Nino Schurter Reprimanded by Swiss Army After Mooning at the White House
Schurter taking the win later that week in Snowshoe.
Nino Schurter has landed himself in hot water after mooning in front of the White House and tagging Donald Trump.
The Olympic Gold Medallist and reigning World Champion posted the Instagram story with Florian Vogel, Lars Forster and mechanic Kurt Gross en-route to the Snowshoe World Cup with the caption "White (peach emoji) for the White House". The post has since been deleted but was screenshotted and posted on Twitter here.
All three riders are members of the Swiss army, which funds their training. Schurter was on service duty between races in the United States and Daniel Reist, spokesman for the Swiss armed forces, told the press he was paid a day's wages on the day the photo was posted.
“Mr Schurter’s commanding officer will deal with the matter in a proportionate but disciplinary way,” Reist told swissinfo.ch. Reist also defended Schurter, saying that cyclist had previously behaved in an exemplary way when representing the army and this was his first slip up. Schurter has apparently already apologised to his superior officer and the Swiss Army says it did not want to make a scandal of the incident. Nino may face a reprimand but the severity of the punishment is up to the commanding officer and won’t be made public.
The 33-year-old has also already apologized in Swiss media. He told the Swiss tabloid Blick: "The photo was a spontaneous one. America is a magnificent country and I love traveling there.”

Re: staying out of people's business - nothing about the amendment, more a nod at switzerland not constantly meddling with other people's business.
I like guns. I love shooting them. Not many people who can outshoot me, unless it’s their job, but I’m all for more gun laws. It’s a weapon, not a toy. And only those who are well versed in the care/use/responsibility of owning a weapon....like say, a well regulated militia, should even own them.
First time I actually wasnt nervous around a soldier with a high powered rifle
And you conveniently left out, “the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed.”
But the real question is, do YOU own any guns? Because I’m willing to bet that like most 2nd Amendment critics, you hypocritically own a gun or two yourself. So honestly, do you?
@jamessmurthwaite The caption on that photo should be "Cassa Blanca"
“the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed" is the second part of the same sentence as "well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State" ERGO the right to bear arms is contingent on being part of said militia - which should be organized and disciplined.
I'm not against "guns". I think owning a gun is a big responsibility - hmm let's see cars are useful tools that could easily kill people...and you need registration for that. owning any gun, let alone owning assault rifles with ammo in your attic without REGISTRATION, is absurd.
Interestingly, it was perceived one way the first time in the 1930s, then interpreted the opposite way in the most recent decision on 2008.
To your point about gun owners having no incentive to be organized and ready, the Framer’s wrote those words when people did have incentive — to protect themselves from external powers that sought to subjugate them, as England had done. Every citizen could, in theory, become a member of this militia at a moment’s notice (without prior training or You can certainly argue that this need doesn’t apply today, but @trailbike is accurate in his description/intent of the wording.
What on earth did you just write?
I couldn’t have said it better myself
TRUMP 2020
Can we please respect each other's opinion, stay factual and try to keep politics out of this hobby as much as possible? It has already impacted nearly every other part of our lives...
Yeah, you me and like 2 other people are completely alone on this site in thinking like this... ROFL
Now look up 10 U.S. Code ss 246."Militia: composition and classes" and holler when you get to the part under (b(2)) about Unorganized Militia.
Also, if you'd like, read Mason, et al, on service vs. civilian arms and uses thereof.
Guns laws like registration and background checks are important, but banning certain guns is wrong imo. What criminal gives a shit about gun laws anyway?
I'm no Republican but I think the radical left response to this is unconstitutional at best.
Oh and mountain biking is awesome! Slightly on topic.
Hell yea trump 2020
Agreed about the framer's intent - context is quite different now.
Thanks for the civil and well referenced discussion!
You basically have a bunch of men who just fought a war against a militia realizing "well, f*ck... we can't just not have a militia and maintain our independence so how do we ensure we don't end up subject to tyrannical rule from our own future leaders now that we've fought our way free of King George III"
... so they made sure we'd have the ability to resist such a force through the second amendment.
