Crowd swipes dying man's groceries

MESA, Ariz., Oct. 3 (UPI) -- The sight of an old man being hit by a truck in Arizona touched off a feeding frenzy among witnesses who allegedly stole the dying victim's groceries.

Not only were the man's groceries taken, but the only person who tried to help him also had his own bags taken.

Mesa police told KPHO-TV in nearby Phoenix that the scavengers could face theft charges if they are eventually tracked down.

The elderly victim was waiting for a bus Tuesday night when a pickup truck swerved off the road and plowed into the stop. The man was sent flying as were his bags of groceries.

As the truck sped off with a white plastic bag flapping on its grill, witnesses began grabbing whatever scattered food they could get their hands on. Boro Mitrovich, who was himself nearly struck, said he ran to help the man and had his bag disappear as well.

"One minute it was on the ground, the next minute it was gone," Mitrovich told KPHO.

I'm in the process of shopping for my first precision rig. Now, I'm not into the fancy calibers (read: 6mm BR or any of the Ackley Improved family, or any of 'em wildcats).

As such, I was recommended a few different ones.

.308, which is venerable, apparently pretty easy to load for;

.243, which, with handloads and the right barrel can be accurate to 1000 yards, but is a bit of a barrel burner, or so I hear;

Or anything you're willing to suggest. Please note that I will be building this rig probably off of a Remington 700 SPS Varmint, considering that I like the stock and the new Remington actions.

Oh, and no .50 BMG, or .416 Cheytac. And I can't afford anyting chambered for the .338 Lapua.

I am still very saddened over the loss of River Phoenix. Such talent and such loss of potential...it still bothers me and he's been gone about 14 years now...about the age we first all met him in Stand by Me.

A COUPLE OF EXAMPLES:

I post evidence proving the vast majority of scientific organizations engaged in climatic, geologic, and meteorologic research support man made global warming.

They say oh, they're all blatantly lying and doing it for the money OR they say that these people are part of the socialist conspiracy to destroy capitalism.

I post evidence in the form of real GDP, inflation adjusted median income, tax revenue, poverty rates, etc, showing the economy growing at a faster rate under keynesians then supply siders.

Cons say, oh well I don't trust statistics. I don't believe anything from the Department of Treasury, Census, Bureau of Economic Analyses, or even Whitehouse.org because they're all controlled by liberals and cannot be trusted.

I have saved actual posts by cons saying this. I will bring them up if needed.

I bought a budgie a few days ago. When I put my hand in the cage it goes to the other side, but when my brother does it, it will not move. Also, my budgie randomly chirps so I whistle back. How will I get it to trust me?

I found at a street fair a couple of black handcuff-sized plastic bracelets that would be just perfect for my Wonder Woman costume. The trouble is, I can't get them on! I'm a large woman and my knuckles are just a little too big. I think they might fit around my wrists, though, if I can get them on.

I'm thinking of cutting the bracelets open at the "seams", and then covering any sharp edges with black duct tape. Now, what's the safest way of cutting them open? An Exacto knife? Should I take them somewhere else to get them open? Would a jeweler do it? If so, how much would it cost?

Suggestions welcome!

I'm 13 and I got my earlobes pierced when I was about 10. I really really want to get my cartiage pierced but my mom is very anti-piercings and stuff like that. It took me ten years to convince her to let me get my earlobes pierced. I really want this done for my birthday which is in four months. What can I do?

I have a huge fascination for Asia and especially for China. I went there for 3 weeks and it was the greatest place I ever visited. I am fluent in English, French and Mandarin Chinese but still have time to learn Cantonese. I am 17 years old, still in high school, live with my father and I plan to study international business and management in University and probably get an MBA. My father have been living all over Europe and he doesn't really like Asia so I think it would be really hard to convince him to help me.

What can/should I do right now in order to prepare for my dream? I want to have my own business somewhere around southern China. I know it's far away from the present but still, this is my wish (or part of it). My father would gladly help me if I wanted to move somewhere in Europe or even in USA but I think he would be scared by the idea of me moving to Asia, it would probably be very hard to get support from him ashe have a very "Western" mindset.

Thanks in advance.
