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-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--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

Good read and rings true to me

I have absolutely nothing to contribute to the discourse I just wanted to point out: UNITED KONGDOM

[–] NuraShiny@hexbear.net 24 points 1 week ago (1 children)

The absolute idiocy of inscribing anything onto your ammo. I am convinced an actual professional could have easily gotten away with this. You cannot convince me that he didn't want to get caught.

Yesterday, just a day after the shooting, Tom MacDonald put out a music video on the shooting. It's pretty boring though, not worth watching. It's hard to even find things to say about it, though Tom, in classic Tom fashion, committed very hard to villifying woke people and that was competing for being the main message:

Another woke coward took a life with a gun

The patriots ain't dangerous, woke people are the terrorists

And I'm so tired of the left and all the wokery

We can't get along if you just kill us when we don't agree

Sniper rifle fire from a liberal that no one sees

Using the term "wokery" and trying to rhyme it is the closest thing he's had to a lyrical impulse in like 5 albums, so there's that.

Also I found it kind of funny he says "I'll preach what you taught me" like this isn't basically the first time he ever mentioned Kirk besides the short he did reacting to the death when it happened. But I do need to emphasize that this is literally everything I can find in the song that's even mildly worth noting to me, and I probably take more personal interest in looking at this particular brand of trash than anyone else here, so it's not worth seeing the rest.

Anyway, I mention this because, just like with the Trump shooting, he put out a song in like 24 hours to chase the headline and promote himself with pure hog rage. It's amazing how these scumbags immediately start finding ways to trying to advance their career when the dude's body isn't even cold, let alone buried. It's so brazenly cynical.
