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 !shitreactionariessay@lemmygrad.ml

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

Porter thought he had his training gun in his holster, not his real, loaded gun, his lawyer said.

First rule of firearms: Assume your firearm is still unloaded if it was unloaded the last the time you checked

He'd been making jokes leveled at the trainee all day. He'd brought a firearm into a place where they're expressly forbidden, in a training that did not involve firearms, and had up to a dozen police personnel there in case of any security issue happening, and he walks a few paces to swivel and fire into a group...

Computer, enhance.

...AND HE'S DOING THE SIDE GRIP TOO

Wouldn't it be funny if he had hit someone who wasn't the target of the joke? "My client did not intend to kill the victim; in fact, my client was intending to aim at someone else."
