Argus Posted May 6, 2017 Report Posted May 6, 2017 I wasn't sure where this belonged, but as the internet is now a form of entertainment, and is having a profound impact on our culture, I decided this was the place. I also thought it might liven this site up just a small bit if people would post the interesting, amusing, entertaining or weird things they'd come across on YouTube. Sometimes this can be an old concert from decades past, or a scuffle between protestors and police. It can be a screwed up news report, a comedy piece, or some bit of human drama you'd never find elsewhere. 3 Quote "A liberal is someone who claims to be open to all points of view — and then is surprised and offended to find there are other points of view.” William F Buckley
Argus Posted May 6, 2017 Author Report Posted May 6, 2017 (edited) This is a news report, complete with video, of an event which happened in a high school a little while back, where a teenage girl suffered a heart attack while playing volleyball. Human drama you seldom can find on our carefully scripted media.

Argus Posted May 6, 2017 Author Report Posted May 6, 2017 Fire trucks. There's just something about the sight of fire trucks responding which evokes drama on its own, without any words being said. 1 Quote "A liberal is someone who claims to be open to all points of view — and then is surprised and offended to find there are other points of view.” William F Buckley
Argus Posted May 6, 2017 Author Report Posted May 6, 2017 Speaking of fire trucks. This might have given pause to those sitting on the tarmack waiting to take off. 1 Quote "A liberal is someone who claims to be open to all points of view — and then is surprised and offended to find there are other points of view.” William F Buckley
DogOnPorch Posted May 6, 2017 Report Posted May 6, 2017 (edited) Smoke rings from Mt Etna...old. Edited May 6, 2017 by DogOnPorch 1 Quote Nothing cracks a turtle like Leon Uris.
Argus Posted May 6, 2017 Author Report Posted May 6, 2017 (edited) This is an interesting little piece of drama, a confrontation in Ottawa between a group of social justice warriors at Ottawa University trying to shut down a speech by a woman they didn't approve of, and their discussion with a really cool cop. Btw, what is with these people always feeling the need to wear masks anyway?

Argus Posted May 6, 2017 Author Report Posted May 6, 2017 There was a gas explosion in a building in New York, and this is the amateur video in the immediate aftermath. 1 Quote "A liberal is someone who claims to be open to all points of view — and then is surprised and offended to find there are other points of view.” William F Buckley
Argus Posted May 6, 2017 Author Report Posted May 6, 2017 A classy video of the drive into Toronto at night. The city certainly has changed since I was last there. 2 Quote "A liberal is someone who claims to be open to all points of view — and then is surprised and offended to find there are other points of view.” William F Buckley
DogOnPorch Posted May 6, 2017 Report Posted May 6, 2017 An example of Cherenkov Radiation...created where the phased velocity of light is exceeded in the medium it is passing though...water in this case. Quote Nothing cracks a turtle like Leon Uris.
DogOnPorch Posted May 6, 2017 Report Posted May 6, 2017 A clip from BBC's infamous 1955 Mescaline experiment with Dr Humphry Osmond...the fellow who coined the word "psychedelic". Quote Nothing cracks a turtle like Leon Uris.

Argus Posted May 6, 2017 Author Report Posted May 6, 2017 This is a funny Bill Maher rant on 'right to carry' Americans, those odd people who insist on carrying assault rifles with them when they go for their groceries.

Argus Posted May 6, 2017 Author Report Posted May 6, 2017 This is a video taken in San Fransisco from a cable car running down market street. I found it kind of weird, realizing every single person in the video was dead, including the little kids, and wondered what happened when the earthquake hit four days later. 2 Quote "A liberal is someone who claims to be open to all points of view — and then is surprised and offended to find there are other points of view.” William F Buckley
Argus Posted May 6, 2017 Author Report Posted May 6, 2017 A little fire in Toronto. Probably never even made the news. 1 Quote "A liberal is someone who claims to be open to all points of view — and then is surprised and offended to find there are other points of view.” William F Buckley
Argus Posted May 6, 2017 Author Report Posted May 6, 2017 I thought this was pretty cool. An old cop yelling at two idiots getting into it on the highway.

Argus Posted May 6, 2017 Author Report Posted May 6, 2017 (edited) More road rage from Toronto. Took a while for police to arrive for this one. Everyone seemed to be enjoying the show until the woman got hit.

Argus Posted May 6, 2017 Author Report Posted May 6, 2017 This is bodycam video of a cop trying to avoid killing a crazy guy with a knife. He winds up shooting him but the guy survives. It turns how he was wanted for murder.

DogOnPorch Posted May 6, 2017 Report Posted May 6, 2017 Timeless classic. Quote Nothing cracks a turtle like Leon Uris.
Argus Posted May 6, 2017 Author Report Posted May 6, 2017 Pink Floyd loved to play with light. This is early 90s technology, and I can't help thinking anyone in the audience who was on drugs (likely most) would have gotten their minds blown by all of this. If you don't like David Gilmour's long guitar solo skip to the 7 minute mark.

Argus Posted May 7, 2017 Author Report Posted May 7, 2017 (edited) A little road rage in Vancouver. And very quick police response.

Argus Posted May 7, 2017 Author Report Posted May 7, 2017 This happened in Vancouver but I don't know for sure what the background was. Obviously the police were after this woman for some reason and suspected she might be armed.

Argus Posted May 7, 2017 Author Report Posted May 7, 2017 Snowflakes being forcibly removed from Portland city hall by police. Endless fun!
