teen account to their Family profile will be notified every time their teen requests a ride—and they’ll get real-time alerts plus live trip tracking so they can follow their teen’s ride in the app, from pickup to dropoff.

Before a teen can request their first ride, they must complete a safety onboarding process that teaches them about the safety features that are available to them on every ride.

Guardians will receive tips on how to prepare their teen for their first ride after the teen sets up their account. Guardians will also have access to live trip tracking and will receive status updates for every trip their teen requests. They’ll also be able to contact you directly during the trip.

To help you easily identify teen rides, your offer card will read “UberX Teen.” If you see this, it means the trip request is from an official teen account holder—so there should be no surprises at pickup.

Notifications, an onboarding process, real-time alerts and live trip tracking. 

Well, there it is. An un-hackable idea and program that can't be manipulated by bad actors. 

The driver kidnapper confirms possession of your teen in real-time. "Thank you for choosing Uber as the abductor of your child." 🤣

She's a shrieker!

Side effect from the vax and the boosters? Imagine being so insecure, unhinged, undisciplined and fragile. But she seems nice. Probably very fun and whimsical at parties.

In which U.S. city is a fight between two police officers likely to happen? Any guesses?

Time for another "Florida Man" story: Florida man charged with DUI after driving scooter into Walmart shelves.

NY Post: Florida man charged with DUI after driving scooter into Walmart shelves.

Aaron Gregory, 39, was charged with a DUI after running into shelves and nearly mowing down Walmart customers in Melbourne, Florida.

Don’t drink and scoot!

A Florida man was charged with DUI for allegedly zipping around on a motorized shopping cart while wasted in a Walmart, according to police.

Aaron Gregory, 39, swerved through the store in Melbourne, ran into shelves and nearly mowed down customers on Sunday, WFTL reported, citing cops.

When police were called to the store, Gregory was allegedly hauling an open bottle of Smirnoff vodka inside a backpack in the basket of the scooter.

He had “glassy eyes,” smelled like alcohol, and refused to take a breathalyzer test, police said.

The boozehound on wheels was arrested for DUI, disorderly intoxication and possession of an open container.

I dunno, I'm suspicious. This could be a case of mistaken identity and the scooter driver may indeed have been Paul Pelosi, Sr.

I wonder if Wikipedia will be editing this Beneath The Planet of The Apes entry because it's so offensive?

Wiki entry for Beneath the Planet of The Apes, as above, Archived here.

"Current" Wiki entry  Here.

Update: Well, that didn't take long: 

Sunday night, some channel was running a "Planet of The Apes" (original movies) binge. I wanted to look up someone in the cast and found that a character named "Negro" remained on Wiki. So I took a screen cap.

Just updated it, clicked on the "current" Wiki link and noticed it had changed. I archived it (the original entry, the first image on this post) thinking it would be changed...and here we are.

Update Update: Will a WikiEditor change the character name of "Fat Man" to "Glandular Problem/Slow Metabolism Person?"

Dining Out Mannequin Style.

I'd rather there be empty space, without any artificial props, surrounding me rather than mannequins in a restaurant. Not that I have a mannequin phobia, I don't. I just find this whole idea odd. Besides, they're obviously going to be an attraction for children who'll want to climb and paw all over them. Yeah, that'll help decrease the spreading of anything infectious. 

If this idea of mannequins extends to the bars...well...then...I might end up talking all night thinking mistakenly that someone is really interested in what I'm saying.

Remember when not that long ago nude restaurants were the trendy cosmopolitan adornment of public dining? Now we're eating while wearing a Hazmat suit seated next to mannequins. Good times...Good times...

NY Post: Restaurant will use mannequins to fill seats — and enforce social distancing.

This is surreally absurd not unironically...

Mask Shaming on the rise.

From, "why are you wearing a mask", to, "why aren't you wearing a mask".

Sweden: Land of Gang Violence.

Huh...must be all those vicious, angry and violent Jews and Christians who don't like the Swedes.

Remember when President Donald Trump said, in 2017, "look what's happening in Sweden." And Sweden and American Liberals said, "What?" and laughed at Trump?

It turns out President Trump was, and is, correct. Many of us already knew what the president said was accurate. The media decided reporting on this was - um - disrespectful to "some people" and avoided covering stories like this.

Gatestone Institute: "F***ing Swede."

In Gothenburg, a criminal gang of youths forced their victim to kiss the gang leader's feet, while they filmed him. After that, they stamped on his face until he passed out. — Expressen, October 1, 2019.

"It is a way to show your power. They want to dominate places. They do that by putting fear in other youths." — Thomas Petterson, analyst for the Gothenburg police, Expressen, August 31, 2019.

"Previously, gang rapes were virtually unknown in Sweden. But since the 1980s, they have steadily increased. Since 1995, they have quadrupled. In 1999, 35 gang rapes were recorded in Stockholm alone. Today, the media reports every week or every two weeks on such violent crimes." — Ingrid Björkman, Jan Elfverson, Jonathan Friedman and Åke Wedin, in the book, Exit Folkhemssverige.

The "humiliation robberies" have recently caused much consternation in Sweden. In Gothenburg, a criminal gang of youths forced their victim to kiss the gang leader's feet, while they filmed him. After that, they stomped on his face until he passed out.

In Stockholm, two 16-year-olds robbed, punched and kicked their 18-year old victim for hours. At the end of the ordeal, they took him behind a church where one of the perpetrators urinated on him while they called him names such as "fucking Swede". They then forced him to take his clothes of while laughing mockingly at him, the victim, only known as Liam, told Swedish TV. The two 16-year-olds filmed the incident and spread it on social media.

The parents of one of the perpetrators came to Sweden six years ago from an unspecified African country, according to Swedish TV, who interviewed them in February. The parents both work and said that their son lacks for nothing. The mother wore a hijab during the interview.

Although Swedish media rarely publish details of the ethnic origins of gang members, some media research has shown that gang members overwhelmingly are either foreign-born or children of immigrants. In 2017, the Swedish mainstream media outlet Expressen did a report about the 49 criminal networks in Stockholm. The report showed the networks consisted of between 500 and 700 gang members: 40.6% of the gang members that Expressen surveyed were foreign-born; 82.2% had two parents who were foreign-born. Their main country of origin was Iraq, followed by Bosnia, Lebanon, Somalia, Syria and Turkey.

"It is a way to show your power. They want to dominate places. They do that by putting fear in other youths," said Thomas Petterson, an analyst for the Gothenburg police, in August.

Exit Folkhemssverige also has a section about gang rape, which the authors present as a different kind of humiliation crime:
[.]
The usual pattern is the same as in the gang robberies. First, the ethnic relationship is the same: the victims are Swedish and among the perpetrators, the immigrants are greatly over-represented. For example, a study on sentencing practices shows that out of 24 perpetrators convicted of gang rape in 1989–91, 21 were foreign nationals. Whether the three Swedish citizens were ethnic Swedes or immigrants is not accounted for. Second, both perpetrators and victims are getting younger. In August 2001, for example, two 13-year-old girls in Malmö were raped by six immigrant boys aged 11 to 14. The case received widespread media attention, resulting in 17 rape reports against the same gang being filed with the police in the following days... The term 'whore' for Swedish women was launched by Muslim immigrant men from the Middle East. The concept has since been adopted by male immigrants from other cultures and now seems established..."

Welcome to Diversity. It strengthens and enriches the "social fabric."

All cultures are equal? Anyone trying to convince you of that is lying.
