This being an objectively funny crime renders his sentence null and void in the hearts of the masses o7

[–] ClimateChangeAnxiety@hexbear.net 53 points 1 year ago (1 children)

We the jury find the defendant not guilty by reason of it was really funny

Ngl I like 90% believe that should be a real option

[–] ElChapoDeChapo@hexbear.net 25 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Thanks to jury nullification it technically is an option but the ruling class doesn't want anyone knowing about that one

He's getting life for this, when the cop that shot another cop to death in a library is only getting 2 years probation.

[–] absentthereaper@lemmygrad.ml 28 points 1 year ago

Of course the pig's skating... We've always known the badge gives the manifestly unfit privilege beyond anything they deserve.

shooting a cop to death shouldn't be punished at all, even if it's done by another cop

This never could have happened in a 15 minute city where no one is allowed to own a car.

I like how the article specifies the artist of Welcome to the Jungle, as if it needed clarification

[–] CloutAtlas@hexbear.net 17 points 1 year ago

In the jungle, welcome to the jungle

Mwah, I, I wanna watch you bleed

what did Axl Rose mean by these song lyrics?

[–] tocopherol@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 1 year ago

From Genius:

"Guns N' Roses introduces itself with a hard-hitting ode to a wild place that can tear anyone apart. No wonder it’s their usual setlist opener (except in the Chinese Democracy tour, where the eponymous song did the honors) and a mainstay of many sports events.

According to an interview published by Hit Parader in March 1988:

Axl wrote the words while visiting his long-time friend Tori in Kingston, Washington, a town outside of Seattle. It’s a big city, but at the same time, it’s still a small city compared to Los Angeles and the things that you’re gonna learn. It seemed a lot more rural up there. Axl just wrote how it looked to him. If someone comes to town and they want to find something, they can find whatever they want.

There has been said that Axl and a friend heard the exact same phrase that is used in the song from the lips of a homeless man, as soon as they climbed down from a bus, just after arriving in New York:

You know where you are?
You’re in the jungle, babe
You’re gonna die!"

Basically he is deriding the commodification of human activity and warning against the dehumanization and alienation that is caused by the habits of consumerism driven by capitalism.

[–] MerryChristmas@hexbear.net 7 points 1 year ago

I think you probably are just too shocked to reach for a gun when someone drives a car through your wall.