Hell, Jefferson alone serves up plenty of material to that effect:
"No free man shall ever be debarred the use of arms."
"What country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance. Let them take arms."
"The Constitution of most of our states (and of the United States) assert that all power is inherent in the people; that they may exercise it by themselves; that it is their right and duty to be at all times armed."
"On every occasion [of Constitutional interpretation] let us carry ourselves back to the time when the Constitution was adopted, recollect the spirit manifested in the debates, and instead of trying [to force] what meaning may be squeezed out of the text, or invented against it, [instead let us] conform to the probable one in which it was passed."
But really, Noah Webster effectively settled the debate long before it began:
"Before a standing army can rule, the people must be disarmed, as they are in almost every country in Europe. The supreme power in America cannot enforce unjust laws by the sword; because the whole body of the people are armed, and constitute a force superior to any band of regular troops."
... and yet, here you are ranting.
(P.S. I’m not being sarcastic.)
Seriously, y'all need to work on your irrational fear of inanimate objects and situations that aren't really happening. You lot love to talk about how gun owners are so scared to be without our guns but the only fear I ever hear comes from folks like you talking about how terrified you are of scary black rifles and random gunfights that aren't actually happening.
1. 54% of counties in this country had ZERO homicides, by firearm or otherwise.
2. 2% of the counties in the country accounted for 51% of all homicides committed in this country.
3. The worst 5% of counties in this country accounted for a full 68% of all homicides.
4. The worst 20% of counties in this country account for fully 80% of all homicides committed in this country.
5. Only 3.2% of public mass shootings occurred when guns are permitted, the other 96.8% occurred in areas either designated as gun free (such as schools) or where guns are prohibited by statute (like bars).
6. A current poll on left leaning MSNBC as to whether or not people should be allowed to carry guns in public has over 1.3 million respondents currently and 65% of people stating that they believe it's a constitutionally protected right to do so... so you might wanna slow your roll on that whole "majority of the population" line you heard on TV.
There's nothing "perceived" about American exceptionalism buddy. In roughly 150 years we went from a bunch of upstart colonists to the uncontested most powerful nation on earth with unparalleled economic and military influence throughout the world. You don't have to like it, you don't even have to accept it, but that's a fact Jack.
How exactly do you "shift around the homicides"? If people get murdered in LA County, there's no way to shift that to Kern County.
The reality is, we have a problem with high concentration liberal population centers not a gun problem. There's a reason that places like LA, St Louis, Chicago, Detroit, NYC all lead the nation in firearms homicides and there's a reason that when you look to traditionally conservative areas, it's the liberal population centers within those regions that have highly concentrated firearms crime. For example, gun crime throughout Texas is on the decline and has been for years but that is offset by increases in places like Dallas and Austin which have increasingly become more liberal and more populous as people emigrate from places like California and bring their misguided politics with them leading to a more permissive attitude towards criminals. Even within those population centers, there's an extreme concentration of gun deaths. In Boston, for example, 53% of the city’s gun violence occurs in less than 3% of the city’s intersections and streets
Your entire premise if badly flawed. You can't claim that the barometer is nationwide gun deaths when the gun deaths are locally concentrated to a few regions. If it's a nationwide issue than the statistical dispersion would fall within a relatively narrow window throughout all counties, which isn't the case. We have a very small number of counties with firearms homicide rates vastly outpacing the statistical mean and a large number of counties falling well below the mean. Ipso facto, it's a localized issue rather than a systemic one. Your efforts at using school shooting deaths, which represent a statistically insignificant portion of the total firearm homicides, is pure ignorance. School shootings represent less than 1% of firearm homicides so where that 1% occurs isn't statistically relevant.
The simple fact is, you have no facts. And you should probably refrain from talking about rocket science until you can spell "perceived" correctly there "genius".
The sad thing is, they wouldn’t dare show even their covered up butt in their local no-go zone.
You’re deep behind the enemy line brother, stay safe ...
Also it is estimated in the USA that on the low side 200,000 times a year a gun is used in self defense and on the high side close to 2,000,000. Hard numbers are difficult on this subject because many people don't report when a gun is merely shown and the criminals flea.
