Boy they sure do protect their own, don't they.
Necrodancer here, he's now undead and will be part of the undead ballet force we're creating in ~~western florida~~ (ew, no) a graveyard near you!
Necromancer here, he's now undead and will be part of the undead army we're creating in western florida.
And in other news, generalissimo Francisco Franco is still dead.
Hang on I'll go check...
Yep, still dead.
Now?
You're not gonna believe this...
He's in a stable condition...
Stop horsing with the corpse and give me a straight answer!
I turned it into a marionette.
Permanently.
I have the feeling they're not sending their best
Authorities revealed that Horton also lived in the neighborhood, about a half-mile from the scene, and may have been experiencing a mental health episode or under the influence of narcotics.
Or was he in a cop gang like the gangs that the L.A. Sheriff's Department has and this was an initiation? Because that option feels almost as likely as the other two. If L.A. has cop gangs, why wouldn't Atlanta?

Police gangs? That's the most dystopian thing I've heard of in a long time.
I'm 60. When I was a teenager my grandfather told me stories of his run-ins with the lasd when he was a teenager. Police gangs are nothing new.
I see. This is the first time I've heard of it. Middle class Norwegian here.
When you hear American leftists still want guns for some reason, this is why.
They released doorbell video of the incident. Dude's running through the neighborhood, half naked, yelling incoherently. Runs up to the home, pounds on the door, rolls around on the porch, still yelling, something about his girlfriend. Bath salts type of crazy.
Reminds me of my fraternity initiation.
Reminds me of my wedding night
Sounds like he touched a particle of fentanyl.
Don’t be ridiculous. It’s definitely not fentanyl.
We all know if he’d touched one even just one a tiny bit, it would have instantly absorbed through his skin and he would have fallen down dead on the spot, like he got unplugged in “The Matrix”
It’s just science, bro.
If that's the case, then the gang thing is probably unlikely.
But I do think that the whole 'police gang' thing needs more scrutiny because there is no way L.A. is the only county with such things.
I mean police were originally extortion gangs and slave catchers. They are a state sanctioned gang.
We don’t need to be making up false correlations to justify ACAB. If anything, doing so harms the credibility of our arguments, and would be on par with the fallacy that if any group does one thing, then all groups must do it too (eg, the political “both sides” argument when someone brings up how one side is notorious for a specific behavior).
All that to say, no need to jump to conclusions and potentially spread misinformation based on a personal bias until the facts are clear on the matter. Otherwise, “we” are no better than “them”.
