It's the dunk tank.

This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.

Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.

Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.

Rule 3: No sectarianism.

Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome

Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)

Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.

Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.

Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to !shitreactionariessay@lemmygrad.ml

Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again

The acorn incident and now this. By the end of this year there will be footage of a police officer running screaming from the toddler he emptied his magazine at while piss and shit run down his pants

Cops only know how to shoot defenseless people, eat donuts, and lie

The donut came right at me, I had no choice but to eat it and its whole family.

how does it feel like this should be the OG version of the meme

[–] DyingOfDeBordom@hexbear.net 34 points 8 months ago

It was a particularly surreal bit to an already surreal moment when you're watching a man burn to death

In America, bullets deter fire.

no man suspicious because he not respecting my authority

I wanna emphasize that this heroic cop shows up after the guy collapses on the floor, presumably unconscious, maybe dead. Rest easy Americans because your police are trained to shoot zombies too

[–] ComradeChairmanKGB@lemmygrad.ml 32 points 8 months ago (2 children)

My guy is playing Resident evil and shooting the bodies after he gets them with the red barrel. Juuuuust in case.

Seriously though wtf did this oinker think was gonna happen?

pointing a gun at stuff is like a security blanket

[–] FourteenEyes@hexbear.net 28 points 8 months ago

This isn't a joke. This is a factual observation.

hamas infiltrators in fireproof American military fatigues are lying in wait

[–] DyingOfDeBordom@hexbear.net 24 points 8 months ago

i should clarify that idk if the man with the gun was the one shouting "ON THE GROUND. ON THE GROUND. ON THE GROUND!" at the man burning to death, but idk if that makes it better or worse

[–] Elon_Musk@hexbear.net 21 points 8 months ago

The police response is overshadowing the fact that this guy BURNED HIMSELF ALIVE to protest the ongoing genocide.

Cosplaying "protect and serve" to mask his desire to watch a civilian burn to death

He's just trying to talk the flames down with his super think-mark order by gun powers.
