I now aspire to be so gay of a cyclist I get arrested for it

[–] 7bicycles@hexbear.net 7 points 6 months ago

Seems like a real low bar to clear, given what happened here

[–] AntiOutsideAktion@hexbear.net 38 points 6 months ago

To make the incident even stranger, the pair had five guns pointed at them, before they were arrested and taken to jail.

agony-shivering woah so weird!

I cant wait to dance on the roofs at the next 9/11

[–] anarchoilluminati@hexbear.net 3 points 6 months ago (1 children)

I don't know if you forgot what happened on 9/11, because you should never forget, but you probably wouldn't want to be on any rooftops.

[–] OrionsMask@hexbear.net 3 points 6 months ago

Nah, just not on two rooftops in particular.

I think Oklahoma is definitely in the running for the most backwards state. Not sure if you guys remember this one too:

http://webserver1.lsb.state.ok.us/cf_pdf/2023-24%20INT/hB/HB3133%20INT.PDF

Any person who:

  1. Is of Hispanic descent living within the state of Oklahoma;
  2. Is a member of a criminal street gang as such term is defined in subsection...
  3. Has been convicted of a gang-related offense...

shall be deemed to have committed an act of terrorism

That bill is from January 2024...

I guess being homosexual is illegal in Oklahoma now??

[–] Abracadaniel@hexbear.net 12 points 6 months ago

I think the issue was that they were naked. The article buries the lede but context really makes it seems like they sprayed each other off while changing out of their cycling gear. I'm not defending the response of the locals but this post is pretty misleading.

Can you give a link for the quote on the title?

First they came for the gay cyclists... and they took me right away because I was one of them

Former road pros Laurens ten Dam and Thomas Dekker have explained how an emergency shower in the countdown to this year’s edition of Unbound Gravel led them to being arrested.

According to Ten Dam, the bizarre series of events began the day after Dekker had flown in for the Unbound race when the two drove to their usual stopover point of a supermarket. However, they found that a recent tornado had destroyed both the supermarket building and a department store – which presumably they normally used to change out of cycling kit – next door.

"We stood between the car doors, taking a shower. Suddenly I hear a man screaming very loudly. But we just wanted to freshen up for the Mexican."

Seems like these guys mught've underestimated the backwardness of US attitudes on nudity. In which cas the arrest is less surprising, but still unjust imo.

we just wanted to freshen up for the Mexican panting

What's everybody looking at?

[–] lars@lemmy.sdf.org 2 points 6 months ago

I may or may not have some Mexican in me right now, but when he gets tired….

Every anglosphere country is in a bare-knuckled fight on who hates anything remotely fun the most.

What’s next, are gyms going to be banned because any muscle mass is too risqué?

[–] came_apart_at_Kmart@hexbear.net 3 points 6 months ago (1 children)

if the next Oklahoma Governor, Phil Leotardo has his way, absolutely.

At least they can make some nice money by suing, right?

whomst amongst us has not been fined a few hundred dollars for doing something construed as "gay" in an Oklahoma parking lot.

as I understand it, Oklahoma's revenue from fines for "doing something gay" make up 46% of the entire state police budget. I had to pay a $30 fine for buying lavender scented soap there. a class 2 "kinda gay" offense.
