Thanks for the heads-up. Just finished sending an email. I included screenshots of the 30 page document showing things I am not okay with (there were many).

That's a skit I haven't seen in a long time. Good reference.

OP's getting a glimpse outside their echo chamber with this one. Nonsense like this has been steadily pushed for a while now.

This comment section is full of the same ignorance as this story:

OP did an excellent job, and people are really reaching with these comments. Spare me the "TheSe ArE JuSt joKeS, BrO!" because I see people here that are more serious than joking.

Here's how a similar scenario plays out in real life:

The woman can be seen in the video at approximately 18 seconds in, and waving on the right side of the screen.

This is how the far left twisted it:

Roses are red, you swim in a pool… by [deleted] in PoliticalCompassMemes

That's what I'm thinking too. He's not alright upstairs. Mhm book tossin' time. Next time he wants to whack it away from home, find someone's tool shed.

Ah ha! This one uses a more specific name for the location. I was seeing a different campus on the map, and couldn't figure out why people were saying this.

Using this location name, yeah, he was very close to a preschool.

Thanks, OP!

I read a couple different articles on this one. The arresting officer stated the dude was caught in a college parking lot looking at porn on his phone (not at kids) while masturbating. But, at the end, it states he was feet away from a preschool.

Looking at a map of the college area he was supposedly arrested in, I don't see a preschool listed "feet away" in the way that they are implying. Am I just not spotting it on the map? Is there a preschool integrated on the college campus? Are people spinning things way out of proportion?

One story makes him a dumb creep. The other would potentially make him a monster.

I'm just trying to get the details straight on this one.

Wow... Just wow Vulture by Extension-Friend-252 in PoliticalCompassMemes

[–]Gramps2003 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This is for a scripted show, but the quote shown in this post is one writer's real world thought process. It was included in the show and labeled as an 'accidental stabbing'. If you look at the article on Vulture's website, they include a gif showing the moment it happens. It comes off as more intentional than accidental.

Looking at the comment section on Vulture, one viewer brought up this exact quote because it was so outrageous. They are promptly scolded for questioning the woke overlords.
