Yes there are fake stories but there are also real stories as well.

She might pretend **** you.
I suppose that'd be good enough for you.

The ones you referenced (kidnapping and other crimes) were fake as **** though. You've never heard of media hype?

There have always been clowns, it just happened to be a slow news day.

Only one of the kidnapping ones was fake. The other one was real also the reason that one guy in a clown suit got shot. It is more than just media hype. There was a clown holding a rifle at this one overpass near where I live.

Go ahead and tempt fate. Don a clown suit and see how long you survive.

I hunt them in the beer section at Farm Fresh. No cops yet, but I did stab a shifty stockboy in the neck.

Only the brave go on cop hunts, like that guy that was part of the Dallas shooting.

Isn't this such a clear and concise article?

Quote:

The F.B.I. is investigating whether the crash of a small plane in East Hartford, Conn., that killed a passenger on Tuesday was intentional, according to four federal law enforcement officials.

The pilot, who survived the crash, told investigators that it was not an accident. The officials spoke on the condition of anonymity because the investigation was continuing.

Officials identified the passenger as Feras M. Freitekh, 28. Public records show he had lived in Orland Hills, Ill., about 35 miles southwest of Chicago. Federal Aviation Administration records show he was issued a private pilot certificate on May 29, 2015, and was certified to fly a single-engine plane.

The F.A.A. said the Piper PA 34 crashed around 3:40 p.m. on Main Street as it was on a final approach to Hartford-Brainard Airport in Hartford. Mayor Marcia Leclerc of East Hartford said the plane took off from a flight school at the airport.

The police chief of East Hartford, Scott M. Sansom, said during a news conference that the police sought the help of the Federal Bureau of Investigation because the plane went down near a Pratt & Whitney factory on Main Street, which he described as being “critical infrastructure.”


The company, which has its headquarters in East Hartford, is a global manufacturer of jet engines for commercial, military and general aviation aircraft.

Ray Hernandez, a spokesman for the company, said in an email on Tuesday that the company was aware of the crash and that it did “not appear at this time that any Pratt & Whitney employees or contractors were involved.”

The mayor said the pilot, who was interviewed by detectives, was taken to Bridgeport Hospital with serious burns.

Two people who were in a minivan near the crash had minor injuries and were taken to a hospital, the police chief said.

Officials from the Federal Aviation Administration were at the site on Tuesday, and members of the National Transportation Safety Board were expected to arrive on Wednesday morning, he added.

Apparently the pilot is from Jordan... so I guess we finally drove gayboy over the edge. Whatever the case I imagine Trump's gonna be fun for a while.

Plankton 10-12-2016 09:50 AM

I know a lot of people from Orland Hills. Never met that dude though.

'grats to Ched, must feel amazing clearing your name, now hopefully he can rebuild his life and tarnished reputation. #NotGuilty :cool:

Have you been following the Derrick Rose case? He's a professional basketball player who is dealing with a similar scenario. It's not 100% clear that he's innocent, but it's certainly starting to look that way and the case almost got thrown out recently. Shame that stuff like this happens just because somebody is looking to make a name for themselves.

Has he been convicted? Not familiar with this.

It's great seeing all the bellends on Twitter who were so matter of fact that he was 'guilty in a court of law and that's that!' suddenly saying the jury must have got this one wrong and he's still a rapist.

That's the issue with modern society. We're obsessed with victims. So much so that we stand for the victim before we realize that the victim is noting more than a faker.

Well... I think that's a stretch. There's still an issue with the percentage of accused rapists who are actually convicted. I think it stems from the inability victims have to discuss the matter, and the fact that it can take years before they're comfortable enough to discuss it. I don't have any idea how that could be fixed, but ideally it would be great if it became something that could be more easily reported so that the investigations could begin much earlier.

I'm not saying that rape doesn't happen or saying that all people accused of it aren't guilty. But way too many cases are being reported where the girl lies about it and ruins someone's life in the process.
