In November, Britain’s Home Office announced that it agreed to a settlement to a lawsuit that had been created by 197 Heroin-addicted prisoners that it was “assault” and violation of European Convention on Human Rights for them to have been denied drugs almost immediately after they were arrested. The government has agreed to pay each of the prisoners the equivalent of about $7000.
Strange Man in the street
Get this story, about a man who claimed to be carrying a bomb-
A recent stand-off between a man and the police ended peacefully in the streets of Phoenix.
The Phoenix Police received a call at about 3:50 p.m. one day, from a driver who said he saw a man acting strangely and walking in and out of traffic along Central Avenue in downtown Phoenix. I live in a big city too, I’m sure police gets calls like this often enough. When the police arrived to check out the complaint they noticed a man was holding a yellow blanket to conceal his hands and upper chest and he was saying that he had a bomb.The Police shut down the street and evacuated a Burger King and Circle K.
The officers asked the man to put down the blanket and surrender for more than an hour, but when he refused, police fired several stun bag rounds and concussion grenades, and sicked a police dog on the man. Ow!
After the police action, officers ran up to the man, and he threw what he had been concealing at them. It turned out to be a block of wood. It was unclear why the man was acting in such an odd way. He might have been mentally unstable or on drugs.
The man faces charges of aggravated assault and disorderly conduct. He was taken to a local hospital with a minor bite on one of his arms. I bet that ended up being an interesting story for the ER staff to talk about.
Man Pees in bottle – Disgusting!
Did you hear the story about the man who was jailed for urinating in a soda that sickened a convenience store customer could be in trouble again, this time because he can’t produce the bodily fluid. Right.
The accused urinator, Anthony Mesa, 22, was sentenced to six months in jail for urinating in the bottle of Mountain Dew and must also periodically take a urine drug test.
Unfortunately, he failed to take a court-ordered test Sept. 19, the Orlando Sentinel reported Thursday.
He said he has a condition called shy bladder that affects his ability to urinate in public and therefore to take the drug test. He has offered to take the test another way, including with a blood sample. I guess he’s trying?
Mesa, a former convenience store clerk in Deltona, pleaded no contest last year to tampering with a consumer product. A construction worker who purchased the soda he urinated in began vomiting after drinking it. Well I guess so if someone peed in it.
Gross!
