Real Life / Crazy Awesome - TV Tropes
If you thought the fallout from the EBT crash this past weekend was bad, imagine what could happen next month when these new government directives are.
In the dashcam video of the encounter, Bland repeatedly asks Encinia why he is arresting her, and he never gives a clear answer. Although she was charged with.
Joshua Norton , AKA the "Emperor of these United States and Protector of Mexico" was celebrated in the mid-to-late 1800s as one of these by the people of San Francisco, and is generally considered the patron saint of lovable crazies everywhere. The residents of San Francisco treated "Norton I" as if he really were an Emperor, and some 30,000 people (at a time when San Francisco's population was less than 235,000) attended his funeral. Heck, we have even put him on the Crowning Moment of Awesome page! So crazy awesome is Emperor Norton that the Discordians (a religion more or less dedicated to becoming more Crazy Awesome) had to create a special category for non-fictional homo-sapiens deserving sainthood ("Saint, Second Class") just so St. Norton could be canonized. A census taker once tried to question him. He listed his occupation as "Emperor". He was once arrested in order to commit him to involuntary treatment for a mental disorder. The arrest outraged the citizens and sparked scathing editorials in the newspapers and the police chief eventually released him, reasoning that he may be a wackjob, but he wasn't dangerous, which was more than the chief could say for his peers. Norton granted an "official pardon" to the arresting officer. From that day until his death, the San Francisco police saluted him whenever he passed. Once, during an anti-Chinese riot he knelt on the street between a rioting mob and the Chinese ghetto, bowed his head and recited the Lord's Prayer until the rioters dispersed. Additionally, he issued his own currency. Legitimate business accepted this currency! His memorable appearance in The Sandman where he gets the better of Desire of the Endless, essentially a god of mind control, through the clarity of his madness. Lt. Colonel Jack Churchill , who fought in WWII with a longbow and claymore, while carrying his bagpipes. When he was eventually captured, the Germans put him in the Sachsenhausen concentration camp, which he later escaped from. After recapture, Churchill was transferred to another camp. He and the other prisoners were eventually released and Churchill walked something like 90 miles to Italy, where he met up with an American armored force. When the war was over, he simply expressed disappointment, citing that he could have kept going for 10 years. He once was on a mission where most of his team had been killed, and only he and six others were left, and an entire battalion of Germans were advancing. The Germans started hammering them with mortars, killing everyone but Churchill. Knowing he had no chance of fighting them and living (and how could he kill more Germans if he was dead?), he instead whipped out his bagpipes and started playing "Will Ye No Come Back Again?" The reason why he wore his claymore (Basket hilt type not the two handed Bravehart type one)to battle? An officer is out of uniform if he doesn't carry a sword. He is also known for making the only recorded kill of World War II with a longbow. On the same note, Walter Cowan, 1871-1956. British admiral who first served as a gunboat commander in Queen Victoria's time. He then commanded a battle cruiser in World War One. It is said that he spent his leave in the trenches and cried when the war ended. In WW2, he helped train the Commandos and was captured in Africa, attacking an Italian tank solely with his revolver. On being repatriated out of mercy, he rejoined and fought again in Italy in 1944. The Molasses Gang was a gang from New York during the 1870s. They would ask the owner of the shop to fill their hat with molasses (saying it was a bet to see how much would fit). When the hat was full the gangster would shove the hat onto the shop owner and take what they wanted with no resistance. Also Refuge in Audacity, they were able to do it for six years because nobody took them seriously. Mark Cuban took a desire to follow Indiana Hoosier basketball from Dallas and turned it into a multi-billion dollar internet business. Then he got out of that business just before the bubble burst. Then he lived out every sports fan's dream by buying his favorite team just because he doesn't like how it was being run. Within a couple of years he turned the Dallas Mavericks from the NBA laughingstock to a contender and, eventually, champions. Oh, and he's still willing to act like a die-hard fan in the stands even though the league can fine him for his remarks. Not like any fine they can hand down would matter to a