They eventually decided to drop the charges, but still WTF that he was jailed for days and denied bond for legally buying a gun despite having proof of where he bought it.

A man in Canada and local police had a good laugh after the Montreal resident fooled officers with a full-size car made entirely of snow. According to CBS affiliate WGCL-TV, Simon Laprise sculpted a life-size model of a DeLorean DMC-12 in the middle of a local snow removal zone.
The “car,” made famous by the “Back to the Future” movie franchise, drew the attention of one police officer who was so fooled by Laprise’s snow work he called for a second patrol car to check out the DeLorean.
CBS Los Angeles writes that after the officers realized there was no car under the snow pile, Laprise was given a fake parking ticket that read, “You made our night hahahahaha :)”
The 33-year-old machinist’s prank was reportedly plowed clean by Montreal sanitation workers the next day but not before it gave police a funny story to tell this winter.

“out of character”? Yet they found additional recordings of similar acts?
I wish my mom had been this thoughtful when making my school lunches.
Had to laugh at these local rats who have been taught how to drive a small car.
i object to it being labelled a martini. it is maybe a vodka martini. or just a lemon drop. who is teaching the kids that martinis should be assumed to be gin-based???

Yeah, that’s f’ed up. When my kid with disabilities “graduated” (aged out), he and the others in his class received something that very clearly did not say it was a diploma and we were all specifically told it was not a diploma.
That said, we did need to lawyer up several times to fight the school district.
I have never heard the term benevolent discrimination before.
Maybe it is like the term benevolent dictator? When I used to go to Malawi on business, people there called Hastings Banda a “benevolent dictator “. But everything is relative. He just imprisoned and killed fewer opponents than some others.
