Welcome
We're not The Onion! Not affiliated with them in any way! Not operated by them in any way! All the news here is real!
The Rules
Posts must be:
- Links to news stories from...
- ...credible sources, with...
- ...their original headlines, that...
- ...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”
Comments must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.
And that’s basically it!

MODERATORS
Stop wasting tax dollars stopping this man doing what he wants.
But it’s dangerous; he could end up in a better place.
The issue was that he threatened to detonate a bomb if the coast guard got close. He also said he had knives and would kill himself.
hm, that change the story, not like I would check what you said
The reason this escalated is they were harassing him. They detained him for days, looking for a problem that wasn't there.
He definitely would have died at least twice if not for coast guard intervention, and it seems like that's what he wants.
