Tucson, Arizona, trailer fire 'caused by spider burning'

A blowtorch used to burn spider webs could be the cause of a fire at a mobile home in Tucson, Arizona, officials say.

Fire crews sent to the scene on Sunday stopped the fire from spreading.

An elderly woman was carried out of the home by her son and neighbours, but suffered only minor injuries.

The cause of the fire is being investigated. But firefighters say they suspect a propane torch was used to burn spiders from under the trailer.

Road rage driver forgets to put handbrake on and runs HIMSELF over with his own car
By Christopher Harris for news.com.au

AN embarrassing video has emerged in Australia showing an attempted road rage gone wrong as a driver knocks himself over with his OWN car.

In the clip, a Honda can be seen stopped at an intersection, blocking the car behind, before the driver honks their horn impatiently in Malabar, New South Wales.

The driver in front then opens his door and gets out of the car to confront the other driver - but doesn’t get far with the handbrake off.

It appears he forgot one crucial step - putting his car in park as his vehicle rolls back.

As he begins to walk towards the car who honked their horn at him, he is hit by his driver's side door knocking him to the ground.

The car continues down the hill before crashing into the car behind him.

The car then knocks him over as he attempts to hold on after he forgets to put it in park.

The man is dramatically knocked to the road with his feet up in the air before he manages gets back up.

The driver continued to argue with the people in the car behind him.

“You caused that,” he told the couple in the car behind him.

“Mate, put it in park, it's still in reverse,” the second driver yells at him.

The video was also captioned, saying that he wouldn’t go around the car because there were double white lines located on the road and it would have been illegal to cross them.

The video, which was uploaded to Facebook page Dashcam Owners Australia, has been viewed more than 389,000 times since it was shared nine hours ago.

Bills fan sets himself on fire after jumping onto burning table

The rowdiest of Buffalo Bills fans have proudly taken on the moniker “Bills Mafia” due to their often outrageous tailgating antics. Well, on Sunday, one member of the Bills Mafia somehow blazed a new trail when it comes to somehow topping all the previous and patented skullduggery.

Watch as an unidentified Bills fan leaps into a back-flop onto a table that for some reason was set ablaze. Shockingly (?), the man’s jersey caught fire.

Wow. Who woulda thunk it that jumping onto a burning table would somehow end with a “Stop, Drop & Roll” routine? Craziness.

It warrants noting that this is the second time already this season that an NFL fan of questionable decision-making abilities somehow has started himself on fire.

But back to Sunday in Orchard Park. As noted by Deadspin, the Buffalo News summarized fan antics before, during and after the Bills’ 30-27 victory over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers at New Era Field with an article headlined “Another typical Bills game day in Orchard Park with crashes, counterfeiters, fires.”

There you go.

Men photographed in crocodile trap dubbed 'idiots of the century'

A group of men photographed swimming into a baited croc trap near the scene of a fatal attack in Queensland appear to be vying for the “idiots of the century award”, a local mayor has said.

Photos of the men swimming around and even climbing into the trap at the Port Douglas Marina have surfaced online, leaving the mayor of Douglas Shire, Julia Leu, stunned.

“It appears they’ve ... swum under a sign that says it’s illegal to tamper with this trap and put themselves literally where we put the bait,” he told reporters. “I’ve seen some pretty ridiculous things in my time as environment minister, particularly when it comes to crocodiles, but this one takes the cake.”

Miles said it was dumb but not illegal to swim around croc traps.

“You can’t make everything that’s stupid illegal,” he said.

I've always thought they should stop putting so many safety labels on shit. This would help the gene pool as society seems to be breeding the brains out of our youth, and letting the not so bright off themselves would actually be a public service.

Thug Robs Hotdog Stand At Gunpoint, Accidentally Shoots His Own Genitals
by Mark Wilson

A thug showed that he’s not the sharpest tool in the shed on Tuesday when he tried to rob a Chicago hot dog stand, and failed miserably.

Breitbart reported that the robber accidentally shot himself in the penis as he tried to flee the scene of the crime just after 6am. The Chicago Tribune stated that suspect Terrion Pouncy, 19, was “wearing a dark hooded sweatshirt” and he had a “dark scarf concealing his face.”

According to the police report, Pouncy pulled a small handgun and demanded money from two men working the register. When one of the men handed him money, Pouncy allegedly responded by reaching into the man’s pocket and taking his personal cell phone and wallet as well.

