Quite true. I take all news with a massive grain of salt. I used to put a lot more effort into it by looking up multiple news sources of different slants to get the full picture. But aside from being time consuming it was also very depressing, so I stopped.
I am just ending a near total news blackout that had lasted almost three years. Probably has something to do with an upcoming provincial election.

*sigh* And these are held how? Are there straps on the back to turn them into an ersatz Captain America Shield?
Also I saw nothing in the article about whether it was good for any round heavier than a 9 mm. I'll place long odds that it would not stop a rifle shot like that used at several shootings especially at short range so WTF? I mean really?

If I remember correctly, many nations police departments have riot shields made of bulletproof (Germany, Greece, and some US PD's) glass that are able to deflect something as powerful as a .45 ACP. Something like a .44 magnum, not so much.

Instant beer? Uh, no thanks.Damn chemists taking all the fun and good out of everything. The fuck? That shit would be worse than Keystone Light (which is actually Coors Light that didn't make the cut. Think about that.). If I'm making beer in my home, I'm doing it right.

Holy moly. I hope the rest of the testing goes as well as this phase 1. I feel like I don't know enough to tell whether I should be just interested in this or wildly excited.

Naw... I'm sure that makeup will come off before the police get anywhere near.

So is this the start of the English Insane Clown posse? Is this revenge for the Americans that stole the Hairy Bikers from us?
