Doggedly searching for the crux of the biscuit.
My name is Rudolph Claude Smith and I can't stop thinking about ninjas.
TrackBackPolice in Charleston County say a naked man exposed himself to his 66-year-old neighbor, then later attacked officers with nunchucks. Police say 49-year-old Rudolph Claude Smith went next door to his neighbor's apartment to borrow some oil for a workout. While he was in the woman's home, police say Smith took off his clothes and asked the woman to "oil him up."
According to a police report, Smith attacked two officers with nunchucks when they came to his home to make an arrest. They also say the oil made it difficult for them to get a good grip on him. [...] During a bond hearing on Wednesday, Smith's family members said he is mentally ill. Smith told the judge that he didn't need to burglarize anyone because he "owns a multi-million dollar corporation unbeknownst to the people of Charleston."
Apos mate
This 'community caring' of the mentally ill is a great strategy, eh?
Today in Aus, a man was found not guilty of murder because he was insane (he killed his landlady so she could 'go to God".
Apparently he'd been ill for many years but because of cutbacks there was no hospital bed, no care, no treatment for him.
Maybe it's got something to do with the $15 BILLION we're spending on new fighter jets from America.
I understand you guys spend $1/2 Trillion per year on military toys. You must have plenty of hospitals, eh? Health insurance for everyone?
Affordable care for the disadvantaged and disabled? No mentally ill people roaming the streets and subways in America, that's for sure. And of course your vets get the very best of care and compassion.
By the way, apo, is intentional that the "Unrequited Narcissism" link in your Mineshaft sidebar leads here rather than here? Either way, it's funny.

Asking your neighbor to oil you up. Not so sweet.

If dude can totally flip out with some nunchucks, WHILE covered in lube, that is REAL Ultimate Power!!!1! Haters best step off, because I’ve totally been taking yoga, and I will cut your heads off.
