I’m very tall and one time I was in my 97 year old grandmother’s room because I’d had to use her bathroom and she was half awake and said, “No! Go away!” and I was like, damn, ok. But I think she thought I was Death! :/
She was the best. So close to MLK during the Dream speech that she sat on the steps and couldn’t see him. Black Panthers would salute her white self. The best. I asked her what the most impactful technology she’d seen in her lifetime was and she said, “the next one.” So cool. There’s a picture of her and her crew with Jimmy Carter and she’s standing in front of him. What a badass.
Someone has to do this around the US capitol buildings.
Someone needs to dress as the grim reaper and rock up to whatever hospital Mitch McConnell is staying at. When security tries to turn him away, he can simply say, “I’m here to collect Mitch McConnell”.
“Yeah right, you said that a week ago.”
Hey no spawn camping
God forbid someone has a hobby…
Harvesting souls with ma homies.
Cracking open a few cold ones on the hospital roof
“…pleaded guilty to causing a nuisance without reasonable excuse”
thats a crime? And what would constitute a reasonable excuse?
hey, can we arrest trump for that if he comes back to the uk?
How is “because it was funny” not a reasonable excuse in this one instance?
Mate, he didn’t have his nuisance license. As punishment he will now be forced to observe the 3pm tea alarm with a glass of luke warm water.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Public_nuisance
The nuisance action began in twelfth century England as a criminal writ, belonging only to the Crown. It was used in cases that involved encroachments upon the King’s land or the blocking of public roads or waterways. The King sought to punish these criminal infringements, commonly known as “purprestures”, through criminal proceedings. Over time, activities prosecuted as public nuisances included everything from embezzling public funds to having a tiger pen next to a highway, from assisting a homicidal maniac to escape to placing a mutilated corpse on a doorstep, and from selling rotten meat to “subdividing houses to the point where they become ‘overpestered’ with the poor”. As these examples demonstrate, early authority to commence public nuisance actions was derived from the sovereign’s “police power”.[10]
Spencer (1989 at 59) describes the offence as “a rag-bag of odds and ends which we should nowadays call ‘public welfare offences’”.[11] But the common feature of the crime is that members of the public suffer a common injury through interference with rights which they enjoy as citizens. The modern definition is found in paras 31–40 Archbold (2005):
A person is guilty of a public nuisance (also known as common nuisance), who (a) does an act not warranted by law, or (b) omits to discharge a legal duty, if the effect of the act or omission is to endanger the life, health, property, morals, or comfort of the public, or to obstruct the public in the exercise or enjoyment of rights common to all Her Majesty’s subjects.[12]

I’m pretty sure that national leaders don’t normally visit countries unless they are extended diplomatic immunity, so probably not.
EDIT: Hmm. Though…this says that it was abolished as a crime in England and Wales four years ago. There’s still the tort, but the way The Mirror described it, he was “fined”, and I think that you only get fined in criminal law, not civil law (in civil law, the analog would be called paying punitive damages, at least here in the US).
A SUCCULENT GRIM REAPER COSTUME?!!
HOW UNPROFESSIONAL.
SQUEAK.
Please tell me this is a pTerry reference?

At first glance it is really funny. But of course the people who were genuinely affected are the victims. And nothing funny about it.
Reading the article I don’t think the guy is actually 100 there. I believe he is struggling and just acting out - not that it is an excuse.Gillespie also stole £30 to £40 of cat food and litter from a local Pets at Home on March 26, along with food and drink from Sainsbury’s in Llandudno on May 28, a court heard. He was ordered to pay £100 in fines, £100 in cost to the Crown Prosecution Service and £50 in compensation.
Not the nicest thing to do to any terminally ill patients or knife attack survivors.
*scythe attack
He dressed up in a ‘Grim Reaper’-style outfit at Ysbyty Glan Clwyd hospital in St Asaph, Denbighshire, and climbed onto the roof where he stared at staff and visitors.
Am I stroking out or is that just how the English do things?
If you mean the name, that’s just how the Welsh do things.
St. Asaph is a place in North Wales, a nice place to visit.
I would hope a place named by smashing face to keyboard would be a nice place to visit
So black robes are illegal now?
Reminds me of Remi Gaillard, lol.
You mean the dude who stole his bits from Dom Jolly (Trigger Happy TV)?
what happened to this guy?
Hahaha what? If I were a patient, I’d be cracking up 😂
Oh! Whew! I was worried for a moment! Thishappened in the UK.
Perfectly fine to do this here in America. Actually most hospital rooms are empty. Ain’t nobody got money to pay for our broken healthcare system!
While your sentiment is for sure in the right place, the inverse is the case right now; I don’t know of a region that isn’t floating at crisis levels for bed avaliablity (right now US hospitals are roughly 89% full, well over the predicted threshold for “shit starts collapsing” at 85%). It’s really, really bad out there.
My hospital hovers around 100% year round. We were at 130% recently, that was bad. Very bad.
130%??? Are we talking like the stereotypical image of a collapsing country with patients laying in gurneys in the hallway?
Yes. This is in a major city in Colorado, we’re not a small hospital nor are we in a rural place. There’s no excuse
Hey it could be worse, you could be at one of the psych hospitals! Poor fuckers are running at 400%+ capacity on a good day. They’re so overtaxed they’re turfing people from forensic beds, and anyone that isnt a critical emergent case is never getting admitted. It’s so much fun!
