Do kids mess with your giant statues?

 

Every couple of years college kids - generally spring breakers - will paint Gus's pizzle pink. And twice they've cut his horns off. The paint is fairly easily fixed. The horns - that requires a new statue.

Yep, mostly playfully.....but there's always vandals unfortunately.

Just imagine Rip the absolutely instant curb on unsociable behaviour such as public vandalism. 

Two nice gentlemen that run a convenience store in Stockton, California recently put the smackdown on a serial thief that threatened one of them- with what appeared to be a kendo stick or something similar in size and length.  Goober was trying to fill a garbage can with cigarettes and threatened to shoot one of the men, so the nice gentleman kept wailing on him with the stick until he fully understood the error of that decision.

 

Based on the customer shot video, I think the nice gentleman with the stick has a side hustle splitting firewood by hand- based on how much of his whole body he was putting into those over head blows.

 

It's  one of those situations where you get the urge to volunteer for the jury.

Gotta feeling the theft at that 7-11 dropped dramatically after the video was released.

The gents were Sikh using a Martial art called Gatka.  He is lucky it wasn't a sword.

Then there's a reason that they are doing a mental evaluation on the would be thief!

 

Sikhs are all about helping people but they are also very high on the 'Do Not Screw With' list.

Based on 7-Eleven corporate policy, I'm pretty sure those two store employees are now unemployed. 7-Eleven policy is do not resist, let them do what they want. And if you do resist they fire your ass.

Katie the Cow, Columbus, GA.

Katie the Cow started out in front of a local company called Kinnett Dairies (KD, hence the name). They bottled milk, made ice cream, etc... when she was put up 55-60 years ago, it was out past the edge of town on GA Highway 85 and was a landmark showing that you were almost in Columbus.

 

Fast forward a few decades and Kinnett Dairies is in the middle of town and right beside the then new mall and the local airport right at an interstate exit.  Kinnett went out of business, the building was torn down and retail spaces built but the plan to do away with the cow was met with local resistance, so Katie stayed where she was in the new Best Buy's parking lot- to the confusion of countless visitors to the town. 

 

For a while, she was joined by a mysterious calf statue that was about 6 feet tall which just appeared on night.  When it was stolen a few years later, the rumors of lynch mobs and vigilence committees made the calf reappear behind the dumpster at a McDonalds in short order.

 

Recently, retail has moved further out and there's been vandalism on Katie, so she was moved downtown.
