How far away the mother was and what a terrible mother she is is irrelevant. Even if she was Mother of the Year she still wouldn't have been hovering over her son with a leash she could use to yank him out of the way to safety.

The bottom line is the skater was a douchecock for being so careless as to potentially seriously injure that defenseless, innocent little boy. Yes, smashing someone's head to the concrete can be fatal. It's very common for someone to impact the ground with their head and die from the resulting brain trauma. (It happened to a Marine in the news last week. It happened to a guy I knew in high school. It happened to Natasha Richardson. It almost happened to Larry Miller, but they saved him by removing his skull.)

For his fucking selfishness and ignorance toward people around him he deserves more than a single punch to the face. It should be beaten into him to watch out for bystanders and especially small children when practicing his poser-ass skateboard tricks.

Of course, he, like many people commenting here, surely feels he didn't do anything wrong, so I'm sure he'll take nothing away from the incident except that some little asshole kiddie got in the way, causing himself to get an owie, and his low-life absentee psychopathic mother is just a raving lunatic.

If anything in particle physics is actually like the experience of trying to keep a cat on a leash, we're in for a bad time.

I've never seen a diamond in the flesh
I cut my teeth on wedding rings in the movies
And I'm not proud of my address
In the torn up town, no post code envy

But every song's like:
Gold teeth
Grey Goose
Tripping in the bathroom
Bloodstains
Ball gowns
Trashing the hotel room

We don't care, we're driving cadillacs in our dreams

But everybody's like:
Crystal
Maybach
Diamonds on your timepiece
Jet planes
Islands
Tigers on a gold leash

We don't care, we're aren't caught up in your love affair

And we'll never be royals (royals)
It's a word that I would love.
That kind of lux just ain't for us, we crave a different kind of buzz
Let me be your ruler (ruler)
You can call me queen bee
And baby I'll rule, I'll rule, I'll rule, I'll rule
Let me live that fantasy

My friends and I we've cracked the code
We count our dollars on the train to the party
And everyone who knows us knows
That we're fine with this, we didn't come for money
But every song's like:
Gold teeth
Grey Goose
Tripping in the bathroom
Bloodstains
Ball gowns
Trashing the hotel room
We don't care, we're driving cadillacs in our dreams

But everybody's like:
Crystal
Maybach
Diamonds on your timepiece
Jet planes
Islands
Tigers on a gold leash

We don't care, we're aren't caught up in your love affair

And we'll never be royals (royals)
It's a word that I would love.
That kind of lux just ain't for us, we crave a different kind of buzz
Let me be your ruler (ruler)
You can call me queen bee
And baby I'll rule, I'll rule, I'll rule, I'll rule
Let me live that fantasy

ooh ooh oh ooh
We're better than we've every dreamed
And I'm in love with being queen
ooh ooh oh ooh
Life is great without a care
We aren't caught up in your love affair
And we'll never be royals (royals)
It's a word that I would love.
That kind of lux just ain't for us, we crave a different kind of buzz
Let me be your ruler (ruler)
You can call me queen bee
And baby I'll rule, I'll rule, I'll rule, I'll rule
Let me live that fantasy

This is the "here buddy smell my fingers, shoot him in the chest" move they teach at the academy. He is not trying to calm it down or grab the leash. This is technically how you do it with a pistol.

Perhaps your misplaced malaise would offer more of an effectual response if you could separate the skills and manner of the creature from your pre-conceived notions of how the machine functions. Politics has become spectacle and cult-of-personality and "administrating" government the business of an elite mafiosiesque thugfest.

A "superior" politician, what the hell does that even matter? First and foremost, he's a fucking liar. A seasoned, prolific, professional liar with a hundred leashes around his neck. POTHEAD. Smoked weed all through high-school with the persona of a anarchistic drug pimp.


CHICAGO: Poster-child of corrupt city government from a state up to it's historic ass in graft, collusion with organized crime, and piece of shit law enforcement, not to mention again, the WORST gun laws in the U.S.

If anything I would hope that his administration would finally wake the somnambulant masses up to the idea that the shits' broken to the point of insurrection of a nation, not some fairyland ideal of "Next time, our vote will work for, "Change"....Fuck change, time for seizure of assets public executions!

I don't see it that way, in my opinion US citizens are quite capable of using their intellect. The big problem I see is that your government doesn't seem to care anymore what the populace is for or against. Recently there was a new gun law that should be passed by the congress, I think you know which one I am talking about. The one 80% of the people were for and more than half of the congressmen voted for, which still didn't pass. It shows perfectly that the people aren't to blame, it's your out of touch politicians. It seems like there only are 2 principles you can count on from US politicians (or at least these are the reasons they tell the public), one would be the war on terror and the other the economy.

If you are interested in german politics, we are fighting our criminal mastermind-politicians quite effectively. The Bundespräsident (obviously not the Bundeskanzlerin) resigned in 2012 for some minor favors he had (like not having to pay for a hotel he was staying in while he was president). There was a giant out leash from the public and he quickly had to go (http://news.nationalpost.com/2012/02/17/german-president-christian-wulff-resigns-amid-scandal/).

But even more interesting, just yesterday there was a ruling by the highest german court, if the new terror-file used by our intelligence agency and the police was constitutional. It wasn't, so the judges had to change it. And the decision wasn't driven by the need to stop terror, but by german history. You see the problem is, our police and our intelligence agency are separated for historical reasons. When Hitler was just made chancellor of germany he used the Gestapo as an agency that was police and intelligence in one, to get rid of his political enemies.

I know that was very long, I just wanted to make my point using my own country as the best (or worst, depends on the view ) example there is for the world. Cause the world could still learn a thing or two from us, since we learned a thing or two from our last dictatorship and how to avoid it happening again (at least I really hope so).

Uh and since I love quotes, just recently I read this one "They who can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety." Benjamin Franklin.

damn its called a leash.... evolution in action

I was completely disappointed. Google should have been a large fat man, with most of the sites on a leash, like Jaba with Leia. There should be drool coming from his mouth
Youtube should have been a schizophrenic, insane person, dressed in hip-hop cloths, speaking gibberish spanglish.
Also, there is no weeping, nor gnashing of teeth...

Interesting. The dog on the treadmill doesn't want to be there so it has to be leashed to it. However the puppy sees the big dog on there and desperately wants to have a go. Could this meme, a preference to exercise on treadmills rather than running around and stuff, spread through successive generations of dogs? Healthy for their body, but not for their mind me thinks...

So why the double leash on the fox? The dog only has one leash... I think I smell a racist.

the child leash isnt such a bad idea. in fact, its about the only thing that may work to prevent a lot of things. TIE EM DOWN

The State will tighten the leash when this gets too popular.

The Aristotle avatar still has to be programmed. Who will do so, Karl Marx or Ayn Rand?

My Doberman failed Dog School 'cuz she was more interested in playing with the toy-variety dogs in class at their level. No one was ever hurt. They loved her, but their owners didn't because she was such a distraction...and "yes", I did try to control her. She would be beside me, looking over her shoulder at her tiny neighbor longingly...until the moment I relaxed the leash, and then straight to the ground.

What about the fish?


Your right, he probably masterminded this whole scheme
