So some guy makes an animation of a cartoonish aircraft. Fine, great, wonderful. But it’s getting an unreasonable amount of press from mainstream media who think that this is actually a serious “design” rather than what it is… just a cartoon.

It may or may not be good from a modeling and animation point of view, but it is clearly not something to be taken even remotely seriously from an engineering point of view. You might as well debate the merits of a spaceship that showed up in a “Far Side” comic.

This is modern “journalism.” The same trade that’s telling us that Trump “lunged” from the back of a limo and tried to yoink the steering wheel. Same people told us to believe without evidence “Russia collusion” and “Jan 6 was worse than 9-11.”

So here we have a smooth-brained genius somewhere in India deciding that the obvious thing to do is to physically assault a cop who already has his revolver drawn. One shot, followed by a lot of caterwauling. Note to Hollywood: getting shot seems wholly un-fun, and it instantly changes the mood and tone. It is unlikely to be the sort of thing one just shrugs off.

And for those other bright sparks who constantly question “why don’t the police just aim for the legs” every time some moron serves as a bullet sponge… *this* guy caught a bullet in the leg. One bullet. Take a look at how quickly he’s spewing precious bodily fluids. I don’t know any more about this story by this one video (i.e. squadoo), but if he didn’t receive *prompt* medical attention, his next appearance in the paper was likely an obituary.

This is for those in a particularly *nasty* mood. In short, a thief decides to rob a place, gets surprised by the neighbors, takes a tumble from the second story and impales himself on the spike-topped fence. And doesn’t die… not immediately, anyway, and not before making a lot of unhappy sounds.

Should you feel bad over someone who has been multiply skewered? If it was just some guy, sure. But it seems this feller’s a criminal. So… up to you, I suppose. If the story is accurate, this is a guy who intentionally set out to make the world a worse place, and ended up stuck on top of a gate. Surprisingly strong lungs for someone who looks like he should have steel spikes driven eight inches through at least on of ’em. The people standing around filing him seem pretty nonchalant.

What do we learn from this? Maybe one lesson might be to not be a burglar. Just a thought.
