Need a new Computer or Electronic? Posted: 1 year ago by dollyllama
I don't remember where I got this url from and just went to check it out today. No frills on the graphic end of this site, just straight text. It's like a stock market of prices for computer and electronic equipment. Shows a link and whether the price just went up or down. Mostly computers and electronics (and accessories for those items) but just found a great deal on a canon lens!

Thief forcibly held by store security. (NSFW Language) Posted: 12 months ago by coldbladed
I'm not sure where the law falls on this, but I thought security guards weren't allowed to use this kind of force. The man is punched, stepped on, kneed, and held in a few different "arm bar" type holds that appear to be painful.
