Creep travels half the world to harass online teen gamer… and gets shot by her mom Crazy Kiwi comes a cropper Troy George Skinner ... Credit: Goochland County Police Department A New Zealand gamer who flew halfway around the world to confront a 14-year-old girl he met online got more than he bargained for when her mom shot him, according to police. Troy George Skinner, 25, flew from his home in Auckland to Sydney, Australia, took a connecting flight to Los Angeles, USA, then from Los Angeles to Washington DC, and finally caught a bus from DC to Goochland County, Virginia, in order to reach the unnamed girl he had been interacting with online for several months, cops said this week. Although that might sound vaguely romantic, the truth was much darker, it is claimed: she had told him over a gaming chat app called, appropriately enough, Discord, that she no longer wanted to talk to him, sparking his trans-Pacific passage. And when he arrived at her house on June 22, he was carrying a knife, pepper spray, and some duct tape he had bought at a nearby Walmart, it is alleged.

Foot lose: Idiot perv's shoe-mounted upskirt vid camera explodes Scumbag combusts his own leg with instant karma creepshot fail A pervert in Wisconsin, USA, surrendered himself to the cops after a plan to secretly take photos under women's skirts blew up in his face, er, ankle. The unnamed creep hobbled into the Madison West District police station earlier this week complaining of a foot injury, and seeking to turn himself in. It turns out the bloke's bad wheel was the result of an unsuccessful attempt to shoot covert "upskirt" clips of women's underwear. Apparently, the gimpy perp had bought a shoe-mounted camera with the intent of taking upskirt videos, only to have the setup catch fire on top of his laces at around 5:00 PM on Tuesday.
Somali terrorist group’s plastic bag ban aims to protect ‘humans and animals’ al-Shabaab spokesman Sheik Muktar Robow Abu Mansur addresses a news conference © Feisal Omar / Reuters The Somali terrorist group al-Shabaab, an Al-Qaeda affiliate that has carried out suicide attacks and massacres across East Africa, has issued an eco-friendly edict banning plastic bags. Al-Shabaab’s radio station, Radio Andalus, announced on Sunday that the terrorist organization could no longer stand idly by and allow discarded plastic bags to pollute southern Somalia’s scenic beauty, saying that the dreadful plastic refuse poses “a serious threat to the wellbeing of humans and animals alike.�
I'd imagine this type of arrangement is more normal than most people are aware of so perhaps not particularly bizarre but this thread still seems most appropriate: UK government to foot police bill for Trump's golfing trip to Scotland Treasury to provide ringfenced funding of up to £5m should planned visit go ahead The UK government has pledged to cover up to £5m in extra policing costs if President Trump visits Scotland to go golfing later this month. Liz Truss, the Treasury secretary, wrote to the Scottish government’s new justice secretary, Humza Yousaf, to confirm that any policing costs directly associated with Trump’s visit on 13 July would be paid by the Treasury. Ministers in Edinburgh were alarmed last week when Iain Livingstone, the interim chief constable of Police Scotland, estimated the force could need up to 5,000 officers at a potential cost of £5m to properly police his visit.
Obama's family vacation to the African Safari cost taxpayers somewhere in the ballpark of half a billion. The fact it is only £5m and Scottland is willing to pay it seems like a big win ;-)
Unless you're talking about African tax payers this is completely irrelevant. It's not Scotland (or Scottland) that is willing to pay, it's the UK government. If it was up to the Scottish "government" he wouldn't be invited in the first place and if he visited of his own accord he'd pay for his own security. And "only" is relative; there are only approx. 5m people in Scotland. A quid each just so that arsehole can play golf? Aye, what a bargain, right enough. For him, perhaps. For everyone else, not so much.
Trump does own the golf resort at Turnberry, if Trump goes golfing there, it will be because he invited UK officials to play with him. Many examples of Trump inviting foreign dignitaries to Mar Largo & Bedford for golf course diplomacy
I don't think that's terribly abnormal. He will have his own personal security as well, but, generally the host guarantees the security of the guest in diplomacy. The alternative would be to use 5000 US personal or to have the US cut a cheque to the police - neither of which would likely stand as being arms-lengthy enough to feel sovereign.
The Guardian: I stopped going to the gym because of Trump. Now I can't open jars If you think this is one of those situations where the headline sounds absurd but the actual story makes sense, you are wrong.
