Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.
Rules:
-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --
-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --
-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --
-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --
-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--
-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--
-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --
-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

i work near a hospital's ER intake and at some point in the last couple of years, some Class 1 dipshit showed up, pulled a piece, and started waving it around, creating a hostage situation that went on for hours. it wasn't even over something understandable, like wanting to put two in some administrator's chest over a surprise bill. it was like a child custody thing. obviously, an all time move for getting the courts to restore your visitation rights: getting tooled up and coming into an ER, in full yosemite sam mode.
anyway, so there's been a security checkpoint there ever since. gotta go by the armed guy with the security wand before you can even get into the ER. every time i see it i remember how fucked this country is and how me or somebody i know is gonna get clipped over some idiot's personal bullshit because we were in the background buying toilet paper and cat food.