For the last year on record, there were 266 firearm homicides in Canada versus a total of 23 school shootings in which 55 people were killed. So much for that whole "your school shootings out number our total shootings" line of bullshit.
Like I said, you have no facts. You're a puppet for propaganda with no factual data and no reasoned opinion, just an irrational fear of inanimate objects and a whole lot of assumptions.
Guns laws like registration and background checks are important, but banning certain guns is wrong imo. What criminal gives a shit about gun laws anyway?
That's a weird way to ask for dick pics. I've already got a 4" lift on my V8 Ram... no room for nuts on the hitch, it's occupied by either a bike rack or a tow ball.
And nobody is rationalizing anything, I'm just stating facts while you're having a tantrum.
You just keep making up dumber and dumber claims, piling hysteria on misinformation, and getting angrier with every post. It's clear that you're not the type of person who should be allowed to own guns but that shouldn't have any bearing on the more mentally balanced among us.
100 gun deaths/day in merica=36500
Canada 266 x10 = 2660
Who has the problem "genius"
A decade in the middle east and a shitshow in the rice paddies of Vietnam say that yes, yes you are going to stop the military with a "little pea shooter". But it's great irony that you clowns don't want civilians to own AR's because they're weapons of war instead of hunting, but then try and pretend they wouldn't be effective in waging war against tyranny.
But nah, you're right... American citizens could never wage an insurgency as effectively as malnourished cave dwellers and rice farmers could. I mean tens of millions of rednecks l with hundreds of millions of firearms and over a billion rounds of ammunition stockpiled, who take to the hills and fields en masse to stalk and kill prey for recreation every hunting season, who've spent generations honing shooting skills, and who casually burn through more rounds for pure entertainment than most standing militaries can afford for deliberate practice... yeah, they could never measure up to those finely honed fighting machines
PS - Who is that you think has been fighting in Afghanistan for the last decade and change, and Iraq before that... spoiler alert: it wasn't big city liberals.
Not triggered at all... you calling people fags and ranting about other dudes dicks reflects on you, not me. It just highlights your inability to reason, your lack of supporting facts, and that you're not capable of actually staying on topic and debating the issue like an informed adult. Honestly, once you resort to screaming "gunfag" while you cry about little dicks and big trucks, all you're really saying is that you lost the debate. Particularly when three days ago you said nobody cares
ajph.aphapublications.org/doi/full/10.2105/AJPH.2018.304640
"Conclusions. The NFA had no statistically observable additional impact on suicide or assault mortality attributable to firearms in Australia."
As for the rest of that, I'm not sure what's worse; you using demonstrative instead of demonstrable in an attempt to sound intelligent or you trying to say 140% as though it's bad when it's actually much much higher, close to 600%... even even facts are on your side, you still can't get them right
But again, this underscores my earlier point about population centers. Even un Canada, your firearms homicides are concentrated in the higher density population centers but whereas you have two provinces with population density in excess of 5000 people per sq/km, the United States has literally dozens of such high density population centers. Given that we have several thousand percent more high density population centers, having 600% more gun crime isn't actually that catastrophic.
So, once again, the facts support my position and all you have is banal insults and manufactured outrage.
As for the military... I suppose we'll just have to wait and see. There's no way to factually debate that but I'm quite certain I know literally hundreds more US servicemen than you do and I'm quite sure where the vast majority of them stand... and that's before we start factoring in veterans and non active duty reserves. Not sure where you think it is that the military draws their ranks from but, newsflash; the military is primarily composed of good ol boys like me. Despite what your media tells you, I can assure you that patriotic constitutionalism runs far deeper in this country than does pandering propaganda.
Armed forces are trained to bust heads. You fat hicks put your camo on and flex in front of each other and take the pics. Shit hits the fun youll be dropping a cake and phoning your mommy. Guns are for cowards. Proven time and again
You honestly couldn't be more of a propagandist puppet if Beto had his hand shoved up your ass to make your lips move... automatic weapons mowing people down? What f*cking movies are you watching that you think are real life? The last time an automatic weapon was used to "mow" anybody down in this country was in the 1997 North Hollywood shootout and the only two people who got "mowed down" were the two shooters. Automatic weapons haven't been mowing anybody down since the prohibition era gang wars. Seriously, it's impressive how wrong you are and that you keep coming back to look dumber... I mean, you should've accidentally gotten something right by this point.
