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-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--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. --

In the people's republic of Northern Illinois the penalty for attempting to feed school kids a free breakfast is state sanctioned murder
Everything about the story reminds me of how the original version of the little mermaid takes pains to specify every step Ariel takes on land to her feels like she is walking on broken glass.
But one of the pieces of glass that sticks in my metaphorical foot is the middle class kid, O'Neal, I originally assumed must have been an undercover police officer that sold Huey down the river and drugged him. Every few years I'll pull up some Malcolm speeches or even King and I cannot imagine living around any of that and having none of it soak in on some level. It is easy to hate him for the unspeakable crime he committed, sure. And I would find it impossible to not do so.
You just read the interview with him and it's so sad how much he must have suffered before he eventually killed himself, slowly understanding just how bad the result of just doing what the FBI told him to do to avoid getting charged with whatever dumb petty crime they swept him up in was.
Shakespeare ain't got shit on the tragedy of modernity
