Brickbat: I Fart in Your General Direction

Police in Vienna, Austria, fined a man €500 (about $564) for releasing "a massive intestinal wind in the immediate vicinity of the officers." Police say the man "had already behaved in a provocative and uncooperative manner" when they approached him as he sat on a park bench and tried to talk to him.

Too many sausages and beer do the same to me.

Onions and hummus have that effect on me too. Also, be sure to soak your black beans for at least 24 hours or else your large intestines will turn into a turd ramjet.

You know who else behaved in a provocative manner?

Jessica Rabbit?

Failed painters turned national leaders in 1938?

Rearmament was openly announced in 1935 and the remilitarization of the Rheinland was 1936. Both were treaty violations.

On a related note, a suspect is caught after breaking wind at an inopportune time.

Is there someone else up there we can talk to?

OT, the networks have been conspicuously quiet on this story:

"Protesters explain why they tore down statues at State Capitol
...
Madison police say a group of about 200 to 300 people took control of a towing vehicle and tore down the Forward and Hans Christian Heg statues at the State Capitol overnight.
...
Heg was a Norwegian immigrant, activist and abolitionist who led an anti-slave catcher militia helping slaves escape before serving as a Colonel for the Union army in the Civil War. He was killed in the Battle of Chickmauga in north Georgia in 1863."

Who's next, Abe Lincoln? Maybe, Frederick Douglas?{spelling?}

I originally saw the story this am on SkyNews Australia. Here it seems ti be "local news".

But still a white male. So, evil.

a group of about 200 to 300 people took control of a towing vehicle

IOW, a rioting mob stole it?

Protesters say they took the statue down because they don’t feel the state is moving forward. “We’re not moving forward, we’re moving backwards,” said Ebony Anderson-Carter. “This (statue) doesn’t need to be here until we’re ready to move forward.”

A lotta guys might say "we" are indeed moving backwards.

'Protesters' also damaged civil war monuments in Massachusetts. (Which side were they on, again?) Including one dedicated to black soldiers.

You know, it takes less than half a second to Google "Frederick Douglass" and get it right. Google is even smart enough that it will correct your spelling for you.

[Compelled Speechless]

Fredrick Douglass is thought highly of by the patriarchy, therefore a part of the patriarchy, therefore all memory of him must be wiped in order to thoroughly and definitively kill the patriarchy.

The patriarchy can then be replaced by an enormous central government that is responsible for providing you with shelter, clothing and food as well as your mental and physical safety. It will definitely NOT be a patriarchy though.

[mad.casual]

The new not-Patriarchy will be more inclusive, allowing men to join as women and women to join as men. Issues surrounding women who can/did give birth will still be addressed appropriately, trust the men who force you to call them women and the women who force you to call them men by law to look after your cis-het female issues for you. They have yours and everyone else's interests at heart equally to be sure.

[Formerly Cynical Asshole]

I don't think any of these pinheads even care whose statue they're tearing down or why. They really just want to break shit, they don't even care what or why anymore.

[creech]

"Fix bayonets!" All you Civil War re-enactors, looks like there's work to be done.

[mad.casual]

All I hear is that a white supremacist perpetrated a tear gas attack and the Austrian government let him get away with it.

[Bobster0]

Maybe Frederick Douglass has to be removed from history because he was a successful black man in a time of real racism? He is throwing his success in the face of the rioters and they don't like it!
