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-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--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

This song was banned in my middle school
My middle school became a prison after Columbine
I got accused of wearing gang colors because I had a pair of yellow and black sneakers
They said it was Latin Kings, but it just reminded me of Bumblebee from Transformers!
the gang leader:
Being one of the resident nerds taking college classes in highschool, I was threatened with arrest for bringing my book bag full of very expensive books to school.
Look at this braggart with their book bag!/s
(My school banned book bags from middle school onward due to security concerns. It sucked so much having to hold on to 3+ textbooks in my arms for my hour+ bus rides. My arms were buff for a middle schooler.
Yeah, we had the gang color accusations as well
My friend's house got raided because some popular girls thought he was weird and was going to shoot up the school... for no apparent reason at all.
The cops tore his house to shit and gave his dad the nth degree about having a bag of lawn fertilizer in the garage.
That shit was so fucked up.
Yeah, it was pretty great because I also got shit on because I had the exact same KMFDM shirt one of the shooters was wearing
Weow! Just like Class of '09!
