The official 2016 Summer Olympics main thread

what would happen in Texas if you kicked in and damaged another's property?

We'd call the police.

We'd call the police.

yeah right,,,,

 

[rynochop]

yeah right,,,,

I'd get off my horse and pull out my six shooter and tie em to my oil well til the sheriff got there

But..if it's the same situation, the unarmed clerk will call the police and try and get a plate. But since you can go into any gas station and use the bathroom It's kind of a moot point

Really?? If this happened in this country these so called security guards would be in bigger trouble than some drunk dudes peeing on a building wall. Was basically armed robbery as its being described by everyone

Why. They broke a door via drunken vandalism. The on site security guard accosted them and asked them to pay for the damage. After a discussion, re the possibility of the police being called to arrest them, they reluctantly agreed to pay for their damage.

What's wrong with that? Security guard just doing his job. No guns were involved - this was fabricated by the swimmers.

Uh, there were guns involved, did they have their hands in the air cause they asked them too? Someone pointing a gun at you demanding money is armed robbery no matter who it is

One of them was armed and he aimed his gun at him.

i saw a spectator holding up a sign around the 24 or 25th mile. it said "Stop the Coup in Brazil" or something. is Brazil keeping something that we dont know about

Men's basketball update: Serbia 29-52 usa halftime

I think the swimmers version of events lacks credibility. Didn't look like anyone was aiming a gun in the CCTV.

I am shocked to see us medal in the marathon...not only that, 2 in top 6.......awesome.

Btw, our 3rd guy fell hard just before the finish, but he got up and finished......that rain on the slick granite was not a great combination to say the least

Closing ceremony was cool. Rio knows how to throw a party. Thought there might be 10 wardrobe malfunctions on that last Carnival segment.

Japan's opening ceremony in 2020 is should be pretty fun. Neat to see them embrace video games in their segment. Deserves to be seen as a part of their culture just as much as they embrace any other part of their culture. Prime Minister becoming Mario and popping out of a green sewer pipe was a trip. Should have said, "Itsa me, Shinzo Abe!"

 

[BigDGarciaFan]

No mention of Godzilla at the closing ceremonies

 

[JIMMYBUFFETT]

yeah right,,,,

Right, because we all carry 6 shooters, ride hoses, listen to country music,and wear cowboy hats? Kind of like Canadians all watch hockey, love Rush, eat maple syrup on everything, are scared to fight, and ride your sled dogs to work each day? Funny how stupid stereotypes work isn't it?

I believe it was your first one since 1976 in that event

that is not one applied to Canada except in your little mind

Given how many here have posted about how they would shoot and not worry about consequences, that the majority on this board do own guns and shoot first, mine was hardly a stereotype

Six more OCI officials wanted by Brazilian police. Looks like Ireland won the corruption medal.

John Delaney is one of them. This scandal is more entertaining than the actual Olympics.