multi-billionaire, after all. Andre Gregory from My Dinner With Andre. If he was not insane the movie would be just two guys having a meal. According to Bill Murray, cinematographer Christopher Doyle. He refers to himself as Super Chris, or may be referred to as Sir Christopher. He wears platform shoes while working, and, while living in Hong Kong, he lived across from the world's longest escalator. He would strip naked for all of the escalator riders to see. By the time they got off, they would forget which building he was on. He is also an immensely talented cinematographer who has won awards for his work on numerous American and Hong Kong films. Billy Bob Thornton: Firmly believes he was Benjamin Franklin in a past life, and he directed Sling Blade, and was married for two years to... Angelina Jolie, herself a little bit of Crazy Awesome. Steve Irwin. He constantly got a bit too close to snakes, crocodiles, sharks and many other dangerous animals almost on a daily basis, and not only wasn't afraid about doing it, he was more excited than a five-year-old. Joe Davis. Part scientist, part avant-garde artist. To quote a Cracked article featuring him: "He has a map of the Milky Way broken down into a series of base DNA pairs, and is coding it into transgenic lab-mice. He insists on landing microbes like Marlin... because he considers it "only sporting". In protest of what he viewed as censorship, Davis beamed his own, female-friendly version of the famous Arecibo Message toward a distant star cluster. He stuck microphones inside the vaginas of the entire Boston Ballet, and shot the sound of them contracting into space." Just to give Carl Sagan the finger!!! He also is building "a memorial for hurricane victims that happens to be a 10-story tall tower in Mississippi that harnesses the excess electrical nitrogen in the air brought on by lightning storms and fires it back into the storm in the form of a giant laser." He got it from his mom, Eleanor of Aquitaine . She was more Awesome than Crazy, and a side order of Refuge in Audacity when you consider women had no legal standing in the era. Insisted on joining her first husband on a Crusade tour, marched with the vanguard, and argued for a plan that would have caught the Muslim army off-guard, possibly winning the Second Crusade. (Louis ended up throwing her in prison instead and got his ass handed to him with his bad tactics) She brought the beginnings of Admiralty Law with her to France and England, and actively helped (and/or encouraged) her sons' revolt against her husband, leading to another period of house arrest. She ruled England as regent when her son was off Crusading, and personally traveled to Germany to bail him out when he was captured. And, called out The Pope himself when she thought he was not acting with enough urgency to aid in securing Richard's release! And did NOT get excommunicated for that. Werner Forssman- A medical student who wanted to learn more about the heart, but decided the usual method, dissection of specimen from a corpse, wasn't enough. No, he decided he was going to study a living heart by jamming two feet of cable into a person's circulatory system. The Crazy Awesome part? He used his own . Theodore Roosevelt. Just look for yourself . The man was a walking Chuck Norris meme! 2nd Lt. Audie Murphy is the most decorated American soldier of WWII and the epitome of crazy awesome! Just read his Medal of Honor citation: 2d Lt. Murphy commanded Company B, which was attacked by 6 tanks and waves of infantry. 2d Lt. Murphy ordered his men to withdraw to prepared positions in a woods, while he remained forward at his command post and continued to give fire directions to the artillery by telephone. Behind him, to his right, 1 of our tank destroyers received a direct hit and began to burn. Its crew withdrew to the woods. 2d Lt. Murphy continued to direct artillery fire which killed large numbers of the advancing enemy infantry. With the enemy tanks abreast of his position, 2d Lt. Murphy climbed on the burning tank destroyer, which was in danger of blowing up at any moment, and employed its .50 caliber machine gun against the enemy. He was alone and exposed to German fire from 3 sides, but his deadly fire killed dozens of Germans and caused their infantry attack to waver. The enemy tanks, losing infantry support, began to fall back. For an hour the Germans tried every available weapon to eliminate 2d Lt. Murphy, but he continued to hold his position and wiped out a squad which was trying to creep up unnoticed on his right flank. Germans reached as close as 10 yards, only to be mowed down by his fire. He received a leg wound, but ignored it and continued the single-handed fight until his ammunition was exhausted. He then made his way to his company, refused medical attention, and organized the company in a counterattack which forced the Germans to withdraw. His directing of artillery fire wiped out many of the enemy; he killed or wounded about 50. 