I think I just witnessed the begining of a drug bust in my hometown.
My mom, a guy from my confirmation class, and I stopped at an intersection near a two storey plaster (I think) building, and there was an unmarked dark green van in front. For some reason, I instinctively turned my head towards it and saw some guys in dark, unmarked SWAT-like uniforms. My first thought was 'Bomb squad', then some sort of grenade went off. I think it was a tear gas grenade, because I saw no black smoke, no fire, and I wasn't affected by an after-image of the blast, but my mom says she saw some 'phosphorescent' blast in there, so I dunno what it was. Anyway, then all the guys started yelling 'Go, go go!' and rushing into the building, just like in the movies, tv, and video games. Then my mom drove off, which was a good idea, just in case things got ugly. I swear this is all true, and I'll report back if there's anything about it on the news tommorow night.

"conformation class" amirite ;D

It's always fun to witness raids. There's gang vs police wars quite often in Glasgow, and I have found myself uncomfortably close to them in the past.

'"conformation class" amirite ;D' Nah, they won't force me to join the congregation. Good thing, too, because the power clique is trying to get rid of the minister.
'I have found myself uncomfortably close to them in the past.' How close?

Sitting at a bus stop on the other side of the street from a popular night club at around 11pm, I saw 2 early twenty-year olds verbally threaten the bouncer when he didn't let them in for being noticably high or something. Thought nothing of it. Five minutes later they came back with about 20 others and started kicking the utter shit out of the bouncers. Someone called the police, and there were 2 vans on the scene within minutes. Normally at this stage, the gangs run, but these guys were insane. Trying to stab a police officer with a glass bottle is not a good idea. The fight poured out onto the road, and I decided it might be best at that stage to run like fuck.

17 arrests that night. 'Twas in the paper.

Yea, it was a good thing your mom sped away from the scene. If your mom would have stayed, and if one of the perps got somehow past the cops, he might have ran to your car, and then you and your mom could have become victims of a carjacking or worse. Desperate criminals will do anything to get away from the law, remember that.

Yesterday, in the field just over the road from my house, a sheep fell over.

He saw a police helicopter come to the sheeps aid but Urby just looked up and gave them the finger. Boo yeah.

Did the sheep died?
Commented 15 years ago2009-06-03 08:23:29 UTC Comment #60325
I've been in that situation as well Urby. In fact, once a cow fell over. If it happens again then remember - Duck and Cover!

Isnt it true, when a sheep fells over on his back. He cant get up by himself and dies? I once rescued a sheep when I was 5 years old, I tought I did the right thing. The sheep didnt even said thanks :*(

Yeah, they have no marriage rituals. And Ninetrine, you got a problem with high school students living at home with their parents?

It might be that he has a problem with the american spelling.

Perhaps.

Also, JeffMOD's mom is a guy from his confirmation class. That's different.

The Australian spelling of "mom" is "mum". Though I think I tend to write mom anyway.

"Its always a dark green van. -___-"

Note to self: use dark BLUE van to increase odds of success.
