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.

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.

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.

“You know, there’s many different factors that go into something like that,” Bovino said. “It would be agent experience, intelligence that indicates there’s illegal aliens in a particular place or location.

“Then, obviously, the particular characteristics of an individual, how they look. How do they look compared to, say, you?” he said to the reporter, a tall, middle-aged man of Anglo descent.

Remember when this was more of a joke.

It was satire, but it’s always been true. That’s why the Green Book ~~had~~ has to exist.

But Larry Goone, 59, saw the immigration officers and protesters differently. He was riding an electric fat-tire bike to the lakeshore when he came across them.

“I saw these [officers] being completely heckled on the river and I just yelled out to them, ‘Hey, I appreciate what you’re doing,’ because most of Chicago does want this,” said Goone, a suburbanite who works in casino marketing. “These people just are doing their jobs.”

Goone praised the officers for going after “illegals for coming here illegally.”

What did Goone think of the protesters?

“This here is organized by George Soros and antifa, and I wouldn’t doubt that half are being paid to protest,” Goone speculated without any evidence. “I don’t understand what they’re doing.”

Casino marketing is the career you choose when you can't decide which path to reject as the lesser evil. Checks out that he's a warped, conspiracy-spouting shithead. I'd wager that there's a lot he doesn't understand.

I love the guy from the suburbs confidently saying “most of Chicago does want this.” Classic.

[–] Nojustice@lemmy.ml 1 points 8 months ago

I fucking can't stand suburbanites that act like they know a single fucking thing about Chicago.

Every sentence revealing more about Larry Goone's state of being made my eyebrows climb higher towards my hairline.

Truly you cannot make this shit up anymore, this would be a caricature of an adult in any other century.

[–] Witchfire@lemmy.world 20 points 8 months ago

I guarantee he uses AI for everything

[–] WilhelmStroker@lemmy.world 16 points 8 months ago

His last name checks out.

[–] teawrecks@sopuli.xyz 5 points 8 months ago

Nominative determinism

[–] Dorkyd68@lemmy.world 4 points 8 months ago

Well at least his name is fitting. He is 100% a goone

Life imitates art.
For most writers a good day is when life and the people they meet allow them to channel Truman Capote. Yesterday, those writers got to channel Douglas Adam’s without even trying.

Meanwhile, an observer began recording the interaction. Bovino approached the observer and questioned his citizenship status.

More American than you, you nazi trash.

Ah. So business as usual then I take it.

Interested in learning more about U.S. domestic policy? https://www.federalregister.gov/ Stay informed, stay aware. If you know the laws and policy they're putting forward, you can do something about it.

Want to learn a bit more about international policy and events? https://news.un.org/en/

It's a lot more explicit than it was.

Used to be they'd pretend to have some sort of race-neutral reason. They've stopped doing that.

[–] atzanteol@sh.itjust.works 25 points 8 months ago

Scotus said it's okay so ..

[–] KeenFlame@feddit.nu 2 points 8 months ago

Why it seems like yes absolutely this man is chased for how he looks

[–] AbidanYre@lemmy.world 2 points 8 months ago

I like how the asshole who starts sprinting at him first almost faceplants coming off the curb.

[–] Reverendender@sh.itjust.works 14 points 8 months ago

You better watch it with that talk. I don’t like the way you look.

This is what I am afraid of if they are in all blue cities by the midterms in the day of election they in theory can hold anyone they want.

[–] lowleekun@ani.social 30 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Shoot the fascists. You guys were good at that some decades ago.

[–] discosnails@lemmy.wtf 12 points 8 months ago (1 children)

We're always a bit late to the party though.

[–] lowleekun@ani.social 5 points 8 months ago

Who isn't. Life sucks often and getting my ass up in my free time is extra hard. It is however something that needs to be done. So id advise everyone to search for allies irl.

I love that this image has a black guy standing in the mix who should be wondering whether he is supposed to be arresting people that don't look like him as stated, or if the racism is pointed at a particular ethnicity.

[–] betterdeadthanreddit@lemmy.world 12 points 8 months ago

"They're not targeting me" (right now/overtly/yet).

[–] PissingIntoTheWind@lemmy.world 11 points 8 months ago

They won’t dare take on actual gangs and the drug trade in the cities. That will get the officers hurt. They’ll bother law abiding citizens.

[–] desmosthenes@lemmy.world 6 points 8 months ago

right outside trump tower - coincidence?
