Sounds funny, but looking at the video it is far from it.

I'm perplexed as to why a brawl between black and white folk in a historically racist state causes you mirth. I'm genuinely interested in what you think it funny about it?

Ok, fair enough and thanks for your answer.

Also, this was not a street fight anyone was armed for. It was impromptu.

"HE IN THE WATER! HE IN THE WATER!"

Strange one. Its a 2 man fight until 6 white guys jump in. Then the 2nd black guy in with the black shirt actually tries to break it up and deescalate for a bit. It could have died down from there but the original black guy takes another run at his opponent and it all starts again.

An Oldham family who missed out on the trip of a lifetime thanks to a tiny passport flaw have spoken of their devastation.

Suzanne Senior, her husband Steven, their daughter Bethany and her boyfriend were all supposed to fly out to Thailand on Friday (August 4). The family forked out £7,000 for the holiday and couldn’t wait to explore the islands around Phuket.

But their excitement was quickly cut short when a Qatar Airways employee noticed a defect in Bethany’s passport. They were attempting to check into their flight when the staff member spotted a small rip on the 24-year-old's photo ID page.

The employee refused to accept the damaged document, meaning Bethany was not allowed to fly.

Suzanne and Steven decided to stay behind with their daughter while her boyfriend chose to travel to Thailand alone.

And this:

A 44-year-old Thai man was violently attacked by 10 drunken macaques when he was walking on a road that passes the top of a cliff in the Ranong area, Khao Niwet, Thailand.
The gang of monkeys attacked him and pushed him off the cliff that descends 50 metres to the nearest road.
The man suffered several wounds and was bleeding profusely.
Locals attributed this attack to the drunkenness of the monkeys, who used to steal bottles of liquor from a store in the area, according to media reports.

Hawk drops snake on woman - and both animals attack her
10 Aug, 2023



A Texan gardener says she is “relieved to be alive” after being attacked by a snake that fell from the sky – and a hawk that swooped down to reclaim its prey. Peggy Jones, 64, was mowing her lawn when the passing hawk dropped its dinner directly on to her.

The serpent quickly coiled itself around her arm and bit her repeatedly. The hawk then joined the melee, attacking Jones’ arm as it tried in vain to untangle the snake. “It [the snake] was starting to dart at my face...and he was striking my glasses and he just kept on and kept on,” she said. "I just couldn’t get rid of the snake… I think I went into survival mode.”

Jones said she had suffered deep bite and talon wounds, as well as smashed glasses which she said had been covered in snake venom. Eventually, the hawk was able to pull the snake off Jones’ arm, leaving her husband to take her to the hospital.

This is supposed to be a socalled "Cosmic Cattle Repellent Device" (read hat).

Might be good for low altitude snakes also
