Hmmm...

Yes, it would be nice to pronounce the way it is intended - as in (Buh-hoot, Joe Low Kee Uh); and, Red Sa veen uh.

Here is the standard first aid for spicy pepper burn. Granulated sugar taken directly into the mouth - a packet or tablespoon full, usually very quickly takes away about 50% of the burn.

The best method - in advance of taste testing – is to prepare four heaping tablespoons of regular sour cream, mixed with four heaping tablespoons of granulated sugar, and mix well. Have that nearby. The sour cream and sugar combo removes about 80% of the heat almost instantly.

I mix spices and pepper blends as an avocational business interest. Over the last 12 years, I have conducted many experiments and have found that water, beer, sodas, or MILK, do very little to help get rid of the heat. The best bet is the sour cream & sugar mix.

My best spicy seasoning mix incorporates Bhut Jolokia, Red Savina Habanero, and several other peppers and spices. It is fairly hot, but tasty. I have had it lab tested at 133,000 Scolville Heat Units, and that is pretty hot for a “dry rub” type of seasoning mix.

Oh, and to the cops that wrote the policemag article...

The BART police did not remove the mortally wounded man immediately, they did not administer first aid. He did not die at the hospital. I understand needed to get control of the situation (they now created), but SOMEONE could have gotten him immediate help instead of waiting so long.

Cops don't understand, people can understand possibly an accidental discharge. They can no longer tolerate the bullshit coverups and cops who never see justice. The BART spokesman lies to the public. The police never come forward with details. The only evidence had to be released by cameras that happened to have not been confiscated. The videos contradict the official story.

Why won't this guy be treated like any citizen? Why was he not arrested? Why will he not be criminally charged?

Although I'm not a fan of the litigation culture that is growing in the UK (and seems to have entirely swallowed the US) you can't disregard the consequences of someone's actions just because they mean well. There just has to be a line drawn between unfortunate accident and negligence.

I know sod all about first aid but I know for sure that you never move people with potential trauma if they are not in immediate danger. Similarly, I cringe when I see videos of bikers who have crashed and "good Samaritans" immediately yank their helmet off as if that will help, rather than potentially paralyzing them.

The good Samaritan laws will only protect you if you are performing medical procedures (CPR, first aid, etc) within your level of training.

To simplify: If you don't know shit about CPR and you perform it on someone and end up cracking all their ribs or puncturing a lung because you were doing it too hard, then you are liable.

You don't necessarily have to be doing something medical to be protected. If it's something like pulling someone from a burning car, then you're alright, because it's not a medical procedure. So if someone starts choking and you can't dislodge the obstruction with the Heimlich, don't pull out a knife and try an emergency tracheotomy just because you saw House do it last night. If someone is trapped in a burning car and you drag them out only to dislodge their shoulder, you should be alright because like thain said, they have to prove they would have been better off if you left them there.

I can't watch the video now, but I'll have to catch it when I get home.

Not every one on the sift has dealt with a life and death situation.

So they may not know the need for a weapon, first aid kit, pressure bandages, or things of that nature.

Personal experience:
When you come home to find door damaged with what looks to be a screw driver and the chain on the door busted, you may want something more substantial than a cell phone. (When the chain is busted, that means some one broke in while your loved ones where there.) For some of us, the world has shown its darker side.

"In a situation you will not rise to the occasion but rather you will default to your level of training" - Robert Boatman - So if you are a pacifist, don't train for combat.

Proper safety, and good practice. Do not become complacent.

But on a more serious note: Every one should take a minute to look around the room they are in. See how many tools you use every day that can be used as weapons.

Kitchen knives, writing sticks, keyboards, cords, game controllers. To a master any thing is a weapon.

Funny note: Open your underwear drawer, any number of those items in there could be used as a weapon.

This reminds me of Milgram's and Zimbardo's experiments that showed that people were capable of doing atrocious things so long as they could rationalize that they were just doing their job or that it wasn't their responsibility.

I'm totally with Nordlich on this one. Any photographer that says they didn't help because they have the more important responsibility of getting the news out is full of sh*t. That footage from Georgia of the photographers just standing around taking photos had nothing to do with getting the story out and everything to do with each of them hoping to get the cover or Time or Newsweek and make a lot of cash in the process. Your responsibility as a human being to help others in immediate need supersedes any responsibility you may think you have to your job.

As a final note, notice that in this vid not once do you see the photographer standing around taking pictures of wounded people who are obviously in need of first aid. The shots he takes of the wounded are at the hospital--and no less compelling because of it.

It might have been trained to do that. One way to tell, take a small light and test the pupils to see if they react, if they don't, then you have a medical problem. Its unlikely that any one can keep their pupils from reacting to light stimulus.

On the other hand, if something has epilepsy there is not much you can do about it except create an environment that does not induce seizure.

To those of you out there that might witness a seizure and provide first aid: don't ever put any thing in that persons mouth(or cat). And cradle the head of the victim so that they (cat) do not damage their skulls.

And no you cannot swallow your tongue, but you can choke on it.

What I just saw there, in the US would have been three counts of assault, aggravated assault (for kicking the guy on the ground) and attempted murder(for not helping the guy on the ground).

