PANORAMA CITY, Calif. -- A man who barricaded himself with two hostages in a Panorama City condominium for about three hours surrendered to police early Friday.
"They don't seem to be emphasizing the homosexual nature of this case."
Of course not!
You're not supposed to think that a HOMOSEXUAL would do something so EXTREME!
Shame on you for thinking ... .
;)
I've heard Super-glue can be used for hetero- and even auto- activities. However, when used in a hetero setting, be sure to keep it away from Tab-A and Slot-B, unless you plan to remain -really- close friends after the excitement is over.
I am not gay and back in the 80's my wife and I always enjoyed gluing our guests shoes to the floor if they had taken them off in bad weather when visiting. When they went to leave they thought they had too much to drink trying to pick up their shoes .............. they did.
LOL!
The victims probably didn't mind. Heck I bet they tore into the police with a verbal tirade once they got unstuck.
Nice one.
You just wanted her to post a picture of the bear, didn't you?
"Our lips are sealed..."
> Of course not!
Ummm, hello? Right at the top of the story, it said: "...the man, armed with a handgun, held two other men hostage... They may have been his former lovers..."
I don't know about you, but that tipped me off right away that these guys were all gays.
Or do you need pictures to make the situation clear? I for one can do without pictures in this case.
I don't need pictures. But you should consider this: Nowadays people use computer networks for their research. Whether it be LexisNexis or Google, what you find is determined by the search terms you use.
"Gee, I remember this case, there was this gay guy, I think he took his boyfriend hostage and ended up super-gluing him. Something like that ... let's see if we can find it ...
Search term: (homosexual or gay) and superglue and kidnapping
Result: this never happened.
If you need it plainer: journalists leave "homosexual" out of stories that are supposed to disappear and not show up in future searches.
Well, it might be too soon for the "kidnapping" part to show up in the search engines, but I just googled on:
gay super-glue
and got 120,000 hits, with references to the application of super-glue to body parts (mostly unintentional, of course) sprinkled throughout, starting with the first (a TV show on the gay channel, not surprisingly). I suspect that in a couple of days, even this kidnapping/hostage situation might well show up.
I'm not defending the MSM's propensity for leaving certain aspects of stories out, but just saying, something like this is sorta unusual and might not show up in casual searches.
You say you'd like to see the word "homosexual" in the story. How about "gay" or "queer" (both considered non-derogatory these days by gays) instead? Where does the news-story-as-thesaurus stop? The stated facts that they were all men and lovers pretty much covers it, IMO.
Besides, if it had been a man and two women, would you expect the word "heterosexual" to be included in the story? I wouldn't.
Lotsa fun news today.
Bet the charges are going to stick in this case.
On a serious note, I wonder if the two hostages will actuially press charges or ask that they be dropped in order to minimize the publicity of their sexual orientation.
For once, DD was conservative in her choice of pics.
I wonder if it's a full moon...
I didn't want to over use the DomBear.
this doesn't make much sense. They'd have to hold still while he glued them.....how?
What kind of people are out there these days? Is this what I defend by serving my country. I am ashmed to say that I am an American.
