Transgender axe attacker split man's face in HALF in rampage after bad Tinder date

 

A TRANSGENDER axe attacker split a man's face in half in a horrific rampage at a petrol station after a bad Tinder date.

She has been jailed for four-and-a-half years – with her lawyer blaming the sex change operation.
Her legal team claimed the operation had left her in immense pain and fuelled her desire to kill strangers.

So the PC crowd pushing for gender change in minors won't learn anything from this.

That makes more sense, screwed up again.

Good Morning!

I bought my wife two of those cups.  One to use and one to replace the one being used when it's broken.  

I hung the spare on a plastic hook by the handle for storage.  After about 4/6 months, the cup had a crack in the outer glass shell surrounding the handle.  It broke from a very small constant stress over time.  I found this very interesting.  One day I will have to buy her a replacement, but the one in use is still fine.  No, there is no point in this post, just an interesting event.

Free of money, but as Churchill said, “blood, tears, toil, and sweat.”  

Or as Heinlein said, TANSTAAFL.  (There ain’t no such thing as a free lunch!)

They had one for UGA, as well.

I got the "old GI Bill" (beat the cutoff by two days). They paid pretty much the whole cost of tuition, room, and board. Being naturally frugal after life as a GI, I lived like a king.

Same here.  Depends a lot on when you were in on they amount paid.

The magazine says "45ACP" on it, so I don't think it's a 9mm.  

I’m not sure what to think about that barrel.

no chamber, no fracture. Looks almost beaten. 

But that bore isn’t a 45

The bore is pointed away, so you can’t see the bore.  The pistol shows 1911, the mag shows .45.  The chamber shows a cartridge out of battery with the primer blown out.  Looking closely at the cartridge, it is showing a .4?, either a 0 or a 5.  So it either blew with a .45 cartridge, or a .40 cartridge.  If the latter, then the pistol blew up unable to handle the wimpy .40 cartridge.

Need more and better pics

if that’s a case head blown out, then it was very likely a reload problem, not a 1911 problem.

The .40 has what, twice the pressure of. 45 ACP, doesn't it?

Case looks fine, just the primer blown out.  And just like most of these things, GLOCK, 1911, or whatever, most likely operator error. Just having some fun.

Don’t know, don’t care.  Don’t blame the gun as the odds are operator did it.

True enough, and a .45 will blow from a double charge or obstructed barrel as easy as anything else will.
