Welcome

We're not The Onion! Not affiliated with them in any way! Not operated by them in any way! All the news here is real!

The Rules

Posts must be:

  1. Links to news stories from...
  2. ...credible sources, with...
  3. ...their original headlines, that...
  4. ...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”

Please also avoid duplicates.

Comments and post content must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.

And that’s basically it!

Snort idea. Get there fast and get them down. If, as the article says, the most deaths happen in the first 120 seconds, then time is of the essence to stop them as quickly as possible.

Then again, they could just start feeding people properly and make guns harder to get. But since those are apparently not an option, I guess this is a "best of a bad situation" kind of deal.

Oh man… I just got nostalgic for Bush Jr.

Is it getting cold in here or is it just me? ;-)

I wonder if the tele-cops operating these things will get bonus points for friendly fire hits

I'm giving 5 to 1 that within the first three months some script kiddie will take one for a joy ride around campus.