2d Lt. Murphy's indomitable courage and his refusal to give an inch of ground saved his company from possible encirclement and destruction, and enabled it to hold the woods which had been the enemy's objective. He also bit his co-star, Karen Gillan, to get Enforced Method Acting, and the reason Steven Moffat had to kill The Fez was he feared Matt Smith would insist it become part of the Doctor's outfit... and wear it all the time out of character too. Matt Smith seems as Crazy Awesome as the Doctor he plays. Troy Hurtubise : Inventor, Canadian, and lunatic. He invested two decades and tens of thousands of dollars developing the Trojan armor to protect coalition soldiers (such as his own brother) from I.E.D.s. The Trojan is based on armor he developed for fighting bears, with input in equal amounts from real-life soldiers and the HALO games. He bankrupted himself developing it, and has thus far failed to attract the interest of any government. Yet in live fire tests, the Trojan has been strapped to a lump of wet clay, taken multiple rounds at point-blank range from a 9mm pistol, a .357, and a 12-gauge shotgun, without so much as a dent in the clay underneath (which he then demonstrated was soft enough for his finger to gouge a fissure into). Just in case there's still doubt as to whether or not he's worthy of the Crazy Awesome tag, it should be noted that the Trojan armor includes a solar-powered air-conditioned helmet. In order to test another one of his inventions, the heat-resistant clay he calls "fire paste," Hurtubise smeared it on his own face, let it dry, and then aimed a blowtorch at it. For ten minutes. He claims to have developed a device which can make solid objects, like walls, stealth shielding, and HIS OWN HAND transparent. It also fries electronic devices and kills goldfish. John Brown ◊ the abolitionist. Favored a type of rifle known as the Bible, and split five slaveholders' heads open with a BROADSWORD. When he was caught and had to be put to death by the North, he quietly told his captors that all he wanted to do was help those who couldn't be helped and if he had to be put to death, then so be it. Frank Zappa. Moon Unit, Dweezil, Ahmet Rodan, Diva. Watch Out Where The Huskies Go And Don't You Eat That Yellow Snow. Billy the Mountain. Magdalena. Poofter's Froth Wyoming Plans Ahead. We're Only in It for the Money. Frank Zappa And The Mothers Of Prevention. Ship Arriving Too Late To Save a Drowning Witch. Lumpy Gravy. Brown Shoes Don't Make It. Absolutely Free. And before anything else, he was noted for a phone conversation with Edgar Varese while still a teen, and serving ten days in jail (before he became famous) for producing an "obscene" audio recording—an experience for which he never forgave the Los Angeles Police Department. And yet, dying of cancer, he managed to come across as almost saintly. He is missed. God Almighty, he is missed. He had a telepathic pet bug named after him in SpiritOfRedemption. Andrew Hussie puts an insane amount of work into Homestuck, purely for the art. Considering that Homestuck itself is more or less Crazy Awesome: The Series, not to mention what Hussie's earlier work is like, it makes one wonder... From the memoir Tokyo Vice by Jake Adelstein, it mentions that one group of thieves in Japan used little stickers of smiley faces and Hello Kitty to cover up the holes they drilled in a wall when doing a job so no one would no anything was amiss. Upon being shown a flamethrower for the first time, he is reported to have asked where the bayonet was supposed to go. Sources vary as to the exact quote, but at the Battle of Chosin Reservoir , when he was informed that he was surrounded by 67,000 Chinese troops, he said some variation of "We're surrounded. That simplifies the problem." It takes a special brand of Crazy Awesome to decide that being surrounded and outnumbered more than two-to-one is a good thing. It takes an even more rarified brand of crazy awesome to then win the battle. On an inspection tour, he once demanded to be taken to the brig so that he could meet the "real Marines." English football player Terry Butcher got wounded during the World Championship qualifier in Sweden 1989. He got a nasty cut in the head, but stitches and bandages didn't stop him from keeping playing. He bled throughout the game until his white shirt turned red . George Patton had a tank named after him and popular myth holds that he spent some time in the war shooting down enemy aircraft with his trademark ivory handled revolver. Though it is accepted that this tale is apocryphal, it should be noted that it's generally agreed that it