Just to add to the other comment... Mobile homes. There's a reason why the poor and infirm live there. No structural integrity. Light up like a match. Little protection against any serious weather. Mobile homes are notorious for uping kill counts for natural disasters.

Could you remind us who was the Pope before Jesus?

Saint Peter or are you trying to put words in OPs mouth lol?

Yep, and yet the article says nothing close to it, and is described the same way every frustrated person dealing with blocked roads does when they panic and flee and eventually get hit with significant battery or accidental manslaughter charges. Unless their car started to get beat on and they tried breaking in, in which case, it ends up being self defense. Isn't that how the charges against the dude who ran down a bunch of motorcyclicsts got free? He had his whole family with him too though iirc. I think it was this? but I swear it was denser and more in a city.

Fuck Paul Ryan, fuck Ron Johnson, fuck Robin Vos... but a broken clock is right twice a day.

If anyone wants to shit on his (parent's?) lawn, go visit Janesville lol.

Exactly. Thank you.

I am fully willing to change my thought on the matter at the drop of a hat with new information. But the way the article reads is VERY different from every terrorist car attack we've seen in the USA in previous years.

The strikers were blocking an exit to the processing center on West Bristol Road, Bade said, when the incident took place.

The driver, who drove off after the incident, has not been located, Bade said.

UAW Region 1-D President Steve Dawes told MLive-The Flint Journal that the vehicle involved in the incident was dark in color, possibly an HHR or PT Cruiser.

He added that two of the five people hit were taken to a local hospital.

“It was uncalled for,” Dawes said. “These people are out here, you know these are my membership, and they’re out here doing a peaceful, legal demonstration.

“This is very serious and we’re going to be pushing this issue.”

No, they're not. Quit watering down what terrorism means.

Terrorism is someone who specifically is trying to kill, maim, destroy, or significantly hurt people due to very narrow ideologies which are usually VERY political now.

Running people over because you can't get to work isn't one of them. That is attempted manslaughter if you hurt them bad enough, not a fucking terrorist.

Either you guys know way more about the incident than I do since you're close to the police and already know it's a Trumper who hates strikes and thought they were all gay black democrats, who potentially showed up specifically to hurt these people, or it was some asshole trying to get to work and got so manic he decided it's better to maim or kill people than to get to work.

THEY, ARE NOT, THE SAME.

For those using Imagus, make sure to click the link still. The entire comic doesn't get blown up from the thumbnail.

At least it's your average frustrated person trying to get though and not a terrorist?

Which reminds me, tell you mom she still owes me money for the Uber.

Fwiw I've always found the suburbs kids on football teams to be a mix of the asshole republican preps and the right leaning poors.

Lacrosse players though... They are the creeeeeeeeaaaam of the crop when it comes to rich racist shitheads.

Because most newspapers and websites don't use editors anymore. They're written and published directly from the writers themselves at home.

Thanks for the hot tip. I had no idea. I already had a duplicate username over on Lemmy.World so it's not too hard of a jump. Even still 13 hours, 4 days, 16 day old posts being the top posts doesn't bode well lol.

Sad !anime noises... I miss episode discussions.

That feel when Latinos are so good at stealing your jobs that they even head up the Proud Boys lol.

My what a bold self assured claim lmfao.

What the hell is poor Frankie going to do without all the snowstorms in the Midwest?

I love the hypocrisy mic drop at the end, but damn does it suck to know Republicans just don't care about it. And with 6 of them sitting on the supreme court, I see no reason why they wouldn't just meddle in state elections this time, then go right back to saying they can't help with maps lol.

There is precedent for it acting quickly in an election dispute, as it did during Bush v. Gore in 2000 — but its reputation took a hit after it was perceived as meddling in the outcome. And, he adds, it could decline to intervene at all, as it did in several cases related to election procedures ahead of 2020.

Which reminds me, say Hi to your mom for me will ya?

Do certain medications which are are strong as some and worse than many illegal disqualify someone from owning a firearm? Wasn't there pretty wide claims about Trump popping pills which would disqualify him from owning a firearm anyway?
