I think at this point the options are being narrowed down by the gov't, no matter how you and I and John Q would prefer to handle it.

When people are shot on the streets just because (or perhaps to inspire terror and lessen opposition to fascist administration) it is time to do something about this I would say.

Yes, it does seem like the administration of the Great Pumpkin is forcing the issue.

I've said it several times before: We are living in interesting times.

I don't often cross-post here and at AD, but this story rather demanded it:

The anonymous Englishman who managed to lodge a 2-inch-wide World War II anti-tank shell inside his rectum back in 2021 has been unseated.

The phrase “shell shocked” took on new meaning over the weekend when a 24-year-old Frenchman hobbled into Rangueil Hospital in Toulouse, France, complaining of unspecified pain.

Rushed into surgery, the doctors soon discovered that the source of the “unspecified pain” turned out to be an 8-inch long 37mm brass-and copper shell used by the Imperial German Army in the late stages of the Great War.

According to the French newspaper La Dépêche, the medical staff in Toulouse are “accustomed to treating victims injured during sexual games,” but are understandably unused to dislodging centuries-old munitions from rectums.

“He was in a state of extreme discomfort, having inserted a large object up his rectum,” said an investigating source, stating the obvious.

The artillery shell, unexploded at the time of the removal, resulted in the evacuation of the hospital, with an explosive ordnance disposal squad called to the hospital to ensure the munition was not in danger of detonating within the individual’s personal hurt locker.

France is currently edging the British in its centuries-old rivalry, as this is not the first time a Frenchman has married munition with derrière.

In 2022, an 88-year-old patient visited Hospital Sainte Musse in Toulon stunning doctors when they removed what turned out to be a WWI-era French munition measuring 8 inches long and more than 2 inches wide — from the man’s rectum. Surgeons were forced to cut open his abdomen in order to remove the hefty relic due to the shell’s considerably above-average size.

“An apple, a mango, or even a can of shaving foam, we are used to finding unusual objects inserted where they shouldn’t be,” one doctor reported. “But a shell? Never!”

^ Medical instruments only, here, and under protest. That's supposed to be a one-way deal.

"Seriously, Doc, I fell on it!"

Okay, I'm not going to be polite here.

I know people are weird and insert all types of things up their arses -I don't really know why, with some things - but a fucking artillery shell??

From WW1??

Still with an explosive charge???

[Fake Messiah]

Not to mention that it happens quite frequently.

An army bomb squad rushed to a English hospital after a man was admitted with a WWII-era munition shell stuck in his rectum, according to local police.

The Army Explosive Ordnance Disposal team rushed to Gloucestershire Royal Hospital following “a report that a patient had with a munition in his rectum,” police told The Sun on Thursday.

“The item had been removed prior to police arrival and the Army’s Explosive Ordnance Disposal team were contacted,” said authorities, who confirmed that the round was not live.

The incident was confirmed to the outlet by the UK’s Ministry of Defense.

Sources told The Sun that the man said he had “slipped and fell” on the 2.2-inch shell, typically fired from WWII anti-tank artillery guns. The round was reportedly from his own personal collection of military memorabilia.

A French hospital was partially evacuated Saturday after a senior citizen arrived with a World War I artillery shell lodged in his rectum.

The 88-year-old patient visited Hospital Sainte Musse in Toulon to have the antique explosive removed — but instead sparked a “bomb scare,” French publication Var-Matin reported.

“An emergency occurred from 9 p.m. to 11:30 p.m. on Saturday evening that required the intervention of bomb disposal personnel, the evacuation of adult and pediatric emergencies as well as the diversion of incoming emergencies,” a hospital spokesperson stated.

“We had to manage the risk in a reactive framework,” the rep added. “When in doubt, we took all the precautions.”
