[CBC.CA] Then the man wanted to take over driving. They argued about it, but he had a shotgun so he got the wheel.
"I know he wasn't much of a driver ... I don't know if he's ever driven before because he was all over the road, but he's also doing 145, 150 kilometres per hour."
And then clunk. And boom.
"The shotgun went off in the cab," Gary said. "Well, it was deafening, for one thing, and I could see all the pellets and sparks coming out the barrel and everything else. And then he started saying, still driving that fast, 'Oh, oh, this isn't good, this isn't good.'"
They wrestled for the wheel and the gearshift, the carjacker trying to cram it into park. Gary got it into neutral and they coasted to the side of the highway. By now, the man was starting to lose consciousness, muttering, the shotgun loose on the floor.
The truck rolled to a stop. They were just outside Borden, about 50 kilometres northwest of Saskatoon.
'BLOOD EVERYWHERE' Gary said he jumped out of the truck, raced around to the driver's side and popped open the door.
"I looked down on the floor and I could see blood everywhere, and the gun was still laying there," he said.
He grabbed the shotgun, went around to the back of the truck and tossed it into the darkness. Then he went back to the driver's side and took a good look at the man slumped behind the wheel.
"So I grabbed him ‐ I wasn't rough with him ‐ drug him out to the back of the truck and laid him on the ground very nicely."
Gary said he retrieved one of the man's shoes and a spare hoodie from the truck and laid both on the road near him. Then he retrieved his cellphone from the man's pocket, drove across the divided highway and parked.
He put on his flashers and called the police.
SUSPECT STILL IN HOSPITAL RCMP have charged 31-year-old Marty Chamakese with eight firearm-related offences, including kidnapping with a firearm, extortion with a firearm, pointing a firearm and possession for a dangerous purpose.
Chamakese is at Royal University Hospital, recovering from injury under the watch of guards. He has been charged but has not yet appeared in court.
He declined a request from CBC News for an interview.

How utterly Canadian.

Gary was a lot nicer than I would have been. He might have left a note referencing the Clinton family and/or Arkancide. Failing that he could have made reference to First Nations, Allan's Snackbar, or the Lieberal Party of Canuckistan.
[Universal Hub ] - A federal judge has sentenced a leader and a member of the MS-13 Eastside Loco Salvatrucha sub-gang to prison sentences in recent days, in part for their roles of encouraging the murder of a 15-year-old in East Boston in 2015.
Edwin "Playa" Guzman, 32, a leader of the sub-gang, or "clique" (left in photo), will spend 16 years in federal prison on a RICO charge, the US Attorney's office in Boston reports. Erick "Lobo" Argueta Larios, 33, received a 15-year sentence, the US Attorney's office reports.
Both participated in a "beat in," a 13-second beating of an MS-13 member to welcome him to full gang membership, of Julio "Animal" Martinez, after Martinez fatally stabbed Irvin de Paz on Trenton Street in East Boston on Sept. 20, 2015. Martinez got 40 years for the murder. MS-13 members move up in the ranks by murdering members of rival gangs; Martinez believed the teen to be a member of the rival 18th Street Gang.

I've stolen a lot of chickens in various parts of the world
Fresh caught, fresh cooked with clean hands, one assumes. Very different from the restaurant chicken, whose carcass sat for a number of days in the heat and flies before being cooked by someone who may have washed hands before approaching the task, and if so used the local water. Mr. Wife discovered the hard way that going vegetarian, and only thoroughly cooked vegetables, bread, and beer at that, was the only way he could avoid alternating food poisoning and dysentery.
[PRESSTV] UK Defense Secretary Gavin Williamson has lashed out at leaders of La Belle France and Germany for their proposal for creating a European army that could rival the NATO ...the North Atlantic Treaty Organization. A cautionary tale of cost-benefit analysis.... military alliance.
"It is an absolutely crazy idea. NATO has delivered European security for the last 70 years and we should feel very proud of it," said Williamson on Tuesday, adding, "Should we undermine that by forming a separate military force? Absolutely not."
The comments come weeks after French President said that the European Union ...the successor to the Holy Roman Empire, only without the Hapsburgs and the nifty uniforms and the dancing... needed its own army to counter threats posed by Russia, China and even the US, which leads NATO.
Macron’s idea has been supported by Germany, EU’s dominant economic power, and the two countries have repeatedly expressed concerns that a United States under the presidency of people like Donald Trump ...New York real estate developer, described by Dems as illiterate, racist, misogynistic, and what ever other unpleasant descriptions they can think of, elected by the rest of us as 45th President of the United States... should no longer be regarded as reliable partner.

Well, Europe (with the qualified exception of the UK) hasn't been a reliable partner for about a quarter century now, so it works out.

Mr Bonaparte meet Mr Hitler. Mr Hitler meet Mr Bonaparte. Please gentlemen, let me introduce you to the Brussels roundtable. You all have something in common. Domination of Europe.

"Separate military force" ?
At that point, there's not even a bad excuse to maintain NATO. Hasta manyana.
In other news, the Germans probably have the Brandenburg and Nord regimental colors tucked away somewhere, so the staffing can begin.

