Posts must be:

  1. Links to news stories from...

  3. ...their original headlines, that...
  4. ...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”

Please also avoid duplicates.

Keyboard killers in here all ready to kill some ignorant fucks for truth and justice or anarchy or whatever.

Totally pretending there’s no lets-murder-people aspect.

Hey - you’re really gonna go shoot “some republicans”? First of all, no you’re not, and second of all should you find yourself in such an unenviable situation, you’d be a lot less gun-ho, if you’ll pardon the misexpression.

If the choice is comply and let people be killed/be killed yourself or resist and be killed, I feel like that's not even a choice.

That’s a call to make, for sure.

All I'm saying is there are a lot more possibilities than the one you presented. Violence is a serious can of worms, but take note that we're not the ones shouting this at a political rally. Get some perspective here.

Cruz did not pause or respond to the shouting, and it remains unclear whether he heard it from the stage.

i.e. this is a complete non-story; people shout things that are completely ignored (or even unheard) all the time?!

Extremism is part of our political discourse and always has been, even since the founding of the country.

Still, it's in horribly bad taste and I wish we were better than this.

IDK... the headline feels like clickbait. Which, I suppose is the point of headlines 🤔 People in the audience of a MAGA rally yelled stupid shit at Ted Cruz. Ted Cruz continued to read from his teleprompter 🙄😴