In the US a security guard after hurting some one is immediately attempt apply first response. So if a guard shoots you, in the US, and then starts first aid on you, that person is doing their jobs. If they fail to, they may very well go to jail for it.

As for martial arts? I saw none in their, all I saw was some bullshit brawling. Martial Artists usually don't get into shit like this, unless you mean that MMA sports stuff.

I didn't even see any Russia Systema in there.

HOWEVER: What was that kid thinking punching the guard ... lol

The house two lots away from my mother caught on fire, and most of the house went up in smoke (I say that carefully--only half went up in flames, but all of it had enough smoke to kill anyone inside). My mom went out to watch with the neighborhood, and the neighbor who lived in the burning house was crying about her cat inside a shut room. The firemen went in, got the cat, which was not breathing.

Those firemen spent 20 minutes giving that cat first aid, including mouth to mouth, and the cat pulled through.

The next morning my mom sent a check to the firedepartment in appreciation.

I know some people wouldn't think it was appropriate for the firemen to waste time on a cat, but it certainly calmed the hysterical pet owner and made fans of the neighborhood.

What could possibly been the urgency in getting this poor man, desperately in need of first aid, to move away from where he was? The cops obviously felt threatened by the something about the situation from the start.

In my community some years ago there was an incident in which the police shot to death a naked unarmed man. I'm wondering about the possibility of an identifiable 'phobia'. These guys said that they were afraid because of the blood but could it have been because of the nakedness?

We expect a lot from cops, probably way too much. These two are obviously not good material for rational thinking in a pinch.

What a truly tragic story.

Thanks. I still don't get the Wild West Show. Oh well.

Wild West Show? Huh?

Ah, very well then. I can understand what you're saying about the reliance on the technology. If it were to fail, then the entire system would be out-of-action.
As far as the information overload - well, you'd be surprised at the amount of information troops have to know already - Whether it's the proper techniques of clearing a building, and remembering all the small things, or first aid, or how to properly call for air support if the radio man gets taken down. Having to know how to operate this wouldn't be a big deal, because that's where training comes in. After training enough, anything can become second nature. So, to sum it up: Snap decisions can be made flawlessly, no matter how much information needs to be processed, because U.S. troops are some of the most highly-trained troops on Earth.

We live in a drugs based society, anyone who doesn't realize it doesn't see the kids in school cracked out on Ritalin becuase everyone thinks ADHD is 'disease', while their soccer mums knock back Valiums to bear living with their husbands who are desperately trying to get a hard on from Cialis and Viagra. First what should happen is a total reform of the FDA to fully be able to administrate over what drugs are being produced. Pharmaceuticals have now taken to creating conditions that are not medical problems and providing medication for it, pushed through to citizens via rolling TV adverts and massive drugs guides in most popular magazines. Pick up a Reader Digest anytime. FDA needs power back to stop being run basically by Big Pharma lobby groups.

After that we must legalize drugs through the state because that will end the illegal supply from the underworld and end one of the longest running cash cows for illegal criminal activity. Once sanctioned through the state, we can start to slowly eliminate the problem with hardcore chemical dependences drugs such as crack cocaine, methamphetamine and heroin. Simply the act of high supply at low prices will collapse the illegal trade in narcotics, at the same time the state can refer critical individuals to relevant support services, because when's the last time you seen your drug dealer take you to the first aid ward?

Marijuana and other naturalistic drug supplies are impossible to make illegal, nor does it warrant heavy attention from law enforcement because it's a small source of income and has to be sold in bulk if for profit. They are usually not affiliated with the heavy criminal underworld, and the large legal repercussions we have now mean that even first time offenders can feasible be locked up for possession of marijuana, the crime doesn't not fit with the consequences.

As per your statement about loss of people to drugs through legalization, that is really quite ridiculous, I mean we have alcohol as a major social killer in various ways, yet we understand that it's for consumption under controlled circumstances. Your argument makes it sound like when booze became legal back after the prohibition everyone was going to work pissed drunk. Holding a job down comes with responsibility, one of which is to be alert, you would lose that job instantly and won't be able to buy your legal supply so to say. This is besides the fact that any job these days that requires putting the lives of others at your disposal comes with mandatory drug tests.

This is the same thing we have seen happen with regards to the abolition of alcohol, we created an underworld under dubious moralistic judgments about what is good for society.

Wow, that's creepy. What few don't realize is that if terrorists REALLY wanted to do some damage to New York, they could fly a plane into the Citicorp building (the one with the diagonal rooftop)... its foundation corners were moved to its center points as a snazzy architectural feat from protecting a landmark Church on the block's corner. Using a series of chevrons spreading across multiple floors WITHOUT welding the chevrons to each floors, the shifting of foundation weakened the building and made it terrifyingly susceptible to falling over during hurricane winds. At one point, Citicorp employees masquaraded as first aid employees to do a census of the surrounding buildings -- if the Citicorp building fell, its sheer weight could cause a domino effect that could topple tens of skyscrapers and kill tens of thousands, not to mention the economic ripple effect for years afterward...
