Gay man says he was assaulted by Shake Shack employees after kissing his boyfriend at D.C. location
  • Multiple employees beat up a gay man after he had some PDA with his partner. No matter how you look at it the optics are horrible. Short of Mr. Dingus having a weapon or shouting slurs or something like that: there's no justification for the employees to beat and attack him.

    I feel like you're jumping through several hoops to put the blame back on the person who was beaten by multiple people.

  • Gay man says he was assaulted by Shake Shack employees after kissing his boyfriend at D.C. location
  • And then one of the men, pretty forcefully, like, pushed me out of the way on my shoulder,” Dingus said. “And then, you know, next thing I know, that kind of just, I think, sparked the rest of them. ... They all just kind of started attacking me at that point, dragging me back through the floor and continuously punching me in my head.”

    They essentially gang assaulted Mr. Dingus, and you believe it's only because of some PDA? I highly doubt it, and believe fully that this is a case of homophobia. And almost certainly a hate crime too.

  • Kyle Rittenhouse's family plead for money as they face eviction
  • The little fascist went to a counter protest with a rifle as an agitator. He was looking for a reason to use that gun, and definitely manufactured the exact thing he was looking for. Don't be such an utter dipshit.

  • He Made a PowerPoint on Mothers Starving in Gaza. Then He Lost His Government Job.
  • It's not Occams Razor to point out the US' complete bias towards Israel? It's not Occams Razor to assume employers consistently act in bad faith in the US? I believe him when he says he was forced out, it wasn't too long ago that a nurse was fired because she called out Palestinian genocide.You sound incredibly naive.

    Did you also even read the article? There are literal emails referencing/heavily hinting at the removal of any reference to Palestinian mother's starving. Something he was willing to do, but ultimately his whole slideshow was canceled. And right before the end of the conference he was at: he forced to resign. Yet you'd say it's just a coincidence.

  • He Made a PowerPoint on Mothers Starving in Gaza. Then He Lost His Government Job.
  • And that "contract ending" (firing) came about because of his views on Israel's Genocide. Him being a government contractor is besides the point since there was almost certainly governmental pressure to remove him. Whether it was hard or soft pressure.

  • Hamas no longer poses major threat to Israel, Biden says
  • So we can't ask for intervention over ongoing genocide that the US is funding?? Pull all funding from Israel, place high level sanction on Israel/Israeli leadership on par with Russia, and stop sending them fucking bombs. Stop trying to act like Biden hasn't been complicit in what's been happening.

  • Late last week, Smith said he got a call from the company that contracted his position with USAID. He was told he could either resign or be terminated over “personality differences.”

    Forcing someone to either resign or be fired is pretty much firing them.

  • After Peddling Fake Hamas 'Beheaded Babies' Story, Media Ignores Actual Beheaded Palestinian Baby
  • I definitely can't argue with the world's constant decline towards fascism and authoritarianism. Though that doesn't discount the authoritarian tendencies that existed in the Soviet Union that stop it from qualifying as a true democracy.

  • ‘He never pulled the gun up’: Neighbors release video of man shot and killed by Anchorage Police
  • There is no justification for the shooting. Failure to follow orders and shouting obscenities, even while carrying a weapon, doesn't justify murder by police. This is another case of their blatant incompetence/malice when dealing with any tense situation.

    In a just society, a cops job would be able to de-escalate and resolve the problem as cleanly as possible and with as little use of violence as possible. We don't live in a just society though, so the cops just shot him and lied saying he aimed a gun at them to justify their murder. Meanwhile, white mass shooters are taken alive and given Burger King for their effort if they hurt the right people.
