I couldn't find one when I searched, so I'm starting one.

Very topical this one, but let's concentrate on the stupidity rather than the political aspect of this news item...

Here's a photo of Kevin Greeson - the 55-year-old man from Athens, Alabama who died of a "medical emergency" during the unrest in Washington D.C. yesterday. It was posted on Parler last month with the caption "I wish these motherfuckers would come to my hood!"



Apparently he died after accidentally tasering himself in the testicles and suffering a heart attack.

I'm undecided on why whatever twattish, squalid, moronic or corrupt scenario you can invent it's probably happened in America. Either there's so many people that it's inevitable, like monkeys typing Shakespeare, or if Americans are just stupid or venal.

I'd never heard of Parler, had to google it.

Apparently another moron killed themself by falling off a wall they were attempting to climb in order to get through a window. There were stairs near the wall...

You gotta feel for the guy really haven't you? All those years he spent having a hard on for Trump, probably watching Red Dawn on loop and counting his ammo in preparation for Civil War 2. Then it all actually kicks off and - Boom! Heart attack at the first hurdle.

Well, there's an option for anyone concerned or vocal about being silenced here (or anywhere else).

I really want to join it but I don't want to use an email address (or anything else) that could be connected to me.

I got sent the video of the woman in DC getting shot.


Guy other side of barricaded doors pointing automatic pistol... she tried to (what looked like) climb through... bang... she laid down dead

Better not share it though, some snowflakes on here.

Will I get banned by saying he was black, she was white... no worldwide riots today WLDMTM

Nah, Biden's beaten you to it on that comparison.

Nothing like alienating the whole police force by accusing them of being racist for not opening fire indiscriminately.

Armed cops were there and done nothing - if it had been the other way they would already be worldwide riots

They shot one and they lost one. Imagine the blowback if BLM had clubbed a cop to death.

[Wreckless Rat]

Only seen the video of the woman getting shot and the cops putting a hand up to the shooter to check he was ok

Report I read said that his colleagues reported he'd been struck with a fire extinguisher. He collapsed on returning to his office, and died in hospital.

[Wreckless Rat]

Possible indeed - as I have only seen the shooting. Hard to see how the shooter was justified, but then Jon a riot gang and I guess you can get shot, but the shooter wasn’t really in immediate risk

Treason and sedition are capital crimes in the Land of the Free. The cop just bypassed the judicial process.

[Wreckless Rat]

The cop stood next to the woman shot, with the rioters, the shooter was the other side of a barricaded set of doors...

After the shooting - the armed cop puts his hand up to the shooter and appears to be seeing if the shooter, ‘safe’ behind the doors is ok, while the woman layed on the floor dying.

Have you seen it?

[Mussels]

He's probably checking if the shooter looks like he's going to shoot again.
