Вы б тоже защищали служителя правопорядка, если б он сбил участника какой-нибудь демонстрации протеста велосипедистов (велосипедистов-то за что?)

Или, дорогие иммигранты, речь о том, что это ж наш дорогой американский полицейский, а вы - большие сторонники правопорядка, а пидорасов, противников войны и борцов с глобальным потеплением надо бить дубиной, т.к. они США развалить хотят?

Вон гуманнейший господин Лужин из Сан Франциско вдруг так горячо взвился, что хоть в Ирак его посылай родину защищать.

П.С. Я бывыл по обе стороны этих баррикад. Бывало, гнался за задерживаемым и сбивал его с ног. В чём теперь искренне раскаиваюсь. Бывало, ставил велосипед поперёк дороги и начинал его чинить, блокируя проезд ментам, когда они гнались за Сашей Богдановым во время митинга. Что теперь с удовольствием вспоминаю.

Canadians: "This is a lighthouse. Your call."

A well-known meme, pandemic in 1995-1996.

ACTUAL transcript of a US naval ship with Canadian authorities off the coast of Newfoundland in October, 1995. This radio conversation was released by the Chief of Naval Operations on 10-10-95. Americans: "Please divert your course 15 degrees to the North to avoid a collision." Canadians: "Recommend you divert YOUR course 15 degrees to the South to avoid a collision." Americans: "This is the captain of a US Navy ship. I say again, divert YOUR course." Canadians: "No, I say again, you divert YOUR course." Americans: "THIS IS THE AIRCRAFT CARRIER USS ABRAHAM LINCOLN, THE SECOND LARGEST SHIP IN THE UNITED STATES' ATLANTIC FLEET. WE ARE ACCOMPANIED BY THREE DESTROYERS, THREE CRUISERS AND NUMEROUS SUPPORT VESSELS. I DEMAND THAT YOU CHANGE YOUR COURSE 15 DEGREES NORTH. THAT'S ONE-FIVE DEGREES NORTH, OR COUNTER MEASURES WILL BE UNDERTAKEN TO ENSURE THE SAFETY OF THIS SHIP." Canadians: "This is a lighthouse. Your call."

from a 1939 book:

The fog was very thick, and the Chief Officer of the tramp steamer was peering over the side of the bridge. Suddenly, to his intense surprise, he saw a man leaning over a rail, only a few yards away.



"You confounded fool!" he roared. "Where the devil do you think your ship's going? Don't you know I've got the right of way?"




Out of the gloom came a sardonic voice:



"This ain't no blinkin' ship, guv'nor. This 'ere's a light'ouse!"

In March 2008, Mike McConnell, the Director of National Intelligence in the U.S., opened his remarks to The Johns Hopkins University's Foreign Affairs Symposium with the lighthouse story, claiming, "Now this is ... true. I was in the signals intelligence business where you listen to the people talk and so on. This is true. It’s an actual recording."

SCO's Response to Judge Kimball's Ruling of July 16, 2008

We are reviewing today’s ruling by Judge Dale Kimball with our counsel
and will be assessing the next steps over the coming days and weeks.
This ruling is an important step in our ability to pursue the appeals to
try to get all of our claims heard by a jury as soon as possible. We are
pleased, however, that the court agreed that Novell is not entitled to
anywhere near the more than $20 million dollars it was seeking.
Importantly, the court ruled that Novell has no right to any royalties
from UnixWare or OpenServer sales by SCO, which is where the bulk of
SCO’s revenue is earned. This is also an important step forward in the
capitalization and reorganization plan for SCO that will allow us to
emerge from Chapter 11. We continue to disagree with the premise of this
trial and believe that Novell is not owed anything, but that they have
interfered with SCO's UNIX rights.

the idiots

Here's the funny stuff: their chapter 11 filing