Considering that Germany can't even keep an air wing flying and their tank brigades functional... I ain't too worried about a proposed EU army. It would basically be twenty generals and lawyers filing complaints against the US.

They just need some new taxes and a few more rules to make it work!

"Na und?" It's the Turk, with a smirk.
"Ask the Arab." Surprise!
"Ja, ich hab kein supplies!"
"Thanks, illiterate immigrant clerk."
[Breitbart] A Canadian curling team was kicked out of a tournament last weekend for drunken and "unacceptable behavior," according to reports.
The Canadian team reportedly broke curling brooms and damaged the locker room, as well, according to CNN.
The team, including the 2014 Olympic Gold Medal winner Ryan Fry, were forced to forfeit their final game at the Red Deer Curling Classic in Alberta on Sunday.
"They went out to curl, and they were extremely drunk and breaking brooms and swearing and just unacceptable behavior that nobody wants to watch or hear or listen to, and it was just ’enough was enough," said Facility manager Wade Thurber told CBC Sports.
Fry soon took to Twitter to issue an apology for his behavior.
"I want to express how sorry I am to everyone affected by my actions on Saturday," Fry tweeted on Monday. "I never meant to offend anyone, but that’s the result of a poor decision ‐ I have to live with the consequences and will be taking every step needed to guarantee this never happens again."

The notable thing about this story is that the drunken miscreants apologized - an actual apology apology. Not one of those modern "I'm sorry you were offended" or "I'm a victim of my impulses" things.
[Al Jazeera] Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey has kicked up a social media storm in India after a picture of him with a placard saying "smash Brahminical patriarchy" went viral in one of the company's fastest-growing markets.
The reference to Brahmins, the traditional priestly class who sit atop the rigid caste hierarchy, outraged some Hindus when the photograph was posted online on Sunday evening.
A journalist, who was part of a group of women journalists, activists, writers whom Dorsey met during a visit to India last week, posted the picture on Twitter.

[ENGLISH.ALARABIYA.NET] SpaceX chief executive Elon Musk has announced he is changing the name of his monster rocket BFR, aimed at carrying people to the Moon and possibly one day to Mars, to "Starship."
BFR has long been the unofficial name of the rocket, which is still under development.
The letters were initially presumed to stand for "Big Fucking Rocket," before company executives began formally referring to it as "Big Falcon Rocket."
"Renaming BFR to Starship," Musk wrote on Twitter late Monday.
In September, when Musk revealed that a Japanese billionaire would be among SpaceX’s first tourists to circle the Moon by 2023 at the earliest, he said the trip would be launched aboard the BFR.
The 387-foot (118-meter) tall rocket will consist of a first stage with engines and fuel systems, which Musk said Monday would be called the "Super Heavy."
The second stage "Starship" is the part with the spacecraft where the passengers will ride.
Musk has estimated the rocket system will cost $5 billion to build.
The spacecraft’s shape is reminiscent of the space shuttle, the bus-like US spaceships that carried astronauts to space 135 times from 1981 to 2011.
Musk has said he wants the Starship vessel to be able to hold around 100 people, and that the launch system could one day be used to colonize the Moon and Mars in order to make humans a "multi-planetary" species.
SpaceX currently operates two rockets: the Falcon 9 and the Falcon Heavy.

:Meh: The Germans didn't think it was appropriate to name submarines and only gave them such catchy names as "Unterseeboat-109". No doubt they thought the American habit of actually naming things as silly, too.

I liked BFR. Likely what it was called in the first meetings: "I want you to build me a rocket to Mars, a Big Fucking Rocket."
That's about as American a name as you can get.

Call the second stage module the "Starship" as it supposedly will be able to SSTO on small bodies and keep BFR for the first stage booster... I liked 'BFR' it kinda reminds me of people explaining that the 'BUFF' nickname for the B-52 really, trust us!, meant "Big Ugly Fat ... (cough) Fella".

NASA's Lander that will be landing this Monday has to survive the “seven minutes of terror” during atmospheric entry, descent, and landing. It'll be going 13,000 mph as it first enters the Martian atmosphere and with thrusters will slow to 5 mph. The heat shield will get as hot as 2500 degrees Fahrenheit—hot enough to melt steel. It will stay this hot for about 3.5 minutes, until it is time for the parachute to deploy. However the atmosphere is so thin they say the parachute won't work as well that's why the thrusters. So exciting, we'll be able to watch online.

I wonder with this amount of heat on entry how Musk is planning on protecting people on a manned flight. I don't think I'd like to be the guinea pig here.

A multi-volume chronology and reference guide set detailing three years of the Mexican Drug War between 2010 and 2012.
Rantburg.com and borderlandbeat.com correspondent and author Chris Covert presents his first non-fiction work detailing
the drug and gang related violence in Mexico.
Chris gives us Mexican press dispatches of drug and gang war violence
over three years, presented in a multi volume set intended to chronicle the death, violence and mayhem which has
dominated Mexico for six years.
Rantburg was assembled from recycled algorithms in the United States of America. No
trees were destroyed in the production of this weblog. We did hurt some, though. Sorry.
