An Oregon man, whose body disintegrated in a scalding Yellowstone National Park geyser this spring, was trying to find a place to "hot pot" when he slipped into a thermal pool, officials have revealed. Unforgiving, according to the official report, in part because of the extreme heat and intense acidity of the water.
The report said Scott slipped and fell into a thermal feature in the Porkchop Geyser area of the park after reaching in to check the temperature.
In vain, his sister Sable Scott ran to get help. "In a very short order, there was a significant amount of dissolving," Veress said.
Scott died in the superheated, acidic mud pot. Remains were not able to be recovered.

"Half the harm that is done in this world is due to people who want to feel important. They don't mean to do harm -- but the harm does not interest them. Or they do not see it, or they justify it because they are absorbed in the endless struggle to think well of themselves." – T.S. Eliot
"The right of self defence is the first law of nature: in most governments it has been the study of rulers to confine this right within the narrowest limits possible. Wherever standing armies are kept up, and the right of the people to keep and bear arms is, under any colour or pretext whatsoever, prohibited, liberty, if not already annihilated, is on the brink of destruction." - St. George Tucker
A careful definition of words would destroy half the agenda of the political left and scrutinizing evidence would destroy the other half. - Thomas Sowell
"To ban guns because criminals use them is to tell the innocent and law-abiding that their rights and liberties depend not on their own conduct, but on the conduct of the guilty and the lawless, and that the law will permit them to have only such rights and liberties as the lawless will allow...
For society does not control crime, ever, by forcing the law-abiding to accommodate themselves to the expected behavior of criminals. Society controls crime by forcing the criminals to accommodate themselves to the expected behavior of the law-abiding." - Jeff Snyder
Personal weapons are what raised mankind out of the mud, and the rifle is the queen of personal weapons. The possession of a good rifle, as well as the skill to use it well, truly makes a man the monarch of all he surveys. It realizes the ancient dream of the Jovian thunderbolt, and as such it is the embodiment of personal power. For this reason it exercises a curious influence over the minds of most men, and in its best examples it constitutes an object of affection unmatched by any other inanimate object.

Madison County State's Attorney Tom Gibbons said this case should serve as a warning to criminals. If you're coming to the Metro East to break the law, you could end up staring down the barrel of a gun. (...)"Two individuals rolled up next to them in a vehicle, asked for directions, and when they had their attention, took out a firearm," Gibbons said.
Gibbons said the veteran responded by opening fire with a concealed weapon, killing one suspect — 19-year-old Billy Dickerson — and injuring the other — 23-year-old Perry Richardson.
Looks like he saved the taxpayers a bunch of money, too...
Quote:
Gibbons said both suspects were wanted for other violent crimes across the bi-state that could now see some closure.
"We're able to probably, I believe, able to solve possibly dozens of other armed robberies in the area."

Guy without CPL empties his mag into a truck at 6 am, then goes to gym without calling cops, and is not arrested? Shenanigans. Shooter knew his attacker and has made a deal. All I can imagine to explain reporter's recitation of the "facts."

"Unloaded a full "clip". The gun wasn't "registered or have a permit for it"? So much fail. What dumb ass would rob a jogger? If I were a "jogger" (not happening anytime soon) the only thing I would carry is a gun, and CPL.
