Parrot Attacks and Bites Violinist

From the author: "Footage of when our parrot attacked my husband. His response 'When the parrot saw me on the floor he exclaimed - you fell down!

 I was unexpectedly attacked by my daughter parrot while playing the Titanic music on the violin. The bird actually laughed right after the incident. Endowed with extraordinary skills an traces of bipolar behavior, Kiki loves to dance to the Titanic movie version of "My heart will go on" This time, his festive mood changed unexpectedly during my practice. The bird acted like possessed by some evil force, laughing and talking and asking why I was on the floor. Perhaps he did not like the music, who knows.

I actually went down playing, like the violinist on the Titanic, Slowly and graciously, hurting and bleeding. holding the fiddle in one hand and the bow in the other, protecting my 19th century English fiddle. I am a coward, those musicians of the Titanic were brave heroes! A horrible painful experience that requires plastic surgery'"

State Dep. Ambiguous on Violence of Dead US-Palestinian

Background:

Israeli troops shot dead a U.S.-Palestinian Arab teenager Friday, October 24, during clashes with rock-throwing protesters near Ramallah. Palestinian officials named the boy as Orwa Hammad, 17, saying he was shot while throwing firebombs - a regular occurrence near Silwad, near the Binyamin community of Ofra. The IDF said that troops opened fire towards the teenager upon identifying that he was preparing to throw firebombs towards a local road near Ramallah. The troops opened fire in order to prevent him from hitting Israeli vehicles.

Jen Psaki of The State Department statement later released this statement:

"The United States expresses its deepest condolences to the family of a U.S. citizen minor who was killed by the Israeli Defense Forces during clashes in Silwad on October 24.  Officials from the U.S. Consulate General in Jerusalem are in contact with the family and are providing all appropriate consular assistance. We call for a speedy and transparent investigation, and will remain closely engaged with the local authorities, who have the lead on this investigation.  We continue to urge all parties to help restore calm and avoid escalating tensions in the wake of the tragic recent incidents in Jerusalem and the West Bank."

Purse Snatcher Reduced to Tears by Bat-Wielding Driver

Next stop, the police station.

Incredible surveillance video onboard a bus in Chile captures a man's painfully botched purse snatching. As the bus pulls over and passengers board, a man near the back of the line attempts to grab a woman's purse. When she resists, he appears to try to laugh it off as a prank before making a second attempt to snatch the purse.

That's when the bus driver takes action, quickly closing the door and trapping the purse snatcher on the bus as it pulls away. The driver then produces a baseball bat, whacking away at the man and reducing him to tears. The bus eventually stops at a police station where the purse snatcher is taken into custody.

Man Falls in Water During Live Interview

He tried to take a picture, but ended up in the water.

Hilarious video showing a man slipping and falling into the sea as he went to photograph a live TV interview. As the interviewee talks to the camera, the man pops up in the background, camera phone at the ready. He slyly goes to record the scene but suddenly tumbles right into the water.

The interviewee, meanwhile, has his back to the incident — and carries on as if nothing has happened. The clip is believed to have been filmed in Beirut, Lebanon, earlier this month.

Dash Cam Insurance Policy

Car insurance fraud is common, but a suspected scammer in South Korea has taken things to a whole new level.

This man is throwing himself at a moving car and whacking his head against the windscreen - hard enough to shatter the glass - in an apparent bid to claim compensation from the driver.

The video, taken on the 19th of September, begins with footage from a dashboard-mounted camera of a motorist making his way out of a car park, in what appears to be a run-of-the mill day.

But things take a turn for the weird when a pedestrian appears out of the blue, sprinting towards the car to the panic of those inside.

When he reaches the car, he leaps onto the hood in a superhero-esque dive and bashes his head into the windscreen.

The glass smashes and the man collapses onto the road.

It appears the opportunist was attempting to get some sort of payout for his efforts, earning him the label of an "insurance scammer" The bizarre act was caught on a video camera mounted on the dashboard of the car.

Insurance fraud is a growing problem in South Korea. According to a recent study from the Insurance Research Center, an average of 156 people are caught in car insurance fraud schemes in South Korea every day, with the amount of money involved totaling $1.8 billion over the last five years.
