    Reminds me of this photograph.

    The mother of the woman was imprisoned in a concentration camp by the nazis. The guy later killed a Jew.

    I'm glad this is on Lemmy.

    Reddit would put you on a list, send it to DHS, and give you a 3 day ban...just for up-voting.

    That's what motivated me to make an account here. Reddit are fascist sympathizers.

    I often wonder if DHS is aware of the threadiverse. I would assume so but who knows? At least I don't think our admins would cooperate with them for the most part.

    US law enforcement subpoenas data centers and servers often. For a physical server, the FBI will leave a windows sever running and gain access, if it is a Linux sever however, they will to confiscate the server. I'm not sure what they do for cloud hosted servers.

    All the more reason to be on a non-US based server right now.

    Worth noting that a lot of their subpoenas are BS though and could be fought successfully. Big tech is too scared to do even minor things to protect their users because the regime will retaliate in other ways that could cost them money. Small hobby servers don't have the same avenue of attack, although they might be more vulnerable in other ways.

    WTF are all US schools like that? With all that security it looks like it was filmed in an airport

    Because we have school shootings all the damn time. It still won't stop them from happening but it's not like we're gonna go after the source of the problem and ban guns anytime soon. Security theater is the best thing administrations can do and the kids are those who end up suffering the most out of it.

    Cops at schools often escalate problems and use excessive force on children.

    And we can't go after the guns because patriots are going to use them in case the government ever starts doing tyrannical things like grabbing people off the streets without due process, killing protesters, breaking into houses without warrants, or threatening the voting system.

    If any of that happens sometime in the future the good ol' boys will be ready to protect the Constitution and we'll understand that all the dead kids were worth it.

    Granted it's been a bit since I've been in highschool but mine didn't remotely have that level of security. We had a rent-a-cop show up maybe twice a week who did breathalyzer tests as people came into the school. There were two entrances though so people just went to whichever one they weren't at. They also tried having a drug dog come in every so often but we revolted and all the students started putting open bags of poppy seeds and dog treats in our lockers so that didn't last long lol

    If you are in the same room as a Nazi and you are not punching the Nazi there are two Nazis in the room.

    Any word on what happened to this kid?
    Are they arresting kids or just suspension or am I just showing my age?

    This kid overnight became the coolest kid in school, maybe the coolest kid in any school.

    Boy is an icon.

    Now that I know the context, the kid is a hero. Us Lemmy people are proud of you.

    My grandpa would have approved this and said something like "ah, that takes me back".

    The WORST kind of shithead is the one who does shitty things because they're technically legal.

    The kid in the original video didn't need to walk around school 'protesting' his support of the status quo. He didn't need to act like he was some kind of fucking minority. Then as soon as his actions met any kind of negative (to him) repercussions he was all like "THAT'S ILLEGAL".

    And I don't wish pain or injury on him. I just wish him to fuck off. I nothing him. I wish him a future where he can look back upon this episode with shame that he was such a piece of shit at this stage in his life.

    But he won't.

    The usual shitehawks and grifters will champion him for their own gain, they'll inflate him and make him feel important, and at worst he'll end up becoming a figurehead for the oppressed, silent, majority. A silent majority who I wish would shut the fuck up once in a while.

    "I support ICE" is the new "I'm a racist"

    Prove me wrong.
