I've never heard of the 1990 Oka standoff in Canada - they bayonetted 14 year old girls?!?  WTF?

QuoteOn September 25, the final engagement of the crisis took place when a Mohawk warrior walked around the perimeter with a long stick, setting off the flares the army had set up to warn them of any escapes from the area. The army turned a hose on the man, but the hose lacked enough pressure to disperse a crowd. The Mohawks taunted the soldiers and then started throwing water balloons at them. Some Canadian soldiers responded by returning intact water balloons and a playful water fight ensued.

this is how human conflict should be

randomly fill the balloons with a base liquid and the others with a acidic liquid.  then throw them around and see what happens.

Yeah, I thought they only rescued damsels from the clutches of Snidley Whiplash when tied to a Rail Road track.
