Teenage rugby player cut off penis while high on skunk, says father who wants drug made Class A

A teenage rugby player cut off his own penis and stabbed his mother while high on skunk, his father has revealed, as he called for the drug to be reclassified.

Extra strong cannabis, basically. The terms been around a while but maybe it's a UK thing?

it's a lot easier to say "my son cut his own dick off and stabbed his mother because he was on a drug that makes you cut your own dick off and stab your mother" than it is to say "my son is the kind of person who takes a load of drugs, cuts his own dick off, and stabs his mother"

I'm guessing it's not weed since the father wants it "classified." This says to me that it's a research chemical. Maybe a synthetic cannabinoid?

I stand corrected. It's literally what you said in this case.

I think the UK uses drug classifications for every drug ever (including recreational drugs) to determine legality.

Not just a beehive, but a bee wrangler!

quote:

The NYPD's bee wrangler was seen around 3:20 p.m. working to corral the insects. Meanwhile, cops cordoned off 47th Street between Madison and Fifth Avenue.
The wrangler vacuumed the bees, and the van was eventually taken away and the block reopened.

The bees were taken to the NYPD's beehive in the Bronx.

Most cities have to make due with a volunteer bee keeper. NY has a bee wrangler. Does he have teeny tiny lasso? :iiam:

Retired NYPD Beekeeper Says "Bullying" Made Him Leave the Force
http://www.nbcnewyork.com/news/local/Retired-NYPD-Bee-Keeper-Anthony-Planakis-Bullying-300727871.html

quote:

The NYPD’s resident beekeeper for the last 20 years says it was jealousy and bullying that made him leave the force last October.

Anthony Planakis, known as “Tony Bees,” rounded up everything from hornets to honeybees that threatened New York City residents for the NYPD. But he says he left the department after being accused of keeping the bees he removed to stock his own backyard hives.

Planakis said he would never introduce an outside swarm to his own hives.

“You’re rolling the dice when you pick up a swarm,” he said. “Pathogens, disease… Now the last thing I want to do is introduce that to my investment.”

The accusations, he said, stemmed from “the jealousy that was running rampant, surprisingly from supervisors.” The tension escalated when he was promoted to detective and given his own vehicle for bee calls, he said.

“You know, it’s bullying, it’s what it was,” Planakis said.

An NYPD spokesperson told NBC 4 New York that Planakis retired after 20 years and three candidates are now under consideration for the voluntary beekeeping job.


Bee policing is serious business.

Could be quite the movie, especially with this guy, who was the Bee Wrangler Himself until his retirement. It looks like he's still on call by NYPD for such stuff.


"He vacuumed up a swarm of 15,000 bees from the playground fence near the corner of McGraw and Virginia Avenues at around 9:30 a.m. — and relocated them to a new hive in Newtown, Connecticut later in the day.

“I go into my zen mode,” said Planakis, who wore just a tank top as he sucked the swarm away from the Bronx playground.

“I control my breathing, my heart rate, I am in complete control.”

He reported that no one was injured during the removal."

This might be the strangest thing I've ever read. A bee cop, which I did not know was a thing until today, gets accused of stealing bees from the police, which is an insane sentence to say, and then gives the perfectly reasonable and acceptable excuse of "Introducing those bees to my hives could devastate those hives", and quits because everyone is all of the police supervisors are jealous of his bees. This... This needs to be a movie.

Augusta City Center closes after angry man unleashes 100 live bedbugs

A man upset that he didn't qualify for General Assistance reportedly slammed a cup of 100 or so bugs on a counter, prompting City Hall's closure and pest control measures.

"The man had been to City Center previously Friday, apparently to complain to the code enforcement office about his former apartment on Court Street. Bridgeo said the man apparently showed the cup of bedbugs to a manager at his new apartment building on Water Street and the manager told him he couldn’t live there, and he had to leave. That’s when the man returned to City Center to seek assistance."
