"Family member" narc'ed.

Important lesson everyone, listen up: someone will always narc. It's a surveillance society in a heavily propagandized world. Your right to remain silent is all you get.

he called his dad and confessed. his dad advised him to turn himself in. he said he'd rather commit suicide. his dad called his youth pastor to talk him down, who called the US marshals to secure him. I feel bad for the dad.. that's got to be a genuinely horrible situation to navigate.

[–] homesweethomeMrL@lemmy.world 13 points 16 hours ago (3 children)

Youth pastor calling the marshals man. Cold.

Would Jesus narc on you? Friend, he would not. Mostly because he didn't exist but still. As a character that is not consistent.

[–] Feathercrown@lemmy.world 11 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

Jesus did actually exist. He was like a guy that was really there at some point

[–] klemptor@startrek.website 5 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

Not the dude in the Bible, because the things he's supposed to have done are impossible. So probably there was some dude that did or said some things and then got a bunch of folklore attached to him. A certain amount of the jesus story comes from contemporaneous myths - IIRC, a virgin birth was a common one.

So probably there was some dude that did or said some things and then got a bunch of folklore attached to him.

Yeah. Likely Osiris. Almost all of the Jesus stories are taken from earlier solar deity “myths” and put into 1CE Judea. Like a graduate school production of Richard III in space with cigarettes.

~~Judea~~ Palestine

FTFY

So does the youth pastor get the reward tax free?

[–] missfrizzle@discuss.tchncs.de 5 points 16 hours ago* (last edited 16 hours ago) (2 children)

Jesus wouldn't narc on you, but he might tell you to surrender yourself to police. no murder is one of the Ten Commandments. this is how Catholic confession works, at least (I am not Catholic.)

I suspect the kid consented to the pastor calling the marshals, after deciding to turn himself in. otherwise how would they know where to find him that quickly?

[–] rozodru@piefed.social 2 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

I'm Catholic. When I was a kid I had to go to confessional and like most Catholic kids we just made shit up cause I mean come on, no kid is keeping tally of all the stuff they've done. So we'd just lie to the priest and try to one up each other with "stuff we did". The priest never told our parents or teachers.

And it was always "three Hail Marys and a Glory Be" and you're golden. What a weird ritual.

[–] homesweethomeMrL@lemmy.world 1 points 14 hours ago

From the pastor calling them in hushed tones from the back room?

I dunno. Agree its a terrible situation.

[–] yucandu@lemmy.world 6 points 17 hours ago (2 children)

An increasingly large number of people don't care if they get caught afterwards.

[–] notarobot@lemmy.zip 3 points 16 hours ago

That makes sense. I was just thinking about the plan ally these people have. Shooting someone like this is a bad idea. If your plan is shoot and run, they are going to have cameras. Do something remote where you can first run to another country and the "shoot", or play the plausible deniability card and do get caught.

"my drone malfunctioned while varying a very heavy camera and it just fell on him" is more believable than "well I was just standing there with my rifle, and when I saw what happened through my scope I jumped from a roof and ran because I was afraid of getting blamed for it"

[–] homesweethomeMrL@lemmy.world 3 points 16 hours ago

That’s a super-weird metric, but okay.

How does that even get counted?

[–] Ensign_Crab@lemmy.world 4 points 17 hours ago

Now we'll see if they pay the bounty.

[–] delgato@sh.itjust.works 3 points 17 hours ago (2 children)

$100,000 bounty I’d give up my piece-of-shit cousin

[–] ChexMax@lemmy.world 9 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

I'd give up my just cousin for free if he'd gone on Jan 6.

[–] P1nkman@lemmy.world 1 points 16 hours ago

If you don't want the $100.000, PM me.

  1. They'll probably never see the reward. The McDonalds employee who turned in Luigi hasn't seen a penny.

  2. This guy killed a fascist spreading hate and violence towards minorities. He was literally in the middle of it when he was killed. I'm not sure the "piece-of-shit" label fits.
