According to phpbb, you deleted it.

I can still see it, click the link to display the whole thing, and as you can see, delete or restore it.

However, I do want to point out that when I originally came here this morning, it was listed as a normal post.

“The manja had cut through her neck, including the windpipe. The cut was so deep she died instantly. The hospital authorities made a PCR call and a police team reached the spot. Her body has been sent for postmortem,” a senior police officer said.
In the other case, Harry (4), had put his head out of the sunroof window of his Swift Dzire car when the thread cut his throat.
“He could not even shout. He just collapsed on his father’s lap, bleeding from his neck. The father rushed him to the hospital and he was told that the kite string slit his windpipe,” a senior police officer said. “The boy had gone for a long drive to celebrate Independence Day with his parents,” he added.

I deleted that line last night once I figured out they started talking about a different case in the middle of the article. If you saw it undeleted this morning, it is screwy.

I'm sure you did. The only explanation I can come up with is it's the first thing I saw this morning when I logged onto my PC, which had been running all night. So it may have automatically updated the page to add your post, but not to delete it?

Also, the reason it still stuck around for a minute and was viewable even under deleted status is because you didn't check mark the box to permanently delete it. TPR was just testing that here as well.

I never get a checkmark to permanently delete. I assumed things were already permanently deleted.

Except for when I tried it just now. Now I get a delete confirmation screen with that check box. I've never seen that screen before.

Did the parents understand this was going on? Did they drive through the middle of it? If so, yes they are fucking morons.

If not, then the kiters are morons, but I'd give the parents a pass.

I put the blame on the idiotic festival in the first place.

"Hey, why don't we celebrate this with some sharp, pointy, slashy things flying through the air?"

I have done nothing. Leisher is clearly trying to mount a cover-up for something he did.

This is a moron champion that takes it to a whole new level. This guy is so special he was featured on an episode of Catfish.

Why? Because he believed he was dating Katy Perry for the past 6 years. Even when confronted with the truth and the person who was catfishing him, he thought he was being Punk'd.

Here's the whole episode:


Katy Perry responds with sympathy and her own moronic bigotry.

Which bit are you arguing: the gullibility or the hickability?

Nor would I, which is why I'm asking which half he's arguing.
