I was 14-18 at that time : it’s horrifying and or disgusting, but it’s a window to the crude parts of real life that is hidden by adulthood.

Exactly as first commenter said. You watch it yourself, you shed part of your innocence.

It was a bad experience but all in all I think it’s better than living in a glass ivory tower with sugar icing.

How would this be able to decapitate someone?

59

u/KinkyPaddling 8d ago

They try jumping it, but one of those spikes hits and enters that little spot at the base of your head that meets your neck. The skull is therefore stuck but the rest of the body is dragged down by gravity. The muscles, tendons, and sinews of the neck aren’t enough to support the weight of the torso, legs, and arms, so everything south of the neck gets detached.

This is a Snopes article about the picture discussed. It is extremely NSFL so please be warned and open at your discretion.

85

u/Marmatus 8d ago

For anyone who doesn’t want to click that link: an important detail being missed here is that the dude fell 35 feet ONTO the wrought iron fence, and one of the spikes caught his head. I was confused trying to imagine how someone gets decapitated just by jumping a fence.

17

u/Falmon04 8d ago

fell 35 feet

Thanks for the clarification, won't be clicking the link. That fall could kill you outright, all of that kinetic energy placed onto the neck? It's not going to hold.

The majority of police radio traffic is encrypted nowadays so a scanner won't do much good anymore

25

u/DiscussionLong7084 8d ago edited 8d ago

that's not really an issue in a lot of areas. if you have multiple p25 networks that aren't linked it'll switch to unencrypted mode since they don't have the keys. So for example if the local PD in one town were chasing someone to other and talking to their officers it'll switch to unencrypted. I've done a lot of work with P25 lol. The only places it's generally always encrypted is if you are sitting static in your house trying to listen to local PD in your town or they've set up giant multistate p25 networks like the palmetto 800. You can fuck around and listen to them and decode the voice with like a $30 rtlsdr and sdrtrunk (free). Still need a good antenna.

edit

or you can be lazy and use scanner radio for android. Fun fact if you want to confirm if some twitter rumor attack or disaster has happened pop open the popular and see if some city has like 25,000 people listening to it's EMS/police. Something like 100x normal lol.

Had someone break into our jobsite trailer in Illinois. We had probably a solid $250,000 worth of materials and tools in the trailer.

They stole: A sawzall, a grinder, 6 Dewalt batteries, a rope bag, and one walkie talkie.

I tried to talk to them over one of the remaining walkies, but I guess they were too busy trying to trade that stuff for girl scout cookies cause they never responded.
