How Stupid Are They?

[E7]

Ex-spurts tell me my computers are not "secure" enough, but since I do no banking, doesn't bother me.

Same here. They can't hack if if it's NOT there to hack. Both financial institutions I deal with are right down the road from where I live, and I pass them almost every time I go anywhere. Easy to pop in as I drive by. One gives me free checks, so my cost to pay a bill (apart from the bill itself) is a stamp. Works for me.

20 million or more. Every officer there could be fired. How much will the engineer and crew get?

What would possess anybody to park a vehicle on a RR crossing? Who in the world doesn’t know that’s insane? Am I missing something ? Couldn’t the police simply move the vehicle several feet forward off the tracks to stop, or stop short of the tracks ? I mean WTF !?

What would possess anybody to park a vehicle on a RR crossing? Who in the world doesn’t know that’s insane? Am I missing something ? Couldn’t the police simply move the vehicle several feet forward off the tracks to stop, or stop short of the tracks ? I mean WTF !?

The incident took place the night of Sept. 16, when law enforcement officers were in pursuit of a suspect believed to be in a road rage incident involving a firearm in Fort Lupton.

Deputies from the Weld County Sheriff's Office were initially looking for the suspect’s truck when a Platteville Police Department officer found it and pulled over the driver, 20-year-old Yareni Rios-Gonzalez of Greeley.

Rios-Gonzalez pulled over just past a set of railroad tracks and the Platteville police officer stopped directly behind her, parking on the tracks themselves.

Fort Lupton officers then showed up to assist in the arrest and Rios-Gonzalez was placed in the Platteville Police vehicle on suspicion of felony menacing, FOX 31 reported.

She reportedly suffered nine broken ribs among other injuries to her hip and legs, according to FOX 31.

Platteville Police Chief Carl Dwyer told Fox News that the officer involved was placed on paid administrative leave pending the investigation

‘Milf Manor’ sends Twitter into frenzy as new reality show shocks: ‘TLC now stands for This Looks Cringey’

A new reality show has set social media ablaze as Americans appear fascinated with "hot moms" looking for love with men half their age.

The TLC Network announced the upcoming "Milf Manor" on Wednesday, a soon-to-debut reality program that is billed as eight attractive mothers embarking on a chance to "find love with men half their age," until they’re greeted with a "shocking twist."

TLC tweeted a promotional trailer that quickly went viral, and the preview for "Milf Manor" piled up over four million views in less than 24 hours on Twitter alone. The program quickly became a trending topic, with many recalling an old "30 Rock" joke about a fictional show called "Milf Island," a spoof on how ridiculous reality TV was beginning to appear over a decade ago.

But now the program is real, and "eight confident and strong-minded women leave home for the chance to find love at a paradise destination" starting next month.

Fleeing Florida motorcyclist flips off police before getting hit by truck
https://news.yahoo.com/fleeing-florida- ... 16557.html

A Florida motorcyclist is facing multiple charges after he blew through a red light while fleeing from local police and flipping them off seconds before getting T-boned by an oncoming truck.

"Here's a good way to get yourself killed," the Volusia County Sheriff's Office wrote in a Facebook post.

The three-minute video shared by police shows Deputy Bissonnete attempt to pull over a group of motorcyclists who were "popping wheelies" late on Friday, March 3.

One of the motorcyclists, Joshua Richardson, looked back and flipped police the bird before continuing to travel into the intersection – directly into the path of an oncoming truck.

Richardson miraculously survived the crash and briefly attempted to run on foot before he was apprehended by police.

On body camera footage released by the Volusia County Sheriff's Office, Richardson is seen writhing on the ground and telling deputies he is in a lot of pain.

"I'm hurt," Richardson is heard saying as he lies on the ground while deputies handcuff him.

"Idiot," one of the deputies said.

"I know," Richardson responded.

95-year-old woman Tasered by police in Australia dies
https://www.bbc.com/news/world-australia-65696475

A 95-year-old woman who was Tasered by police at an Australian care home, sparking a public outcry, has died.

Clare Nowland was critically injured after police responded to reports she was wandering around the home with a steak knife at about 04:00 last Wednesday.

New South Wales Police (NSW) said she died "surrounded by family and loved ones".

The officer who Tasered Mrs Nowland has been charged with assault.

The 33-year-old senior constable will face court in early July on charges of recklessly causing grievous bodily harm, assault occasioning actual bodily harm, and common assault.

Last week, police said she was "armed" with a steak knife. On Friday, they confirmed that she required a walking frame to move and the officer discharged his Taser after she began approaching "at a slow pace".
