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.

Oh, so let me get this straight: Six months of jail time for weaponizing apian assault on badge-wearing servants of capital, but absolutely zero consequences for the systemic, routine devastation of booting an 80-year-old cancer patient out of his house so some predatory lending vulture can liquidate his assets. The sheriff found the bee incident “unlike anything our team has ever experienced.” Yeah buddy, because you experience housing destruction so fucking regularly it doesn’t even register as anomalous anymore. It’s background radiation at this point. Just another Tuesday enforcing the financial rape of sick people. “We try to help people through difficult situations,” Cocchi said, while literally being the instrument of their most difficult situation. That’s some real I’m very sorry for this but I’m going to do it anyway energy. “We’re compassionate genocidalists” is basically what you’re saying. Rebecca Woods showed up with an actual physical manifestation of “NO” and the state’s response was to break her face into pavement and jail her for six months. But the eviction? Chef’s kiss. Totally cool, totally legal, totally normal. The fact that his statement treats getting swarmed by bees as the shocking aberration rather than, I dunno, the routine judicial destruction of someone’s life is just peak American law enforcement tunnel vision. You know what’s “unprecedented”? Actually giving a shit about the person you’re destroying. Woods failed, the guy lost his home, and everyone’s fine with that. That’s the part that should be “unlike anything we’ve experienced.“
FUCK THESE PIGS
FUCK THIS SYSTEM
STING ALL THE FUCKING PIGS
I think you hit on the real problem. Why does the law in that state allow for an eviction before the judge hears the case?
And why is there not a safety net that would ensure the best interests of both the rentor and the rentee? It would cost a lot less for sure. And everyone involved would be happier.
That said, these vops showed far better restraint than we usually see. Many would have just shot her immediately. Small step forward, but still a step foreward.
LOL. This is the stupidest take.
Sometimes, I feel kind of bummed when I wake up in the morning.. but when I read a comment like this and go "What a fucking idiot" it makes me feel a tiny bit better.
Have some ketchup with that boot
Or we could demand that our horrible system be dismantled and rebuilt without financial parasites, the perpetrators fined, bankrupted, and jailed, and the victims fully compensated for their losses.
That would definitely be more effective than charity.
Oh a severe case of -fuck you! I got mine.- congrats on your elite mindset. It is going to trickle down on everyone. Any minute now.
