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-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--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

When it rains…. It’s piss!

[–] miz@hexbear.net 7 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

normally I have to visit pissnews.com to get this much news about piss

[–] cfgaussian@lemmygrad.ml 30 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Disgusting. Well deserved fine, especially for the fact that they had the audacity to post it online. China is right to make an example of this sort of antisocial behavior before it becomes a trend.

Unless these are rich kids, the specific amount is probably a bit excessive. It's not really humane to keep someone in debt for a decade for something they did as a minor, especially something that, while certainly harmful and deserving discouragement, isn't exactly arson.

It also found that the teens' parents had "failed to fulfil their duty of guardianship" and ordered that they bear the compensation, state media reported. 

This includes 2m yuan for operational and reputational damage, 130,000 yuan to one of the caterers for tableware losses and cleaning expenses, and 70,000 yuan in legal costs.

Looks like it’s the parents on the hook for it

Exactly. The only way this doesn't seem really excessive to me is if it's like that €100,000 speeding ticket in Finland that made the news because they assign a penalty based on either income or net worth (I forgot which)

[–] blobjim@hexbear.net 29 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Excessive fine, hopefully it was because the parents were rich or something like that. The article also says the 17-year-old kids were drunk.

unclear if it's total or each

[–] SoyViking@hexbear.net 19 points 1 week ago

It is clearly an antisocial act that deserves a sanction that will be significant to offenders. Fuck the private property thing, pissing in other people's food is fucking gross. I hope the fines are scaled to the financial situation of the offenders but in general I don't think fines are the best way of dealing with this. You don't become a more responsible member of society by having to pay a lot of money, you only become poorer.

Personally I think a better sanction would have been some kind of community service combined with programmes for education, employment and hobbies/sports/etc. that sought to remedy the causes for their antisocial behaviour and reintegrate them in the community.

ast Friday, a Shanghai court found that the teenagers had infringed upon the companies' property rights as well as reputation through "acts of insult", noting that their actions contaminated tableware and "caused strong discomfort among the public".

Dipshit capitalist country more concerned with capitalists "property rights" and reputation than actual justice.

If they deserve punishment make it among the public sphere e.g years of community services for the entire family or something. Isn't that what the dipshits are so concerned about the "reputational" damage lol. So make them do something actualy good for society instead of debt slavery. Putting an entire family on debt $300k is an insane amount yet predictably some people will defend this shit.

Finally, a country where “It’s just a prank, bro.” doesn’t fucking fly.

No price is too great for pissless hotpot. Antisocial behavior should be punished, and hopfuly an example is made out of these kids.

[–] vovchik_ilich@hexbear.net 12 points 1 week ago

No price is too great for pissless hotpot.

Tagline pls

[–] Tabitha@hexbear.net 6 points 1 week ago (1 children)

why would anyone pay $300,000 to urinate in a hotpot?

[–] BountifulEggnog@hexbear.net 7 points 1 week ago

Kink is expensive

[–] traxanh@hexbear.net 6 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

From what I've read, the company wanted compensation of up to 23 million yuan, citing costs like refunds to affected customers and reputational damage, but the court ruled that this was speculative and reduced it to 2.2 million yuan

[–] insurgentrat@hexbear.net 3 points 1 week ago

That's an insane amount of money wtf. Unless this family is loaded they're intergenerationally ruined because of one horrible but harmless act.
