And as my Grandad used to say “To each, his own.” *shrug*
]]>I mean about the idiot making nets (apologies if this offends m8… but, seriously?!)
The reenactors and black powder shooters who cast their own bullets are just a crazy for doing it, as they will be if they do it for long.
Well… That is the best news I’ve heard this week! You definitely made my day m8! LMAO
]]>Lead crystal decanters have a nice little trick when used for alcoholic beverages – the lead leeches out. Lead is an all purpose death. One of the locals died a very painful death from lead poisoning as a result of making casting nets for fishing using lead weights. He cast the weights himself and used his teeth to cinch them on the netting more often than he used pliers. The reenactors and black powder shooters who cast their own bullets are just a crazy for doing it, as they will be if they do it for long.

Hey Bryan! Keep posting more of these! It will save me a lot of typing! 😈
]]>You always like to find a note, preferably handwritten, at suicides, so you have some idea what happened and why. It is also preferable that they don’t decide to involve other people in the process, especially strangers.
When people are committing crimes, they don’t think they’ll be caught, so the penalty is irrelevant. The only time it becomes germane is when you are arresting them and they realize that they are going to pay the price. This led to a lot of violence when arresting drug dealers, because they faced the same penalty as they would get for murder, so they would often resist violently. Oh, yes, those tougher penalties were really a joy for the cop shops because everyone wants to get shot up over a kilo of powder, right? 😈
There are no simple answers, no magic solutions, no quick fixes, and the people who think there are, are part of the problem.
