Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.
5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.
No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.
10. Don't copy entire article in your post body
For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.
This kid:
And a lifetime of cred.
Fucking legend.
Worth it
Punch a Nazi and get two days off of school. Sounds like a clear win.
Hero.
Did the puncher/friends/family get assaulted by ice? I mean is there a backstory beyond "I read about it on reddit"?
AKA his school rewarded him with a trip to Disneyland-- or wherever is the equivalent for him. I hope he has fun and enjoys his celebrity. He earned it. Future leadership material right there. At least one kid was taught critical thinking skills.
Feels weird to work in Zürich, Switzerland and see Lake Zürich every day, and then read about a random US highschool on the outskirts of Chicago being called "Lake Zurich High School"
If I was his parent I would’ve made those two days the best
Should let us donate to his college fund
I hope the kid is an reincarnation of this fellow.
I hope not too much, teddy was wildly racist against Native Americans
Teddy also bathed nude in the Potomac in all weathers. Once he went with the French ambassador who insisted on keeping his gloves on in case they encountered any ladies.
Comic Sands had some background on this and I think it explains a lot:
Self-described content creator "Danny Spud" is known for producing ragebait video content. He frequently uses Ray-Ban Meta smartglasses to covertly film his "pranks."
Spuds "prank" videos routinely show him harassing strangers until they're forced to react. No one was buying his support of anything other than self-promotion. Danny Spud doesn't support ICE or law enforcement. Danny Spud only supports Danny Spud.
Spud got exactly what he was hoping for, in other words. This was his plan, his plan worked, so he should be happy, right? I had felt like an "I Love ICE" sign, in this day and age, was pretty much incitement, and it turns out, it was exactly that. In a perfect world, there would be consequences for doing that.
Holy shit this is amazing
Yeah, this take is BS.
If you hold a sign saying you’re pro-ICE, you’re pro-ICE. If you’re harassing people and pushing their buttons saying you’re pro-ICE, you are in fact pro-ICE. Anyone walking by will assume you are pro-ICE. It isn’t up to the viewer to perform a psychoanalysis of the person and calculate the odds of whether the person is lying, and if they're trolling… fuck ’em.
There kinda is. All the attention and glory is on the puncher, spud is a laughing stock. And it's gonna stay that way memetically
I got banned from Reddit for saying punching nazis is a form of self-defense.
We as a society should not tolerate the intolerant.
This happened in Seattle, proud of that.
"you'll get in trouble" "you should have complied" evil men only succeed when good men let them.
Good men don’t let them
He knew the consequences, he did it anyway. Legend.
But on the other hand he shouldn’t have to tolerate intolerance.
He should get punished. Doesn't mean it was the wrong thing to do.
It's a textbook example of chaotic good. He broke the rules to do the morally good thing.
Neutral Good considers the rules and tends to acknowledge owledge the rules are usually good, but sometimes should be bent or broken. Chaotic Good ranges from "Fuck the rules!" to "Any rule that oppresses the people is bullshit" to "The rules are sometimes okay, I guess, but I'm gonna ignore them without remorse when they make no sense." Minding that the Good component means they tend not to break rules for self-gain and/or at the expense of decent people.
Worth it to become an internet hero
Eh, if the stars align, pro-ice dude might get a meet-and-greed with his heros.
“I stand for my beliefs,” Spud said after the two were separated. “I’m going to peacefully stand here and support my beliefs. I support ICE and law enforcement,” Spud said.
“You can go peacefully f–k yourself!” the student who punched Spud yells.
What a legend.
“That’s against school code. No swearing in the school,” Spud responds.
And what a weasel.
Absolutely prototypical Grima Wormtongue guy. Would bet money he wants to get into politcs he is probably shaping his career path after Charles Kirk.
It's funny how they always support rules and laws when they benefit them, but ICE breaking the constitution multiple times per day isn't an issue.
It took him those entire two days to read all the congratulations in his inbox.
All the hi5s when he got back prob packed some punch.
Also, lmao, I know it's a thing over there, but I still did not expect security & cops at the scene by default (def did expect them be quick about protecting the ICE enthusiast).
(Also bonus funny double-take - it's Lake Zurich, Illinois.)
They keep anywhere from 4 to a dozen or so cops stationed at all the schools in my hometown. They are called Safety Resource Officers or something but they are usually state police. They're billed as being there in case of emergency. Typically they just harrass minorities and shutdown and unsanctioned student movements like strikes or walk outs. As we've seen, they dont historically do much of anything in a real emergency.
agreed, Uvalde demonstrated pretty thoroughly that school resource officers are not there for emergencies at all and should be abolished. They are low iq freeloader parasites there to LARP and provide security theater.
More people should honour Punch a Nazi Day.
(In case of doubt, Punch a Nazi Day falls on any day that ends in ‘y’.)
