Australian man killed by kangaroo he kept as pet, police say

An Australian man has died after being attacked by a kangaroo he had been keeping as a pet, police say.

A relative found the 77-year-old man with serious injuries on Monday at his home in Redmond, about 400km (250 miles) south of Perth.

When the ambulance crew arrived at the rural property, the kangaroo prevented them from treating the man.

Police say they were forced to shoot the marsupial dead so paramedics could reach him. The man died at the scene.

A police spokesperson told media they believed the man had been attacked by the kangaroo - a wild animal - earlier in the day.

Kangaroos always look like quiet assassins plotting ways they're going to fuck you up.

I've spent time in Maddock.  They are a hardy people and I though not dumb like this.

Public health officials in North Dakota issued a rabies alert Tuesday after learning someone brought a captive raccoon inside a bar in the small town of Maddock. 

The North Dakota Department of Health & Human Services is advising anyone who may have been bitten or had contact with the raccoon's saliva to speak with a health care provider. 

The incident happened at the Maddock Bar last Tuesday, according to authorities. 

“Because rabies is such a serious disease with a nearly 100% fatality rate, we are making this information available to the public as a precautionary measure,” said Amanda Bakken, an epidemiologist with the state health department. 

Bartender Cindy Smith told the Bismarck Tribune a local resident carried the animal into the bar during happy hour and showed it off to another customer. 

The woman was immediately asked to leave.

This dude carries a grudge, and is a type A motivator. The decedent had a brief marriage with the urinator over 40 years ago, yet he still is so angry he pisses on her grave every morning. Plus he gets his wife out of bed, in the car, to accompany him every single day. Just a straight shooter with upper management written all over him.

Yes, plus he pees every morning at exactly the same time so you know he's punctual. That's very important.

Pilot sues Southwest after colleague exposes himself
FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. (AP) — A Southwest Airlines pilot is suing the company, her union and a former colleague who pleaded guilty last year to dead-bolting the cockpit door during a flight and stripping naked in front of her.

….

 

Janning said that when they reached cruising altitude, Haak told her this was his final flight and there was something he wanted to do before retirement. 

She said he bolted the door so no flight attendant could enter. He then put the plane on autopilot, stripped off his clothes, began watching pornography on his laptop and committed a lewd act for 30 minutes while taking photos and videos of himself. 

Salnick said it was Janning who asked Haak if there was anything he wanted to do before retiring. When he replied he wanted to fly naked, she told him to go ahead and then made sexual advances after he disrobed, Salnick said. He said Haak rejected those and adamantly denied a lewd act occurred.

"Haak, of Longwood, Florida, was a pilot with Southwest Airlines for 27 years before retiring at the end of August last year."

Spoiler on that link. Don’t click unless you like seeing running pics of old, overweight German dudes. And if you do, then click away.
