Am I right in thinking someone’s crowdfund plea is a scam if they have a multi-year old Twitter account but not a single post that is not a retweet? And they deleted all the tweets about needing help after they received $600 in donations and are just back to retweeting anime pics all the day long? Am I in the wrong?

This person was posting that they were in desperate need for money for rent for their family and had been retweeted by a mutual aid account I follow but I was on my way into the grocery store and forgot about it til the morning and when I went back to see if they met their goal, they had deleted all mention of needing help and were just posting weird anime fanart as usual. Is this normal? Obviously america is not normal and we shouldn’t have to be constantly bailing eachother out online. But is this like normal to post how desperately you need help and then erase everything within 24 hours like it didn’t happen? They did post a screenshot of their PayPal where they received $600 but that’s been erased as well. Maybe they think keeping the tweets up will ruin the aesthetic of their anime fanart account? Or maybe they’re embarrassed to have to ask for help in the first place? It’s impossible to know. Being online is weird.

[evilcousin]

Ah interesting, they’ve deleted their account

Oh hey so this is the second school shooting where on-duty cops are explicitly not able to be good guys with guns because they cowered in fear from a teenager with a rifle

So fucking sick of this "just send in armed guards and resource officers" shit when it's repeatedly proven not to do a goddamn thing

whatever solution there is for school shootings, it's clearly not putting in a guy who makes $130,000 a year to wander around a high school with a gun.

[peglegsteve-deactivated20250802]

Woa hold up. Hang on.... Seriously? 130k a year? Dude I'll happily walk school grounds to make sure anyone starting some shit like that gets put down as quickly as possible for 130k a year!

[kineticpenguin]

That's the problem. That's what we think we're paying for. What we get is a bureaucrat who knows that statistically he'll never have to do shit, so he makes that in a year by occasionally helping teachers shake kids down for weed or whatever. They will never help you in a firefight.

I found this out a few years back, that during the Columbine High School Massacre, all the police and SWAT teams that responded refused to enter the school “for fear of the safety of the officers” for so long, some of the victims died from their injuries while waiting rescue, which is even worse when you consider the two assholes killed themselves less than an hour into their attack, and the first police units entered the school around 3 hours after the whole disaster began.

I honestly believe police unions should be abolished, perhaps losing that safety blanket will force these guys to actually do their jobs, or at the very least quit once they realize they actually need to risk their lives to protect the people they’re supposed to.

[drinkpisspissblood]

I wanted to add this as a comment, that the Pulse nightclub massacre had a similar situation of gross misconduct of the police officers charged with responding to the threat

This article goes on to explain that the police responders stood outside the club and arrested “every single victim there and held them for 10 to 12 hours” and that the events started around 2am, and it took police until 5am to stop the shooter after they crashed an armored truck through the fucking wall and shot him.

[blackwoolncrown]

What kills me is all the fucking 'thin blue line' copaganda about needing to respect those mfs bc they ~put their lives at risk~ when we see REPEATEDLY that on TOP of being the biggest threats to peace and safety, they literally do NOTHING when innocent lives are at stake. The textbook situation for their hero complex, saving kids from violence, and they do NOTHING EVER. Cops are cowards.
