Sexton Blake's arch enemy, Zenith the Albino, does his thing in the pages of Detective Weekly.

Warwick-based Griffin's Auctioneers and Valuers has included a number of original British comic artworks in its upcoming Antiques, Interiors & Collectables auction next week

Kenneth Williams gives a magnificent performance as James Bailey, a toffee-nosed intellectual who resents authority (a character perfectly tailor-made for him!), in the first Carry On film, CARRY ON SERGEANT! (dir. Gerald Thomas / prod. Peter Rogers, Pinewood Studios UK) in 1958, here with Eric Parker as Captain Potts and William Hartnell as Sergeant Grimshawe.

👑 -Crown that fits their personality

I tried making it a bit more simple but still kinda inspiring it by the google results of “Viking Crown” because I’d like to think in a Royalty AU he would come from colder regions fitting his often cold exterior.

Ah I am not good with crowns ; 7 ;

Chief U.S. District Judge Gloria Navarro declared a mistrial in the Bundy case that stemmed from the armed standoff back in April of 2014. She dismissed the jury, not because of a deadlock, but because the prosecution failed to turn over key evidence to the defense. Oregon Live reported, The judge listed six documents or pieces of evidence that prosecutors failed to turn over before trial,…

Eric Parker, who was featured in an iconic image of the standoff pointing his rifle in the direction of federal agents, made it clear to the undercover FBI team that he had no interest in bloodshed. An electrician from Idaho, Parker was hesitant to meet with the filmmakers and expressed his concerns that discussing the events that day could leave him legally exposed. At the same time, Parker was deeply frustrated with how the story had been presented. “We were all pinged as right-wing extremists and gun nuts,” he said during his first call with Anna. Still, he said, his lawyer had given him strict guidance on talking to the press.

“This is not about getting people in trouble,” Anna assured him. “This is about spreading your message.”

Parker eventually agreed to take part in the project. On August 17, 2014, the Longbow crew traveled to a lodge in Montana, where Parker and his family, along with his friend and fellow standoff participant Scott Drexler, were planning a relaxing weekend of fishing in the mountains. Parker took a seat on a porch outside.

In the two-hour interview, Parker explained that his motivation for traveling to Nevada was twofold. First, he saw the video depicting the BLM tasing Cliven’s son and throwing his sister to the ground as part of a broader trend of police brutality. Second, he viewed the establishment of the free speech zones, coupled with the presence of well-armed federal agents, as an attack on the First Amendment. By traveling to Nevada with weapons, Parker explained, he and his friends hoped to prevent what they viewed as unlawful arrests or use of force against protesters.

“They got 200 armed men with body armor rolling around,” he said. “We need 200 armed men with body armor rolling around.” Far from the coordinated operation government prosecutors would later allege, Parker said the actual confrontation was disorganized and ultimately terrifying. “I thought we would be there, armed, of course, and stand our ground and make sure the protesters don’t get pepper-sprayed and make sure that the illegal arrests stopped,” he explained. “I wouldn’t have thought in 100 years we would be on a bridge staring down federal agents.”

When he took his position on the pavement, the moment when the famous photo was taken, Parker said his hands were shaking.

“How do you acquire your target?” Johnson asked him.

“There’s no picking the target,” Parker answered. “I wasn’t chambered, and my finger wasn’t on the trigger. … Nobody wanted to die.”
