Lick The Jack Boots: Reports and stories of outrageous control policy
Freeski:
It's truly amazing what they're doing to us - a total transfer of personal responsibility to The State. Just like that story about the American dude who got fined or at least hassled for trying to save an animal (maybe a whale?); they said he was obligated to call the authorities to help the animal. If you buy into that mentality, you'll gladly snitch on others for any of the thousands of laws and rules on the books. We are all in violation of something, according to them!
The socialist mindset is killing us.
>:(
Maybe the Internet was always intended to be the greatest snitch of all?

Thirty police officers, an arsenal of guns and a lion expert... all to catch two dangerous dogs

More than 30 police officers in riot gear surround a suburban house. Some are carrying rifles.
But this was not a deadly stand-off with an armed gang or a lone gunman.
Instead the huge police operation was aimed at two dogs. It went on for 30 hours and is estimated to have cost £30,000.
It only ended when a vet more used to tranquillising lions finally went into the house with two officers and subdued the dogs. They were later put down.
The animals had turned on a teenage friend of their owner while he was looking after them. Daniel Boardman, 19, was badly bitten on the legs, arms and bottom but somehow managed to dial 999.
Two armed officers arrived to find Mr Boardman being pulled in opposite directions by each dog. They broke down the door and shot the dogs with Taser stun guns to free him and drag him to safety.
But then, because of the danger they posed, the dogs were left in the boarded-up house in Rishton, Blackburn, for 24 hours with a guard outside.

* Council tells cafe to stop giving kids chalk
* Drawings included rainbows and stick figures
* Children cried when chalk taken away
TODDLERS drawing chalk rainbows and stick figures on a footpath outside an outer suburban cafe are creating a health hazard and breaking graffiti laws, a Melbourne council says.
Whitehorse Council has told White's Cafe owner Sally White to stop giving children chalk to draw on the 2m-wide footpath outside her cafe.
Ms White said a council officer told her there had been a resident complaint.
Asked to explain further, the council officer sent an email saying the children were breaching the graffiti act and Ms White needed to clean the drawings off the footpath.
"We looked up the graffiti act ... and graffiti is defined as 'anything that can't be removed with a dry cloth'," Ms White said.
She said while chalk on a blackboard could be removed with a dry cloth, chalk on a footpath might need a bit of water as well.

TSA Code Bravo
Code Bravo is the code phrase for a general security alert at airports. Unlike most of the codes on this list, the code is meant to cause alarm – but not through knowing what it means: when this alert is raised, all of the security agents will begin to yell “Code Bravo” in order to frighten the passengers – this is supposed to make it easier for the agents to locate the source of the problem without interference from the general public. For those of you who travel on ships from time to time, you may like to know that Code Bravo means “fire” and it is the most serious alert on a ship – if it burns, you either get off or burn with it. Ships also often use sound signals, such as 7 short and 1 long, meaning “man the lifeboats”.

Melbourne Airport flights resume after security breach at Qantas terminal
* From: NewsCore
* April 07, 2011 5:11PM
Melbourne Airport resumed flights this afternoon after a security breach forced the evacuation of thousands of people - but police have not yet found the man who sparked the commotion.
The man was spotted on closed circuit TV at Melbourne Airport entering the "sterile" area of the Qantas airline terminal via the exit doors from the baggage collection area on Thursday morning.
Qantas said in a statement that the man was seen entering through the out door but security staff watching monitors lost track of him once inside the terminal.
"An individual entered the secure area at the Qantas domestic terminal at Melbourne Airport just after 9:30am this morning without having been screened by security, passing through the exit doors in the arrivals hall," the statement said.
At least 5,000 commuters were cleared out of the terminal and off planes to be re-screened by security, Sky News Australia reported.