And I'm very well aware of what the armed forces are trained to do and, despite what you may think, very few of them are trained to "bust heads"... but the fact remains, rural areas are massively disproportionate in their representation in the military. Nearly half of all military serviceman are "hicks" as you so colorfully put it. The military is also disproportionately conservative. No camo, cupcake... when the boogaloo finally kicks off we'll be wearing Hawaiian shirts and cargo shorts.
As for cowards; fearing guns and assuming every gun is a threat to you is the epitome of cowardice... lemme guess, every time you see a guy with big biceps you think he's gonna hit you and cross to the other side of the street right, right? When they pull out a knife at the local sandwich shop, I bet you run for the door huh? Everybody who takes Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu or Taekwondo must be living in fear too right? The only thing that's been proven time and time again is guns stop bad people from doing bad things and, without guns, good people just die until a good person with a gun shows up to stop bad people from doing bad things... all the rest of that banal nonsense you keep vomiting up is just your fears and insecurities talking.
Youre not too bright are you? I described the things fox news has you conservitard gunfags living in fear of. Try and keep up skippy. Must be the meth and moonshine slowing the waves between those 2 brain cells
All rifles combined, of which AR pattern rifles are just one, account for roughly 3% of firearm homicides.
Rights aren't contingent upon need and ranting about what "real" hunters need when you've obviously never hunted in your life is comical... and also ignores the wide range of shooting sports apart from hunting.
The only thing you're describing is your own mental deficiencies and fears. It's all hysteria and stupidity with you; you can't spell, your vocabulary is elementary, and all you're doing is repeating factually inaccurate nonsense with some homophobia thrown in. I can't imagine what life must be like for living with so much anger and fear. You're literally more terrified of guns in another country than I am of a gun actively shooting at me. It'd be sad if it wasn't so amusing.
Maybe while you're advocating for law abiding citizens hand over their guns to prevent criminals from killing people you should set an example by cutting off your own dick to stop rapists from raping women.
If you wanna start talking quality of life; again, it's purely a matter of shithole liberal population centers dragging the rest of the country down. If we remove those cities from the equation, US ranks near or at the top in everything from murder rates, overall crime, quality of life, cost of living, etc. You just can't seem to wrap your tiny little brain around the reality that life in America =/= life in Chicago or LA.
But you keep doing you, living in terror of inanimate objects.
What kind of super cuck retard are you that you wanna surrender your freedom based upon the actions of criminals?
The fact is, the White House stands for more than just Trump: contrary to what some of you seem to have forgotten. To do this is insulting to the US as a whole, which is quite asinine considering what this country stands for (not what all of you have fixated on it in the past couple years of our current president). This is a country of giving and hope and sanctuary, or that is what is tries to be. To say otherwise is like saying that Christianity is represented by Creationists. Do you also believe this?
If he wanted to be clever and insult Trump, Trump has plenty of real estate with his name implicitly or explicitly tied to it. Not to mention that being part of the military means your actions represent more than just yourself, so that in itself is just downright dumb to ignore.
That's about all I have to give as input, as most people have some major vision-narrowing about what the USA is.
Gosh, I'm so disappointed that my profile failed to gain the approval of a Canadian coward who lies awake at night triggered by American guns.
Can't decide what the funniest part is; that you think I was trying to look badass because I was wearing a full face helmet or that you're such a
delicate little whiner that your constantly having tantrums about how other people live their lives. Honestly, every post you make just shows a little more of what a straight running bitch you are.
@won-sean-animal-chin: Dude you just don't get it. In America the 2nd Amendment and guns are not about hunting. It's about throwing off a tyrannical governemnt. You can keep your Canada and I'll keep my guns. Thanks for playing though.
