It's the dunk tank.

This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.

Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.

Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.

Rule 3: No sectarianism.

Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome

Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)

Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.

Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.

Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to [email protected]

Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again

my toddler son entered the room, unable to breathe and grasping at his throat. as I am a highly trained American cop, my fear pushes me to deploy a tactical response. my first general order is to gain control of the situation. to immediate effect of the afformentioned duty, I unholstered my weapon, pointed it at him, and yelled at him to get on the ground.

my brain has been certified by the shooting board as "Good, Actually" and I have been cleared to return to my status as training officer.

If the toddler was following the rules they would never have choked on anything. Clearly they were no angel.

[–] [email protected] 17 points 8 months ago

You literally just said your toddler son was rushing you. You didn’t have a choice

HOW DOES SHOOTING A MAN WHOS LITERALLY SET HIMSELF ON FIRE MAKE THE FIRE LESS DANGEROUS YOU STUPID ASSHOLE AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

[–] [email protected] 39 points 8 months ago

This is legitimately driving me mad, Im so pissed off at the insanely fascist mind of the average liberal.

[–] [email protected] 29 points 8 months ago

That's the kind of world they want to live in, but they don't want the citizens to have the guns.

Cop who panics during public speaking and points gun at the audience

GET ON THE FUCKING GROUND RIGHT NOW! DON'T MOVE! HANDS ON YOUR HEAD!

[–] [email protected] 34 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago) (1 children)

Its like the bit in Disco Elysium if you fail the Authority check and you start crying and screaming at nothing. Except its real life and these guys constantly kill people because of it.

I just downloaded the game but haven't been able to play it yet.

Everything I hear about it, including this, is great. Haha

[–] [email protected] 16 points 8 months ago

Its reputation is well earned. Its easily one of the best video games Ive ever played.

[–] [email protected] 49 points 8 months ago (1 children)

The Ukraine flags are kind of convenient at this point. Whenever I see one in a person's profile I know I'm about to hear something monstrous and lacking in empathy, so it doesn't come as so much of a surprise.

[–] [email protected] 29 points 8 months ago (2 children)

But you’re supposed to feel empathy when a member of the Azov Battalion dies

[–] [email protected] 16 points 8 months ago (1 children)

No, you're supposed to make a performative display of empathy, not actually feel anything.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 8 months ago

They must be grade a actors then with how emotional they get over that shit

[–] [email protected] 11 points 8 months ago

Nazi losers getting themselves killed in unwinnable offensives is heroism, dying as a protest against genocide is a result of mental illness

[–] [email protected] 32 points 8 months ago

They have a stronger fear reaction than empathy reaction, and their response to fear is deadly force.

[–] [email protected] 32 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Notice that little attempt to insinuate that he rushed at the pig. Fucking disgusting freak shit.

[–] [email protected] 28 points 8 months ago

Right after admitting they didn't even watch the video, no less.

[–] [email protected] 29 points 8 months ago

When dealing with liberals, never attribute to malice that which can be attributed to both malice and stupidity.

[–] [email protected] 28 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Haven't seen it either, but...

No investigation, no right to speak.

No, fuck it.

Ukraine/Israel flag emoji, no right to speak.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 8 months ago

Honestly, the latter is covered by the former.

Demons, husks, vampires, draugr, jotunn, djinn, zombies, ghouls. None of them compare to liberals.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 8 months ago

Hey now. Djinn are cool. Don't bring them into this.

"I havent seen it either but (horrificly cruel nonsense)"

Every day liberals enlighten me more on why the Soviet Union used the term "Citizen" rather than "Comrade" as an insult.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 8 months ago

It wasn't an insult, but a default official address term for non-communists.

[–] [email protected] 20 points 8 months ago

I did see the video and the pig in question keeps pointing his gun at Bushnell after he has collapsed on the ground and others are putting him out with fire extinguishers.

[–] [email protected] 19 points 8 months ago (2 children)

Perhaps he's wondering why you'd shoot a man who set himself on fire!? [BANE]

The fire rises

[–] [email protected] 19 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago) (2 children)

So it's like... there's kind of something here? That probably was the first time that cop had ever seen someone on fire, and when we find ourselves face to face with completely new experiences, we tend to fall back on instinct or training. And the training that the cop fell back on was drawing his weapon and threatening the man who was on fire, so that tells you a little bit about cops (that we knew already). I also wouldn't be surprised if that cop needs therapy after seeing that shit up close and in person.

[–] [email protected] 17 points 8 months ago

maybe he thought firearms are for fighting fire

[–] [email protected] 6 points 8 months ago

Hopefully he needs therapy and hopefully that therapy will lead him to finding a new line of work

[–] [email protected] 19 points 8 months ago

So they agree, a cops instinct is to shoot first and not help

[–] [email protected] 17 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Gregory's second comment is correct. When you panic, you default to your training. It's the whole reason you train in the first place. This dude short-circuited and ended up on the default "draw gun and yell get on the ground" loop.

[–] [email protected] 22 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Thats the least problematic comment in the thread, yeah, but thats still horrific. That American police are trained to default to pulling out their weapon is an insane fucking thing

[–] [email protected] 17 points 8 months ago

Oh, sorry, I meant that it was the only correct comment. The rest are insane and not worth engaging with. That's my fault for poor wording.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Need shinigami eyes but it shows if people used the flag on their social media

[–] [email protected] 4 points 8 months ago

Tbf I literally can know exactly which flags they use just by their comments and statements before I even go to their profiles, which means that ultimate analytical ability is indeed true.

I just lost my like 6th account because of a violation of the tos on violent speech and these liberal dogs are going to drive me to lose my 7th.

Depraved Zionist cretin revels in human suffering, what a surprise!
