LOL. I think he got beat because he got so close, you should never approach a cop in an even somewhat threatening manner. I've seen people flip off/curse out cops before, they don't get the snot beat out of them as long as they keep a safe distance (basically strike range).

As for Friends for Life, I couldn't tell ya. I honestly wouldn't believe it if it wasn't from the safety brief we were given. All I do know is that their biggest competitors in the town are the Hells Angels, and that if I ever encountered a member of the FFL, I would go out in a blaze of glory and respond with 'Yeah, well I'm a melon-fething Looney Toon!'

Okay, down our end we've got some bad racial stuff happening, with the aboriginals. bunch of them tried to rob me. Yeah, I do full contact martial arts and extreme fighting. Had witnesses in front of me. Sent one flying and the other two ran off, one got hit by a police car going past. Wakes up in the back of the car after I explained what happened. All three got prosecuted and jailed.

A few years ago I got a new downstairs neighbor. She had a boyfriend and the both of them fought so much they both had restraining orders against each other. That's one form of stupidity.
Next is he would always come over and she would let him in. Then they would scream at each other until the cops came to take him away.
Then one day he ran when the cops came for him. I was notified of this by hearing the cops say tiredly "Jesse, don't run... you know we'll catch you anyway." So he's known b the cops, and still runs. Another type of stupidity.
Then, as he runs from the cops, he decides a local Jr High school is the place to do it. The school becomes locked down because of him. The cops are chasing him through the halls, he's pounding on classroom doors screaming for a cel phone. More stupidity.
That's his third strike and he's going to prison.
So what does the girl do? She agrees to marry him.
So it's not just criminals that are way stupid.

Ahh, love.

There used to be a small bank/building society branch on the corner of the street where I grew up.

The local paper reported that apparently one night, these three black guys with shotguns, had broken into the apartment above the bank. Tied up the couple who lived there; Their plan being to wait until the bank opened the next day, then cut a hole through the floor of the apartment and drop into the bank behind the cashiers screen, and rob the bank.

It all sounds a bit oceans 11. It might have actually worked if they hadn't cut the hole in the wrong place and dropped down into the main reception... Which can be accessed much more easily by just using the front door. Obviously the cashier just set off the alarm and they all bolted out the front door. They were apprehended about 20 mins later. Found hiding in a wheelie bin.

It was pretty dumb. Not just because they cut the hole in the wrong place. But also because I've been behind the cashiers screen at that bank, it's easy. All you have to do is walk in and tell someone you want to open an account, and they invite you back there to a little office for a chat. Hardly Fort Knox.
