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-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--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

The man arrested in the killing, 51-year-old Aaron Myers, told police that he was not working at the time he shot and killed Hazrat Ali Rohani, who was returning a malfunctioning airsoft gun to the Big 5 store in Renton. But he had offered to keep watch due to alleged rising crime in the area.

Unbelievably pathetic sad loser behavior

this motherfucker is 51 years old and volunteering to do his low paying job for a corporate store for free

Hazrat Ali Rohani,

Something tells me he didn't shoot the kid because of the airsoft alone

At least you could argue Rittenhouse was a dumb teen, this motherfucker is 50, an off duty security guard with kids. And is it any coincidence that the person killed had an Arabic sounding name? It doesn't mention the ethnicity of the victim but I'm sure the guy saw the group of teens and thought "It's my duty as a patriot to stop Radical Islamic Terrorists"

Didn't even dawn on me his name was Arabic sounding. For sure he profiled then shot this kid.

I found a YouTube link in your comment. Here are links to the same video on alternative frontends that protect your privacy:

Man this could have been me as a teenager. Owned airsoft guns and used to play with friends in backyards and shit. Kind of a dangerous combo when you've got psyhcos with real guns just looking for an excuse to shoot someone and kids with toy guns that look real.

When I was a kid we had a lockdown because two men with camo and rifles were walking past the school. The police calmly approached them and questioned them, determined they were on their way to go hunting and let them go without incident. Needless to say, they were white.

Shit like this makes me rethink my beliefs on the death penalty

I hope this cum stain dies in prison and his son never sees him in anything but a jumpsuit ever again.

Semantic ambiguity in title made me think he used the air soft gun to kill the teen.

Same here, I was very confused.

learned about this one on minion death cult. got so mad i had to turn it off

i think dude's fucked though he basically impersonated a cop and im sure cops and prosecutors love that. he's not "one of them".

not even a prison guard. lowest of the low. so they'll make an example of him.
