Good thing that's on tape!  The judge would never believe that guy.  "honest sir, I know we were having problems, but one minute she's yelling at me and the next minute a tiger is dragging her away".

That dude just needs to bail on that relationship now because you know with her feminine logic she will blame him for a Tiger mauling for the rest of his life.

Speaking of the CIA.......

There I was - RFO (relief pilot for 2-man crew) flying MD-11 from Taipei to Anchorage.  I've since learned the CIA presence in Taiwan is significant - more on that later.  Deadheaded into TPE about 24 hours before departure, arriving about 19:00L and basically crashed.  I had enough fun on the trip up to that point and was ready for some rest.  Met up the the CA and FO at hotel pickup time the next night and headed to the AP for the flight. 

They had pushed it up the night before at a local watering hole called Canegies.  Wed night, ladies night.  In the car, they were exchanging recaps of the night and were also apologetic to me for not contacting me prior to heading out.  I was cool with that since I was dragging, so no biggie.  I just stayed in listening mode.  The left seater was an old school dog and found his standard-one-each Filipino LBFM for the evening.  The FO had ended up with an American chick who he later discovered was CIA.  I'm pretty sure our driver didn't speak English since I saw absolutely no reaction to some of the rather graphic stories being shared.  They both wrapped up the stories detailing the difficulties of getting their companions to leave the next morning.  The LBFM wanting to clean the bathroom and organize toiletries and the American wanting to lounge around over coffee and room service.  A good time was had by all in the end.

So, a few hours into the flight.  The CA is in the bunk and the FO and I are just chilling somewhere over the Pacific.  I had a thought as I was listening to their stories that I couldn't keep from bringing up at that point.  "Hey, I'm not judging or anything.  I'm a huge fan of strange pu$$y.  But do you think stepping out on your old lady with a chick from the CIA was the best move?  I mean, if she turns out to be a Glenn Close/Fatal Attraction type, she's got some resources to possibly track your ass down."

My man was visibly shaken for a minute and then said quietly - "You know, that's a valid point.  Let's hope it doesn't come to that." 

I didn't mean to freak him out, but i always think of him any time I'm Taipei.  Actually heading there on my next trip.  Every round-eye I see there now is a potential spy. 😁

I bet every single one of them thought they’d be in some European posting out of movie, but instead they all get assigned a complete shithole surrounded by a bunch of dudes. Suckers!

Not exactly.  His wife survived the attack.  

The woman that ran up to help out didn't survive.

The woman that ran up to help was her mother...

"The incident is real, but it is not new. The tiger attack happened in 2016, at China’s Badaling Wildlife World. The incident occurred at a tiger safari park where visitors can drive through and view various exotic animals in a more natural setting. The 32-year-old woman, identified only by her surname, Zhao, reportedly got out of her car after an argument with her husband. Security camera footage captured the moment a tiger pounced on her, dragging her away from the vehicle.

In the video, we can see that Zhao steps out of the right side of the car, walks around the front of the car, and opens the left-side door. Then, startled, she looks behind her and within seconds, a huge tiger pounces on her, dragging her out of view of the camera. A man jumps out of the car, looks confused and tries to run after the woman. A woman – the woman’s mother jumps out of the rear seat and runs after the tiger and her daughter.

We do not know exactly what happened afterward, but Zhao escaped (maybe because her mother distracted the tiger). Zhao’s 57-year-old mother, surnamed Li , however was attacked by another tiger when she was outside and seriously injured. We can see park rangers arriving at the scene in the video immediately aftewards, but Li died from her injuries before medical help could be provided."

This is actually the perfect encapsulation of why the social justice warrior/woke nonsense is so fucking dangerous. Incidentally, this is also the point that well meaning liberals completely miss when they respond with "yeah that's obviously crazy. Why do you care so much?"

 

When you say crazy things for long enough, crazy people will start to believe them. In this case the person was only crazy enough to petition a court. But we've already seen several instances of crazy people who are willing to grab a gun.

 

When you stray from the truth, eventually everything will fall apart. Yes, that includes Donald Trump denying his obvious and overwhelming loss in the election. January 6th was not an insurrection anymore than the BLM riots were a civil war. But the more we keep lying about racism, trans genocide, patriarchal sexism, and the alleged death of democracy, the more crazy people we are going to inspire to do horrible things. And as we've all heard from the military, when one guy shits his pants, we all wear diapers.

A HR guy once told me, if modern companies had no women in their ranks the HR dept they would not have a job. Seeing that new college graduates who put their preferred pronoun on their resumes are going straight into the G file.

Finally.  Lol

So a few weeks ago I'm in SFO and saw that the local Whole Foods carries a beer I like.  I head over, load up, and as I'm heading towards the checkout lanes, some scruffy looking dude is opening a fridge case with sandwiches.  A security guard, wearing a vest, real gun and ammo, tazer, cuffs, etc., quick strides towards the dude, shouts, and the dude tries to run for it as the guard closed the gap.  He whips out his baton and whacks the dude across his back, hard!  He gets ready for another whack when the dude drops the goods and scampers for the exit.  Warnings were shouted.

I was a bit surprised, not by what I saw, but where I saw it.  Yes, this was in San Fran.

I was in CA the last couple weeks and the whole "armed guards in grocery stores" thing is wild.