When the robber turned to make his getaway and while “shifting the gun in his waistband… he apparently pulled the trigger, firing a bullet that struck him in the penis.” He also suffered a bullet wound to the thigh.

One of the hot dog vendors wrestled Pouncy after the gun went off, but the thug managed to get away. However, he was quickly forced to call police himself to report that he had been self-shot. Officers received a 911 call on the hotdog stand robbery at “about the same time.”

The cops who found Pouncy said he was in a pair of “blood-stained boxers” that matched the boxers seen on surveillance video from the hotdog stand. Officers also found items stolen from the stand employees and a handgun.

Pouncy is being held without bail and is still hospitalized. He has been charged with two counts of armed robbery with a firearm.

After Night of Drinking, F.B.I. Supervisor Wakes to Find a Woman Stole His Gun
By ADAM GOLDMAN and MATT APUZZO

An F.B.I. counterterrorism supervisor is under internal investigation after a woman stole his gun following a night of heavy drinking in a North Carolina hotel, according to documents and government officials.

In July, Robert Manson, a unit chief in the F.B.I.’s international terrorism section, had his Glock .40-caliber handgun, a $6,000 Rolex watch and $60 in cash stolen from his room at the Westin hotel in Charlotte, N.C., according to a police report.

The episode is an embarrassing mishap for the F.B.I. As a unit chief assigned to the bureau’s headquarters, Mr. Manson oversees all terrorism investigations in the Midwest and the Carolinas. An F.B.I. spokesman, Michael P. Kortan, said the incident was the subject of an internal investigation and declined to give additional comment.

Mr. Manson and other senior agents were in Charlotte for training, according to a law enforcement official familiar with the episode. The agents later told the police that they had been drinking with women who said they were exotic dancers, according to a second person who was briefed on the investigation but, like the first, was not authorized to discuss it publicly.

“Investigators determined that the victim, Robert Manson, met a woman in the hotel bar the prior night and took her back to his hotel room,” Robert Tufano, a spokesman for the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department, said in a statement.

‘Drunk’ OJ Simpson kicked out of Las Vegas hotel
By Joshua Rhett Miller
November 9, 2017

The Juice got loose at a Las Vegas hotel — getting booted after a scuffle at the bar late Wednesday, according to a report.

TMZ reports that O.J. Simpson got kicked out of the Cosmopolitan Hotel for good after allegedly getting boozed up and becoming unruly.

Staffers at the hotel told the website Simpson — who has been hitting up bars since his release from prison last month after serving nine years — broke glasses at the Clique bar inside the luxury hotel and casino beginning at about midnight.

Simpson, 70, got angry with the workers, prompting security guards to respond and remove him from the hotel. Simpson was cordial to security, but he has since been permanently banned from the hotel, sources told TMZ.

A police dispatcher referred to Simpson by name — saying “Orenthal is here” — in an audio recording obtained by TMZ. The dispatcher apparently had thought Simpson was at a pizza shop inside the hotel, according to the tape.

“He’s actually sitting inside the bar, he was asking about the pizza shop,” the dispatcher said.

A witness, meanwhile, spotted Simpson inside the hotel shortly after midnight.

This is what our society has come to - a pig is now needed for "emotional support."

Woman kicked off flight after emotional support PIG became rowdy
By Danny Collins

A PLANE passenger was booted off a flight because her rowdy emotional support PIG caused mayhem on board.

The woman was given her marching orders after the havoc-wreaking hog began walking up and down the aisles.

Even attempts to strap the farmyard animal to an arm rest failed.

One shocked onlooker said the brown swine looked around five stone as it was tossed over the unidentified woman's shoulder and marched off.

Others initially thought it was a duffel bag - but were given the shock of their lives when it began oinking on board the US Airways flight out of Connecticut.

University professor Jonathan Skolnik told ABC: "It turns out it wasn’t a duffel bag. We could smell it and it was a pig on a leash.

"She tethered it to the arm rest next to me and started to deal with her stuff, but the pig was walking back and forth.

"I was terrified, because I was thinking I’m gonna be on the plane with the pig."

Staff were eventually forced to order the pig off the flight when it became too disruptive.

American Airlines, the parent company of US Airways, confirmed it was taken on board as an emotional support animal.