is the sort of thing that Patton might have done. The general went far out of his way to appear larger-than-life to inspire his troops. The Allies actually managed to weaponize this image in the prelude to Operation Overlord. Relying in part on Patton's trademark image and bluster—along with decoy trucks and tanks—to bluff the Axis into believing that the Allies were going to land at Calais rather than their actual target, Normandy. After all, a man like Patton would obviously be leading the cross-channel invasion, right? The Nazis certainly thought so. Admiral Charles "Swede" Momsen of the United States Navy was a decorated combat officer who commanded submarines and the battleship USS South Dakota with distinction during the Second World War. His contributions to science, medicine, and deep-sea rescue, however, made him Crazy Awesome: While studying decompression sickness for the Navy, Momsen devised the first mixed-gas diving rigs (in this case, oxygen/helium) and through trial-and-error, developed the first protocols for safe mixed-gas diving. That's awesome enough, but the crazy part came from testing the mixtures on himself. He methodically and repeatedly gave himself the bends to research ways to avoid getting the bends. In 1939, he rescued the survivors of a disabled submarine, the USS Squalus (SS-192). Rescuing 33 sailors trapped 70 meters below the surface is amazing enough, but that could have never happened without two critical pieces of equipment: the diving rescue bell, and the Submarine Escape Lung (an early rebreather); both of which Momsen, himself, invented. He also, incidentally, recovered the submarine, itself; which was repaired, renamed Sailfish, and went on to fight in the Pacific during World War II.

Jacob Sullum|Jul. 22, 2015 6:39 am Spritz Texas DPSAs Brian Doherty noted last night, it seems clear that Sandra Bland, who died by hanging in a Texas jail on July 13, would not have been arrested if she had not rebuffed a state trooper's request that she put out a cigarette after she was pulled over for changing lanes without signaling. But smoking in your own car is legal in Texas, so what offense did Trooper Brian Encinia think Bland had committed when he declared that she was under arrest? In the dashcam video of the encounter, Bland repeatedly asks Encinia why he is arresting her, and he never gives a clear answer. Although she was charged with assaulting a police officer, the supposed assault occurred after Encinia announced that she was under arrest, forced her out of her car by pointing a stun gun at her, and handcuffed her. So what was the initial justification for arresting her? Possibly Encinia had in mind Chapter 542, Section 501 of the Texas Statutes, which says "a person may not willfully fail or refuse to comply with a lawful order or direction of a police officer." In the video Encinia repeatedly says Bland has refused to comply with his lawful command to exit the vehicle, which is what leads him to threaten her with his stun gun, saying, "Get out of the car! I will light you up. Get out!" Bland says he has no legal right to demand that she leave her car based on a minor traffic infraction. Encinia insists he does have that authority. Sadly, Encinia seems to be right, thanks to Pennsylvania v. Mimms, a 1977 decision in which the U.S. Supreme Court said a police officer may order a legally detained motorist out of his car at will. The case involved a man named Harry Mimms, who was stopped by Philadelphia police for driving a car with expired tags. After Mimms was ordered out of his car, the officer noticed a suspicious bulge under his jacket that turned out to be a gun. Mimms was charged with illegal possession of a concealed firearm, and he tried to have the gun excluded as evidence by arguing that it was obtained in violation of the Fourth Amendment's ban on "unreasonable searches and seizures." The Pennsylvania Supreme Court agreed, saying the officer needed some specific reason, beyond the traffic violation that resulted in the stop, to force Mimms out of his car. The U.S. Supreme Court disagreed, saying general concerns about officer safety are enough to justify such an order: The State freely concedes the officer had no reason to suspect foul play from the particular driver at the time of the stop, there having been nothing unusual or suspicious about his behavior. It was apparently his practice to order all drivers out of their vehicles as a matter of course whenever they had been stopped for a traffic violation. The State argues that this practice was adopted as a precautionary measure to afford a degree of protection to the officer, and that it may be justified on that ground. Establishing a face-to-face confrontation diminishes the possibility, otherwise substantial, that the driver can make