Quote out of context
“What motivated him to throw a puppy at the Hell’s Angels is currently unclear,” said a spokesman for local police, adding that the student had lately been suffering from depression.

Damn. That’s some inventive depression right there.
you gotta dig deep if you want to keep up these days.
Goddammit, Deron. How many times do I have to tell you to stop posing as a German student? If you feel the need to throw a puppy at the Hell’s Angels and flee on a bulldozer, that’s perfectly understandable–but leave the Germans out of it.
I *am* German!
I like that context doesn’t make any of that less ridiculous.
I’m glad that puppy is ok.
Bawaria.
yah.
The only image I can muster is that of our dear, sweet little Moose. He’s such a pacifist and doesn’t deserve to be a victim of blind German rage.
If a German student threw Moose at me, I’d scoop that dog up and take him home to nap on my lap.
To borrow someone’s earlier phrase (Cindy?), I hope you don’t mind a “pedantic intrusion” here, but this type of puppy-throwing behavior is not entirely without precedent. The rather mercurial Merriwether Lewis once picked up a puppy and threw it at a Native American man. But, one could argue that Lewis was sufficiently provoked in that the man basically put the puppy on Lewis’s dinner plate while he was eating. The Nez Perce man did this because he was defending the cause of of a young girl who was upset that Lewis was eating her puppy (not the one he threw, a different puppy, a puppy she played with frequently). More here.
“This was not play for Lewis.”
All day today, the words “weaponized puppy” have been on repeat in my head because of this.