All you're really saying is know nothing about tactics, have never seen or been a part of any combat action, and would rather bend over to get f*cked by your government than die on your feet like a man.
You just keep reinforcing the reality that you have literally no clue what the f*ck you're talking about and can't muster up any argument aside from angrily repeating some dumb shit you heard on TV.

Another good person with a gun dealing with... Oh...
By the way, there was some pretty low-quality name calling earlier. Not ok. I'm actually thinking the Canadian above might be more trigger happy than you boys when it comes to the crunch.
Anyway, this is none of my business.
But again... demanding law abiding citizens to surrender their freedoms based upon what criminals are doing makes as much as demanding sober drivers surrender their cars to stop drunk driving or demanding all men cut off their dicks to stop rapes.
Indeed, guns don't kill people, scared/desperate/disenfranchised/embittered individuals kill people. And there are quite a few of them about.
We need more good people willing to carry guns. I think people are brainwashed into thinking these mass shootings happen so regularly but if you look in the big cities (Chicago, Baltimore, Detroit etc..) A lot of the gun violence is gang related. What people think of in mass shootings are the big ones like Las Vegas, the theater shooting in Aurora Colorado but when the media start spewing out numbers they include gang violence where two or more people were shot or when a family member kills their whole family. They are all sad but doesn't really give the same picture as a school shooting like Parkland Florida a few years ago. The only way to stop a bad guy with a gun is with a good guy with a gun.
Also, aren't there already a couple of million people already in jail in the States? How many shuffling along on death row for years in end? Are people really being deterred by the prospect of execution?
Punishment doesn't even work with my kids, why would it work for a dude who's got no life prospects and doesn't have much to lose if he gets locked up. Ask the experts how effective they think jail without rehabilitation is. And you can't just exterminate people because looking at root causes is too difficult. Something like 100 billion dollars annually it costs to accommodate inmates. Think what that money could do if you invested just half of it in education and community support. Yours is an incredibly wealthy country. No, I'm not a communist and I'm not even talking about taking away people's guns, the fondness for which I can appreciate. They are intrinsically linked to the soul of the States, like baguettes, cheese and wine in France.
P.s. some people have to be kept away from society, yes, but you've got to help them rewire their brains and give them somewhere to go when they're done in the institution. Jails are being run by big business whose only interest is skimming off money from the governments they put huge efforts into lobbying
Root causes only matter if you don't believe in personal responsibility. People aren't murdering and raping because they didn't go to a good school they're doing it because they're shitty people who don't deserve to live in society among the civilized. And punishment works, but it won't work when criminals know they can spin a sob story about how mommy didn't love em enough and get life in prison where taxpayers fund their useless existence. Flip that script back to capital punishment and folks aren't going to be ok with the consequences of that thug life.
@badbadleroybrown: that's some dark shit right there. I see this is the outcome of different sections of the population being pitted against each other by the powers that be, a. because it's possibly cheaper and less complicated a solution than trying to make society more harmonious, and b. because while the people in the street are busy hating each other, the guys running the business called democracy can go about their dealings in relative peace. Our dear leaders allow people to become dehumanized to manufacture a scapegoat they can hide behind with impunity, while patriotic slogans are pumped out and deals with our supposed enemies are done.
The reality is that egalitarianism is a myth and inequity is a natural factor of life. Until people can accept that reality, there can't be harmony.
@SladeTheBlade: I think it's more a question of government competence and agenda than size, but apart from that you're on the money. Also, do you know how rich you have to be to get 22 trillion in debt?!

And classless? As opposed to a bunch of grown men showing their asses on social media? And look at the picture, they're not even fully committing, so they're pussies too. Your bar for class is pretty low.
And be greatful for the electoral college, otherwise the president would be chosen by the same 3 or 4 states every election - and for such a large and diverse country, that would be terrible. Also, if you're going to criticize the electoral college, like Bernie Sanders, Kamala Harris, Elizabeth Warren, and Clinton herself, (all of whom were ok with working in the Senate) you should be criticizing the Senate. Because it uses the same system to give smaller states a say in the process. you think anyone would give a second thought to Colorado if it weren't for that system..?
