return2ozmaIsraeli military says Iran has fired missiles at Israel
Flying SquidThe BBC has some video. Looks like some missiles are being intercepted, some hitting.
BBC: “celebratory gunfire” in Beiruit.
What a fucked up part of the world.
Edit: the celebratory part isn’t fucked up. The doing it by shooting guns in the air is.
SundialI mean I get where you’re coming from but you can’t honestly expect the people of Lebanon to be sympathetic to the Israeli’s given the events of the past 2 weeks.
It’s not the celebration. It’s the celebratory gunfire.
By all means, celebrate. Maybe don’t do it in a way that can hurt other people.
Parts of the US are no better.
A Texas official gets probation for accidentally shooting his grandson at a wedding
A Texas county commissioner will spend one year on probation for accidentally shooting his grandson during a Nebraska wedding he was officiating. Michael Gardner, 63, of Odessa, Texas, was sentenced Monday for misdemeanor child abuse in the 2023 shooting. His grandson, then 12, survived the shoulder wound. The shooting happened when Gardner pulled out a revolver, intending to fire a blank round into the air to signal the start of the outdoor ceremony near the small town of Denton in southeastern Nebraska. But as he was cocking the gun’s hammer, it fired, hitting the boy.
If you want me to claim that the U.S. is not also a fucked-up part of the world, you have come to the wrong person.
