NBC:

Kyle Rittenhouse, who gained fame for opening fire at a 2020 civil rights rally in Wisconsin....

I think you mean for murdering two people and maiming a third, you fucking shit-rag.

Oh god. The contemporary Wikipedia article is even worse.

[-] Tabitha@hexbear.net 8 points 6 days ago

The communists couldn’t take me out

a strange thing to say when the only thing you're known for is showing up at a protest with a gun excited about mass murdering people.

[-] ziggurter@hexbear.net 2 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago)

...and literally saying—the night before, on camera—you were going to do it, which the shitwad judge thought was irrelevant and didn't allow as evidence.

brown recluse bites are nasty as fuck but extremely survivable sicko-wistful

you also basically have to antagonize those guys on purpose to get them to bite you, so that seems in character for this shithead

Spiders have the right to defend themselves

[-] Spacehooks@reddthat.com 7 points 1 week ago

Really an important lesson for children to learn. Everything has the right to defend itself. Don't be suprised it fights back.

[-] Kefla@hexbear.net 37 points 1 week ago

Eh, brown recluses hide in tight spaces... such as gloves, shoes, bedsheets, and such. Very common for people to accidentally pin them and get bit.

Right, but man the scars those bites can leave are gnarly.

Hope it's on his face... And it goes to his brain. I just hope everyone has a good time as he dies.

If he gets super powers we can call him Spiderklan

[-] refolde@hexbear.net 10 points 1 week ago

Shit, I got excited when I first saw the post, only to realize that since we live in hell, not only will he survive this, he will also get super powers from it as well.

[-] Goblinmancer@hexbear.net 8 points 1 week ago

That spider HAD to cross two counties and a state line floating thru the air on a silk thread with only a venom sac and chelicerae to help protect local businesses because the state wouldn't do it's job

[-] microfiche@hexbear.net 35 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

I wanna see it in a week. I'm calling bullshit til then.

[-] DogThatWentGorp@hexbear.net 25 points 1 week ago

Uncritical support for comrade spider.

[-] Cysioland@lemmygrad.ml 10 points 1 week ago

Uncritical support for spidey comrades for dealing with flies and mosquitoes

[-] GrouchyGrouse@hexbear.net 21 points 1 week ago

I’m like a million hours late to this thread so there’s no way I’m the first one to post this but I’m going for it anyway: Bittenhouse

[-] SexUnderSocialism@hexbear.net 20 points 1 week ago

“The communists couldn’t take me out and i’ll be damned if I let a brown recluse take me out,” said the gunman who opened fire in Kenosha,

What this loser doesn't know is that this spider is an arachno-communist.

[-] Llituro@hexbear.net 16 points 1 week ago

huh, never been jealous of a spider before...

Welcome to c/news! We aim to foster a book-club type environment for discussion and critical analysis of the news. Our policy objectives are:

We ask community members to appreciate the uncertainty inherent in critical analysis of current events, the need to constantly learn, and take part in the community with humility. None of us are the One True Leftist, not even you, the reader.

Newcomm and Newsmega Rules:

The Hexbear Code of Conduct and Terms of Service apply here.

  1. Link titles: Please use informative link titles. Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed.

  2. Content warnings: Posts on the newscomm and top-level replies on the newsmega should use content warnings appropriately. Please be thoughtful about wording and triggers when describing awful things in post titles.

  3. Fake news: No fake news posts ever, including April 1st. Deliberate fake news posting is a bannable offense. If you mistakenly post fake news the mod team may ask you to delete/modify the post or we may delete it ourselves.

  4. Link sources: 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 the Xcancel.com (or another Nitter instance) or at least strip out identifier information from the twitter link. There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance, such as Libredirect or archive them as you would any other reactionary source.

  5. Archive sites: We highly encourage use of non-paywalled archive sites (i.e. archive.is, web.archive.org, ghostarchive.org) so that links are widely accessible to the community and so that reactionary sources don’t derive data/ad revenue from Hexbear users. If you see a link without an archive link, please archive it yourself and add it to the thread, ask the OP to fix it, or report to mods. Including text of articles in threads is welcome.

  6. Low effort material: Avoid memes/jokes/shitposts in newscomm posts and top-level replies to the newsmega. This kind of content is OK in post replies and in newsmega sub-threads. We encourage the community to balance their contribution of low effort material with effort posts, links to real news/analysis, and meaningful engagement with material posted in the community.

  7. American politics: Discussion and effort posts on the (potential) material impacts of American electoral politics is welcome, but the never-ending circus of American Politics© Brought to You by Mountain Dew™ is not welcome. This refers to polling, pundit reactions, electoral horse races, rumors of who might run, etc.

  8. Electoralism: Please try to avoid struggle sessions about the value of voting/taking part in the electoral system in the West. c/electoralism is right over there.

  9. AI Slop: Don't post AI generated content. Posts about AI race/chip wars/data centers are fine.
