Insanity in the news
The world becomes more bizarre by the day.
A man was arrested in Denver, US, and held on two counts of harassment for telling two women they were “extremely beautiful”.
NPR reports that the most popular guitar tutor on YouTube was accused of copyright infringement for showing his pupils how to play a Rolling Stones song on the guitar. Why not kill off a future source of income, RIAA? Makes perfect sense to them somehow, I suppose.
Finally, on a related note (har har), James Hetfield of Metallica was apparently detained at Luton Airport, allegedly because of his “Taliban-like beard”.
Insanity.

There must be something they are not telling us about the guy that was arrested for telling the women they were beautiful, surely!
I find the oddest comments in the news often to be the eyewitness reports.
Shocking to hear what people come up with sometimes!
Recently a gunman shot three people in the streets in Melbourne, killing one of them. I read two different witness reports describing the gunman as a gentleman… ‘Then the gentleman turned the gun on his girlfriend…’
Maybe I have misunderstood the meaning of the word??

OMG Imagine how James Hetfield felt in that moment, giving his passport proudly to the officer, feeling confident that everybody should know him at least by name and worse than that, how the security officer felt when she/he realized. LOL

I have to agree with lijunlaopo. It can’t just be what he said.If that were true I could get dudes arrested for the far worse things they say to me every day.
So he must have been being menacing in some way.I would never call the cops because some guy said I was cute.
Will we ever know the truth? The mystery!

mccormicky, I’d love to know if there’s more to that story. I agree it’s strange as it stands, but a lot of weird things go down these days…

I have to agree, items in the news is becoming pretty weird.
But then again, some people also do strange stuff. Just last week I turned on the news, heard about the baby that was put in the microwave, and three other odd stories, I have chosen to forget. What’s this world coming to?
Your right, Baxter, it’s bizarre!

Haha, these are great. I think the harassment one was the best.
