How to spend a couple thousand bucks to support a stupid charity race and cost yourself a jillion in bad publicity from reinforced stereotypes.

Oregon Man Kidnaps Grandma at Knife Point, Goes on 12-Hour Road Trip
byTim Stelloh
A 22-year-old Oregon man kidnapped his 87-year-old grandmother at knife point and forced her to drive for nearly 12 hours, the Marion County Sheriff's Office said Sunday.
Robert White of Salem was charged Sunday with unlawful possession of methamphetamine, kidnapping, menacing, criminal mischief and violating a protective order in the incident Saturday night, the sheriff's office said in a statement.

The statement said that White's family had been "struggling to help" with his meth use and that his grandmother, who wasn't identified, had briefly placed her grandson in a hotel.
On Saturday night, the statement says, "she had to inform him that the money had run out and he needed to leave the hotel."
When his grandmother picked him up, White climbed into the backseat of her car, then "placed a knife to [her] throat and told her to drive," the statement says. "Driving through the night while her grandson smoked methamphetamine and rambled about the police following him for the past nine months, relief finally came when Mr. White called 911 at about 8 a.m."
The statement doesn't say what White told the dispatcher, but using GPS, the sheriff's office tracked his grandmother's vehicle to a road east of downtown Salem. White was taken into custody without incident, the statement notes, and his grandmother, "although tired ... was not harmed during the near 12 hour ordeal."

Florida zookeeper dies after being attacked by tiger
Emergency medical personnel transport a woman who was attacked by a tiger at the Palm Beach Zoo on Friday, April 15, 2016 in West Palm Beach, Florida.
WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. -- A zoo employee died Friday after being attacked by a tiger at the Palm Beach Zoo, CBS affiliate WPEC reported.
West Palm Beach Police said it happened inside a contained area just before 1:45 p.m. Animal control officers and the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission also responded.
Police said the tiger was tranquilized. Authorities had to wait until the drugs took effect on the tiger before rescue crews could get to the female victim.
A zoo employee called the situation a "staff emergency." Guests were sent to the gift shop for safety, and safety protocols were initiated, according to the zoo.
The zoo was evacuated and will remain closed for the next two days, according to spokeswoman Naki Carter.
Carter told WPEC the tiger did not escape its enclosure. The incident took place in the night house where the tigers sleep as the zookeeper was preparing for a "tiger talk" with zoo guests.
Carter added that no one inside the zoo was in danger.
The male tiger invovled in the attack was one of four tigers at the zoo. It was later put down.
When police searched the Oconee County resident, they found in his pants pocket a spray bottle of Liquid ASS, which appeared to have worked as advertised.

Well maybe not. Some are combo things, like "I'll shoot you, then myself!" Double suicide. Sort of... But if a person is determined to do themselves in, do it alone. Don't jump. or do it by train. Railroaders don't need extra trauma. Working for the likes of BIG railroad is bad enough! And you white women, just quit it right now! Life is good. Give it a chance!
Links copy issue eh . Duz it work now ? Deja vu all over again.
