"Not a single resident will be left without help, we will support everyone as much as possible," Gusev said.
Here is a half loaf of moldy bread, a pair of socks, and a bill for your house being in the way of our bomb.
Also we stole the village washing machine
I call bullshit on them rebuilding anything.
I mean, the Russians did invent the concept of the Potemkin Village…
Accidental? Do better, Russia. America hits its targets.

From the article...
A lawsuit in federal court found that the city used excessive force and violated constitutional protections against unreasonable search and seizure.[5]
I wonder what Russia's court system will do?
Was anyone actually punished, though? All I can see is the families were awarded money.
Did the cops that drop the bomb actually get punished?? I can't find information about it.
From the same article...
City of Philadelphia ordered to pay $1.5 million in 1996 to a MOVE bombing survivor and the families of people killed, $12.83 million awarded in 2005 to residents who were made homeless.
No one from the city government was criminally charged in the attack. The only surviving adult MOVE member, Ramona Africa, refused to testify in court and was charged and convicted on charges of riot and conspiracy; she served seven years in prison.[23]
There's allot more, I just don't want to paste the whole Wiki article here. But if you read through the wiki article's "Aftermath" section it does lay out everything. There was a lot of legal action involved. Oh, which reminds me...
I wonder what Russia’s court system will do?
Oh, I don't doubt that the U.S. court system treated these people better than Russia would. I just don't think that it's accurate to compare the two on this matter.
I don't think awarding money to people because they suffered something that should never have happened is applause worthy. That's bare minimum shit, especially because this isn't the first instance something like this has happened. I'm referring to the Tulsa race massacre.

I agree.
The obvious point that the OP was making...
Accidental? Do better, Russia. America hits its targets.
... was to suggest equality between the United States and Russia and how they handle situations like this in general.
While the US did not handle it as well as it should have handled it, it did handle it better than Russia would, and to suggest otherwise is not factual, but instead just trying to sway opinion.
The OPs comment seems to be a normal state of affairs for legal versus "legal" situation comparisons of the two countries.
This is extremely fucked up. First time I've heard of this, thanks for commenting
I don’t know how I didn’t know about this at the time. I was in college and I guess I didn’t really watch the news. I was using a precursor to the internet at the time but it was all research and technical collaboration, no news
My hope is that the Russians aren't underestimated should there be another tussle. Their military reputation is really taking a pounding.
And a school no less.
Old habits something something..
"We will rebuild!"
As Ukrainian or at least a former Soviet I promise you they're not going to rebuild a goddamn thing.
How could Hamas do that?
Edit:
Authorities did not say what caused the incident.
The incident took place on Tuesday, when the state news agency RIA quoted the defence ministry as reporting an "abnormal discharge of aircraft ammunition"
Sounds like an obvious wrong target, or their jet is so unreliable it will discharge accidentally.
I was just playing with it and it went off
"I swear, comrade, that never happens."
I get so excite I bomb wiiledge, is big mess
"It's a Checkov. Russian-made, twenty five caliber. Here, it's a gift. And the safety off, so be careful, it could go off for, like, no reason. "
But if you give it to me I have to use it later in the story, it's the law
Checkov's bomb
“Heavy is good. Heavy is reliable. If it does not work, you can always hit him with it”
Here is toothpick. Take. Use to build house.
Same, but I bomb their toilets instead
A community for discussing events around the World
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