unobserved movements; this, in turn, reduces the likelihood that the officer will be the victim of an assault. We think it too plain for argument that the State's proffered justification—the safety of the officer—is both legitimate and weighty.... The hazard of accidental injury from passing traffic to an officer standing on the driver's side of the vehicle may also be appreciable in some situations. Rather than conversing while standing exposed to moving traffic, the officer prudently may prefer to ask the driver of the vehicle to step out of the car and off onto the shoulder of the road where the inquiry may be pursued with greater safety to both. Against this important interest, we are asked to weigh the intrusion into the driver's personal liberty occasioned not by the initial stop of the vehicle, which was admittedly justified, but by the order to get out of the car. We think this additional intrusion can only be described as de minimis. Encinia apparently did not have a general practice of making drivers get out of their cars, as you can see in the traffic stop that preceded Bland's. Furthermore, he did not tell Bland to get out of her car until she refused to put out her cigarette, saying, "I'm in my car. Why do I have to put out my cigarette?" Maybe Encinia had a safety concern related to secondhand smoke. More likely, he was annoyed by what he perceived as Bland's failure to respect his authority. He later told her that he had been ready to let her go with a warning and that she had only herself to blame for the way the encounter ended. Others disagree, as The New York Times notes : State legislators who saw the video...just before it was publicly released sharply condemned the officer's behavior, which the director of the Texas Department of Public Safety, Steven McCraw, said was a violation of department arrest procedures. State Senator Royce West, Democrat of Dallas, said Ms. Bland, 28, should never have been taken into custody. State Representative Helen Giddings, Democrat of Dallas, said, "This young woman should be alive today." The Texas Department of Public Safety says Encinia, who has been assigned to administrative duties while the arrest is investigated, "violated the department's procedures regarding traffic stops and the department's courtesy policy," although it's not clear exactly what that means. Based on their comments in the video, Encinia and Bland clearly agreed that the escalation from warning to arrest was ridiculous, but they had diametrically opposed views of who was to blame. If only Bland had been more respectful and cooperative, Encinia thought, she could have been on her way. If only Encinia had not been so determined to assert his authority for its own sake, Bland thought, he never would have forced her out of the car, let alone handcuffed her and knocked her down. They were both right. Knowing that police work tends to attract more than its share of authoritarian bullies, Bland could have hidden her annoyance at being pulled over after switching lanes to let Encinia pass. She could have meekly complied with his instructions, in which case she probably would still be alive (whether or not she actually killed herself in her cell, as a coroner concluded, or was the victim of foul play, as her family suspects). But it is hardly surprising than an activist against police abuse would bridle at the expectation that she simply do as she was told, even though that expectation has been endorsed by the Supreme Court. "hey have to be able to magically perceive all the exceptions to the Constitution that aren't actually written into the Constitution." It's more complicated than that. They also have to be able to pretend some of the things written in the constitution were never really there at all while recognizing other things that weren't there really are. It's almost as if to be a supreme court justice you must believe 6 impossible things before breakfast every day. Yeah, it's my fault she got killed cause I was all "yes sir, no sir" the other day when I got stopped buy the MI State Cop... ...and was released with a warning for doing 90 in a 70. My self preservation instincts prevent me from making a poltiical stand over a stupid traffic stop. If you don't want to do that- hey, it's a free country. UnCivilServant|7.22.15 @ 8:36AM |# I propose no traffic citation can be given if no collision occurs. All violation level offenses are insufficient cause to stop a vehicle, and a misdeameanor or felony level stop which fails to turn up evidence of the initial cause for stopping the vehicle invalidates any violation level citations issued from that stop. I don't know about Texas, but many states have laws that a cop has to tell you why he's arresting you, if it isn't obvious, and it didn't seem obvious to Ms. Bland. In