I love everything about this paragraph.
Griest told police he had fallen on the television and that his wife had tried to catch him but ended up getting a cut on her neck. When Griest fell, the television broke and he got a cut on his finger. Griest told officers that he called police because the incident was “going to turn into a domestic” as his wife’s drunk boyfriend was allegedly going to stop the house the following day to assault him, Hornberger wrote in the affidavit.
“his wife’s drunk boyfriend”
This has to be satire.
i thought that too, but it appears to be a real news site…
i still find it hard to believe that reality has come this close to being a made-up shitpost…
but maybe, the fortnight playing convicted pedophile actually called the police because his wife’s boyfriend might beat him up…
im pretty sure this means the universe will be collapsing in on itself pretty soon…
As a gamer, I was going to come in with an edgy “that’s what you get” joke, but with this added info… I’m doubling down on a “that’s what you get” joke.
The whole story just gets weirder every sentence.
I didn’t beleive it would but it did
The article started with Mt Carmel, so that’s just a regular Tuesday. Shit goes down on Mount Carmel.
Written by AI, maybe?
Police charged Griest with misdemeanor counts of terroristic threats, simple assault, recklessly endangering another person, and related charges.
Wtf? Cops just slap terrorism charges on every chance they get, huh?
Don’t get me wrong, the guy is a piece of shit, but terrorism? That’s not what happened here and they know it!
“Terroristic threats” is a ridiculously common charge against school age children. Dozens of 10 year olds are charged with it every month in Texas
Based on an analysis of district juvenile justice referral data we received from Brownsville ISD, the district police made 3,102 student arrests over a period of roughly two and half years from May 2021 to November 2023. That’s 135 arrests per month in the school year. Fifty-nine percent of those arrests were for felony changes.
Of those arrests, 3.5 percent were for elementary school-aged children. From the beginning of the prior school year to November 3 this year, there have been 76 arrests of students 10 to 11 years old. Charges for terroristic threats accounted for 20 percent of those arrests. Most, 66 percent, were felony charges. There were no charges for aggravated assault for this age group.
The devil must be so, so proud of Texas right now.
Right? What a heaping pile of shit that state is
Holy fuck! Fucking bastards! 🤬
I know! Who’d’ve thought there were so many terrorists in 6th grade.
first they made terrorism the biggest problem in the world, declared war on it, made tons of draconian laws against it… and then they changed what the word means.
btw, check out the Animal Enterprise Terrorism Act, which makes it “terrorism” to work at a job with livestock and then secretly film the abuse other people do to them.
in some states, that is “legally” terrorism.
(its illegally, but good luck appealing that when you’re in a guantanamo style blacksite somewhere, being force fed rectally)I’d call it Orwellian, but that’s more fucked up than anything Orwell ever imagined! 🤬
She did the world a service. If only more people would be willing to step up and cut off the wifi when someone starts playing Fortnite
Or add the Fortnite servers IP to their Pihole 😇
“Sorry, Fortnite servers don’t work at home”, and suddenly my younger cousins are a lot less thrilled to visit me for Christmas. 😂
I support these grinch-like activities 😂
Real gamer move
Heated gamer moment

Sad
Modernists: confused why this happened
Postmodernist: of course this happened, the videogame is more real to them than the human is
Isn’t fortnight for like… 8 year olds?!
Just like checkers and baseball.
We just supposed to assume that’s the whole story? Why was any of this happening? How many straws?