No, its been proven to be quite factual. That the president and his party choose to ignore those facts doesn't make it "made up". If not for the republicans maintaining control of the senate with a bunch of yes men, then the orange haired wonder would be facing impeachment already.
Trump's Son did meet with a woman claiming to have dirt on Clinton, but Clinton paid a British man to come up with the whole Russian lie. So, is it ok for an American candidate to collude with a foreign agent as long as they are British?
If there was actually obstruction, Trump would have been impeached by the Democrat House - why hasn't that happened if there was obstruction? oh... because there wasn't...
This is why the narrative immediately switched to Trump being a racist as soon as Mueller's report came out - they had to move on to something else .
Trump would have been impeached several times over if Pelosi wasn't playing politics. Why she's doing that is whole different argument, but flat out denying the Russian interference doesn't do your credibility any good.
BTW, what is Binden's role in all this B.S.??
Nino, you are facing the wrong way. Might be good for social media grandising but the White House it 180 degrees from your bare ass. Also disrespectful regardless of the sellout that is called Mr President.
PB only allows me to give you one prop, but I'd up-vote this shit all day long if it allowed me.
Woof. Bring on the plague.
Yes, you're indoctrinated by being in high density populations. Setting aside three reality that IQ drops as group size increases, the basic desire to fit in discourages individualistic thought in population centers. People are encouraged to believe whatever the group decides is popular... shit, you really don't even need to look beyond Pinkbike to see that effect. Whether it's "Kona's all break" or "SRAM brakes are terrible" or any number of other idiotic popular narratives that take hold, you can see both the widespread indoctrination to that belief as well as the rabid response towards anyone who doesn't agree with it.
But the fact that you think it represents the "wealthy elite and their corporations making decisions for us" is so wildly stupid it really perfectly highlights why a pure democracy is a bad idea.
Electoral college is check /balance for rural/urban states just as House of Reps/Senate is...balance. Sometimes left wins, sometimes right. Both major parties are power hungry charlatans and neither has the best interest of the country in mind. Anyone thinking left or right is innocent in the country's issues or somehow 'cares' about us is sorely naive.
I will await my down votes.
That said, I agree with many that the purpose of the 2nd IS TO BACK UP THE FIRST! Which is precisely why the 2nd says, in part, "...being necessary to the security of a FREE STATE, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed."
When people don't understand or know history, they acquiesce to a loss of liberty. After they've done it long enough, they fight for it! How else could Bolshevism have taken over in Russia? Most of the people that fought for it had no idea that Engels himself had already spoken of the need for genocide of people he considered "racial trash"
There is a reason Jefferson said, “God forbid we should ever be twenty years without such a rebellion." And then in the very next sentence he says, "The people cannot be all, and always, well informed", speaking directly to the ignorance I mentioned above.
In short, we don't have to "let" these a$$hole$ do anything. As long as we do our own scholarship, which isn't that difficult. Not believing everything that's fed to us off the tube by a media that is legally allowed to engage in propaganda is the first step.
We're not above civil discourse. But of course, that's never what Marx and Engels wanted anyways right?
But hey, at least you tried.
Oh dear....
Cheers
Honest question: How about a citation for the claim that population centers have lower IQ's?
As for citation, there's a really cool new website called Google where you can type in phrases like "effect of group size on mean IQ" and it'll give you loads of links for everything from magazine articles to scholarly papers that you can use to educate yourself. Good luck with that.
I've stated the facts, you don't have to accept them.. they remain facts regardless of your feelings. Cry about it all you want.
The recording of the pilots is the cherry on top.

I'm glad to see people are getting smarter about their political protest lol.
seriously though we have enough people behaving like idiots here we don't need Nino adding to it.
@jarrod801: pretty funny that u looked to see where some people are. i did the same thing, and they were pretty much where u would think they are from based on what they posted.
Every media outlet pushes it’s agenda based on their political direction. Nothing wrong with it as long as the media consumer is aware of it.

By the way, that buttface of Trump is mooning everyday in front of the planet and nobody blames him for that...
