I've just watched this 1980s FBI training video, released under the Freedom of Information Act, about the mental 1986 shootout in Miami between two armed robbers (badasses) and eight FBI agents. The creepy stock music, murky NTSC colour correction, stiff acting, plus the banal voiceovers flatly recounting the insane details of the incident all create a rather surreal effect. The way they point the guns without firing them also reminds me of "pew! pew!" army games I played as a kid.

12:55 - hee hee!

Also, "couldn't reload my revolver because of bone fragments from my hand sticking in the cylinder". Ew.

For armed robbery shootouts, this one is pretty hard to beat. It's almost a real life 'Heat'.

I remember when that happened. My aged mother clearly knows me well because she called me through when it appeared on the news that night with the words "you'll love this, this is your kind of thing". A spectacular incident certainly, yet despite firing about 1000 rounds the two goons failed to kill a single cop. I've seen the movie of the incident, 44 Minutes, which is redundant and pointless given that the best footage was filmed on the day itself. It also stars Michael Madsen and Mario van Peebles. Seal of quality right there.

The little-known Norco Bank Robbery shootout is another crime classic, not just for the Blues Brothers-level of destruction meted out upon police cars (a 25 mile chase with almost 30 cars destroyed by gunfire) but the fact that they managed to shoot down a police helicopter.

Great stuff. Shame about the joke at the end, but aside from that it worked.

Quite possibly the most awful woman of all times

Reactions to videos like this make me want to use the internet less. She's obviously not well, but so many people online will just go with their knee-jerk 'that's not very nice' reaction and then immediately undermine it by throwing grotesque abuse at the woman.

The same happened with that recent Ramsay's Kitchen Nightmares furore. An obviously mentally unstable woman exploited for TV and then attacked on the internet. She lashes out under the pressure, people see no wrong in attacking her some more.

A lot of people seem to think that the internet is a place where you can leave decency and compassion at the door. Everybody's ripe for a kicking, regardless of whether or not they deserve it.

I'm not sure she was exploited for TV. Rather, she needed help with her restaurant because she's spoiled and narcissistic and treats people like shit (taking servers tips, that is fucking disgusting) then when she realised he wasn't going to be on her side, told them to fuck off. She might have some mental issues but that's not an excuse to be awful to everyone. And the Dunkin Donuts woman clearly thought everyone would be on her side, thus everyone saying "actually no, you're being horrible" is what she needs to hear so she can stop behaving like that. Of course, it might not make her stop, but it's preferable to her being encouraged. Don't agree with sending them vile messages/threats, though, obviously.

Na that Dunkin Donuts woman is paranoid as fuck. Staff 'pissing on her fries' on past orders? The burger has slid off the bun.

To be fair though, they probably have.

One of the numerous bizarre corners of YouTube belongs to cyclists who strap a camera to their helmet then go around filming everything and putting all the altercations on their channel. Half of them are fair examples of bad driving, the others just seem excuses to troll drivers by trumped up self-appointed ambassadors for the Highway Code.

Case in point: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8cmyJuwQuRg

The driver is obviously quite aggressive, but I would be if somebody whined about a corner I took then shouted 'drive properly' before saying 'see-ya!' and cycling off. I enjoy how the driver is polite enough to say he'd shove something up the cyclists 'nose', then later delivers "gobby little cunt" and particularly "fuck off" brilliantly.
