unit731 Posted November 29, 2014 Report Share Posted November 29, 2014 The dog was taken to a veterinarian. The guy was just thrown in jail. Updated November 28, 2014 7:20 PM By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS “PORTSMOUTH, N.H. - New Hampshire police say a man who broke into his neighbor's apartment to silence a barking dog ended up getting bitten and arrested. They say a brawl erupted Friday morning when Roger Pelletier forced his way into the Portsmouth apartment because he was frustrated by the constant barking of her Shih Tzu, Oreo. Police say Pelletier tried to strangle Oreo, leading to a confrontation with the dog's owner. They say Oreo bit Pelletier several times. The dog's owner wasn't injured. Oreo has been taken to a veterinarian for evaluation. Pelletier is charged with burglary, cruelty to animals and simple assault. He is jailed on $5,000 bail and will be held until he's arraigned Monday. He can't be reached for comment in jail. It's unknown if he has a lawyer.†Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My Penis is hungry Posted November 30, 2014 Report Share Posted November 30, 2014 I agree - nothing to do with Scotland NOW THIS HAS!!! By the way, when they say "Blind" do they mean drunk or can't see? A blind man has been arrested in Scotland after witnesses reported he sank his teeth into his guide dog’s head and then kicked the Labrador-retriever mix after it apparently wouldn’t help him across a busy street. A witness who said he saw the attack outside a busy shopping center in the Scottish capital Edinburgh reported the incident to police. After several days investigation, officers arrested David Todd, 34, on charges of cruelty to animals and breach of the peace. A police spokeswoman said the 8-year-old dog had been handed over to a charity dedicated to guide dogs. The alleged attack has outraged animal rights activists and the Guide Dogs for the Blind Association, which provided Todd with the dog. Association spokesman Colin Gallagher said that Todd could lose his dog if he is convicted of the abuse charge. “Cases of abuse by owners on their guide dogs are few and far between, but we can withdraw the dog on a permanent basis,†Gallagher told the Edinbugh Evening News. If the dog is withdrawn, the association trains the blind person to use a white stick while walking, he said. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Munchmaster Posted December 11, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 11, 2014 Order for Glencoe massacre goes on display in Edinburgh One of the most chilling documents in Scottish history has gone on display in Edinburgh. The handwritten order for the Massacre of Glencoe is the centrepiece of a National Library of Scotland exhibition. In 1692, 38 members of the MacDonald clan were killed by King William's soldiers, despite showing hospitality to the troops for many days. The display marks the 300th anniversary of the 1715 Jacobite uprising. Robert Betteridge, National Library of Scotland curator, said: "You can't get much closer to history than this. "Visitors to the exhibition will be able to see a document that was written over 300 years ago in conditions of absolute secrecy and then passed on to the people who were to carry out the massacre. "It was a deed so shocking in its execution that it has remained strong in the memory of generations of Scots." Game of Crowns: The 1715 Jacobite Rising runs until 10 May 2015 at the National Library of Scotland, George IV Bridge, Edinburgh. Entry is free. It features loans from the Royal Collections, National Museums of Scotland, National Records of Scotland and Scottish National Portrait Gallery.

Flashermac Posted December 11, 2014 Report Share Posted December 11, 2014 There's enough Scots in my ancestry than even I know about the Massacre of Glencoe. (One of my grandmother's ancestors is supposed to have been killed while wounded after Culloden.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flashermac Posted January 20, 2015 Report Share Posted January 20, 2015 Same-sex couple married in pagan first Two male witches in Edinburgh have tied the knot in the UK's first pagan same-sex marriage. Tom Lanting, 34, and Iain Robertson, 39, were married in a ceremony in the 16th-century vaulted cellars of Edinburgh's Marlin's Wynd. The couple, who have been together for 12 years, are both hedge witches, who use herbal remedies to deal with medical and spiritual ailments. The ceremony included handfasting, the sharing of mead and jumping the broom. After their wedding on Sunday, the couple said: "Getting married in a legal pagan ceremony means so much to both of us. "The new equal marriage law means that we finally have equal recognition and acceptance of our relationship, and it opens the door for all LGBTI couples to take the same step. The couple, who have been together for 12 years, are both hedge witches "As hedge witches we always wanted to have a pagan marriage ceremony in line with our beliefs and it was really important to us to be able to share this ceremony with our friends and family." Scotland is the only part of the UK that allows pagans, and other minority and religious belief bodies, to solemnise legal weddings. The Pagan Federation (Scotland) has been permitted to conduct weddings north of the border since 2005 and has carried out hundreds of ceremonies for mixed sex couples. Louise Park, the presiding officer for the Pagan Federation (Scotland), conducted the ceremony. She said: "Equality for people of all faiths is something that is very dear to the vast majority of pagans, and the Pagan Federation (Scotland) has made equal marriage for all pagans in Scotland one of our biggest campaigns over the last 10 years. "We feel that, if any couple wish to, they should be able to make their marriage vows before their own personal Gods, friends and family, in a religious ceremony tailored to suit their own beliefs. Scotland is the only part of the UK that allows pagans, and other minority and religious belief bodies, to solemnise legal weddings "I am absolutely over the moon to have been able to conduct Scotland's - and the UK's - first pagan same-sex marriage for Tom and Iain, who hold a special place in the hearts of Scotland's pagan community." Tom French, policy and public affairs co-ordinator for the Equality Network, said: "We were delighted to be able to attend the UK's first pagan same-sex marriage. "Religious and belief groups played an important role in the campaign for equal marriage and this ceremony is a mark of equality and freedom of belief in Scotland. "The new law was not just about ensuring equality for LGBTI people, but also securing greater freedom of belief for the many religious and belief groups who want to conduct same-sex marriages, in line with their deeply held beliefs, but were previously denied the right to do." http://www.bbc.com/n...t-fife-30885393 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