other words, assuming he was giving a lawful order, resistance to which was a crime, then in civilized jurisdictions he *still* has to explain this point. Because we don't live in the kind of country where a cop can arrest you without telling you why. Isn't that right? Because we don't live in the kind of country where a cop can arrest you without telling you why. Why would that matter? There's nothing you can legally do to challenge the arrest at that point. If the cop didn't have a valid reason you can get released under habeas corpus and later sue for false arrest. Bankrupting the fucking sheep will lead to one of two things: A revolution by vote or violence. Win. Sheep starving beneath their moral betters. Win. Though if it can be proven he was acting outside the scope of his duties, including agency policy, you can sue him INDIVIDUALLY for several lifetimes worth of income. A few pigs getting raped to death in Gen Pop, or living homeless in refrigerator cartons holding signs that say, "Will suck cock for food" would have some sort of effect on the rest of their "Brothers." Maybe they'd quit and the legalized street gang known as the police would disappear. Maybe they'd decide to abide by the letter of the law themselves rather than get raped or ruined. Either way, win. There are far too few downsides to being a politician or pig. Actual risk of life or freedom, as the rest of us face, will be positive for them. "If following the order harms you in some way ,..." This is what some thugs just don't quite understand - having your freedom violated *is* harm. "but if you require an officer to persuade the subject of the lawfulness of his or her order before it is complied with" Whether he persuades or not, in a free country he would be required to *notify* the peasant of the lawful basis for his order. For some reason, this case makes me sick to the pit of my stomach even more than usual. The only good I can take out of ALL these cases is that 1) they're been much more widely published and, consequently 2) people in general, who otherwise tend not to pay attention, are paying attention and sayinf, "WTF? Hang on..." Otherwise - this case in particular, and all "respect mah authoritah - OH! You di'n't, so you're DEAD" cases just make me more and more hopeless and ready for the revolution. *continues sharpening woodchipper blades * Why Was Sandra Bland Arrested? In this case, like many cases, Sandra Bland was arrested because the Police Officer got pissed off at her and decided to use the catch-all Disorderly conduct charge. I'm beginning to believe that police officers shouldn't be allowed to arrest anyone not committing a felony at this point. They are a bunch of stupid meat-heads and morons with ego problems. They've even started doing this to white people now. I question the whole notion that a cop should have the "right" to be obeyed under any circumstances. At most, it's a state-enumerated power, not a right. Further, it's not a good power to give them. There's a ton of evidence from individual cases across the country that the police often abuse their authority with no justification. Officers should only have the power to compel obedience when they have specific evidence of a crime. Lacking that, they should have the same restraints on demanding obedience that everyone else has. Also, Reason needs to update their commenting system. The idea that there should be no way to format a comment to make it more readable is arcane. sarcasmic|7.22.15 @ 9:18AM |# Police authority comes from their law enforcement duties. If they have no reason to suspect that a law has been broken, then they have no legal authority to tell anyone to do anything. None. Zippo. Nada. At that point they are just abusing their power. Though in practice it doesn't matter since they face no consequences whatsoever for abusing their power. The saddest thing in all of these senseless, stupid encounters that end badly is that the solution is so, so simple: remove immunity for police officers. That's it. Voila. Problem fixed. The moment they face the same liability as the rest of us for their actions, that they are accountable, all of this changes. Their behavior changes to be just like the rest of ours. I mean, how is it not obvious that when you reduce the odds of a cop ever being prosecuted, sued, or even losing a day's pay to almost nil, you're going to get shitty, lawless, "unaccountable" type behavior? That's all it would take. All police officers subject to the law the same as the rest of us. Ditto for Congress. Seriously. Remove immunity and a lot of shit gets fixed. A lot. Fuck.','url':'https://reason.com/blog/2015/07/22/why-was-sandra-bland-arrested','og_descr':'According to the Supreme Court, cops can order legally stopped motorists out of their cars at will.
