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-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--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

Nope, not too long ago there was a case of someone pulling into the wrong driveway by accident and was killed. Petite boater kulak bourgeoise hanging out by the window with a rifle looking for trouble.

If I'm not mistaken the driveway shooter was convicted for that.

Gun culture was a mistake.

The following day? I guess the piggies were very busy doing whatever they do on a weekend night.

The 24-year-old worker, originally from West Africa, was asking for directions when he was shot Friday night. The following day, police arrested the town’s highway superintendent, John J. Reilly III. He is charged with first-degree assault, criminal possession of a weapon and criminal possession of a firearm — all felonies.

[...]

When he tried to seek help at Reilly’s home, Reilly allegedly told the driver to get off his property. As the driver tried to leave in his vehicle, Reilly allegedly fired three shots from a .45 caliber handgun. One went through the back of the victim’s car, hitting him in his back, Kolek said.

honkiest name I've ever heard

Now I want to know if the J stands for Jeb.

That's not a small caliber! I wonder if the criminal possession charges were because they were already on probation for something else.

highway superintendent, John J. Reilly III

I assumed he was a piece of shit so I googled him but I got nowhere. Two results were for Facebook and after I clicked them - I got annoyed. They require a log-in.

They require a log-in.

Seriously hate that shit, between AI and mandatory log-ins the internet is alread dead
