Pipe bombs and the decomposed body of a handcuffed male were also found, the latter likely involving foul play, police said.

Foul play, you say? 😲

It's only foul if the dead person is white and Christian. Funny the sad excuse for a news article didn't mention whether the decaying body qualified as a Master Race member or not. You'd think the wife would have known the details but the sad excuse for a news article doesn't say what happened to her. Maybe the cops killed her with their toys.

lol

"I think it's clear the deceased handcuffed themself and decided to just sit this one out. By staying very still, Mr Parkington had no knowledge of the deceased's presence and eventually they succumbed to aparhy."

Please consider finding sources for stories like this other than CBS news. They don’t deserve your clicks/eyeballs/whatever.

I've not heard this. What's wrong with CBS news?

Google Do an Internet search for who owns cbs/paramount now. Then google do an Internet search for Bari Weiss, current head of cbs news. They want to own CNN next as part of the current WBD sale.

Search. The verb you're trying to use is "search". Took me three times to figure out that you weren't saying Google owns Paramount/CBS.

Also, just save them the trouble and say it's Larry Ellison, problematic billionaire owner of Oracle.

Blocked. The word you’re looking for is blocked. As in I have blocked you for being a smartass.

Hey block me too - I think your comment was poorly-worded as well!

reddig33@lemmy.world · -9 pts · 244d

Ok. Also it’s more complicated than just Larry Ellison, which is why I said to do an Internet search/google it. Also if I said “search” the reader probably would have interpreted it as “do a search around here (Lemmy). But whatever, let’s concentrate on being pedantic rather than the message.

CBS News is about to go full MAGA. They're firing EVERYBODY. They intend to join the Conservative Propaganda Machine, and give Fox News a run for their money.

After they're done with the news division, they'll be going after programming. That will take a while longer to cancel "Woke" programming, and replace it with new MAGA productions, and get them to the screen.

Other than the extremely poor writing in the article?

I do my job well. I can expect some level of competence from others as well, without having the same profession.

Nazi paraphernalia was also found inside the home, including writing on a wall that says "Kapitulieren nein," which is German for "No surrender."

Do all Nazis think suicide is some kind of loophole/technicality? Like maybe it's not really "surrender" if you forfeit?

azimir@lemmy.ml · 12 pts · 243d

They're just rightfully following in the footsteps of their ex leader who only ever did one painting properly.

vaultdweller013@sh.itjust.works · 7 pts · 243d

It's because they are stupid and fear going out in a blaze of maddened glory. When I think no surrender it's going down with the intent of taking every last bastard possible, not bitching out and putting a bullet through one's own brain. Though I guess it's good they don't generally do that since they'd definitely shoot up a pre-school or something rather than going toe to toe against the cops.

mfed1122@discuss.tchncs.de · 7 pts · 244d (5 replies)

Maybe I'm wrong, but shouldn't this grammatically be "Kapitulieren nicht"?

He was just a regular nazi not a grammar nazi.

Not quite, "Kapituliere nicht" would be the correct imperative form, but sounds a bit weak. "Kapitulieren? Nein!" would work, but not without the question mark. No surrender would be "keine Kapitulation".

Diplomjodler3@lemmy.world · 4 pts · 243d

No. The closest I can come up with would be "Niemals kapitulieren".

A representative for the investment group that initiated the eviction said in a statement, "We are deeply saddened to learn of the events that have occurred, and we extend our sincere condolences to all those involved in this tragic incident."

'Sincere condolences my ass. Gfy.

Parkington fired dozens of AK-47 rounds at officers

The Nazi was using an AK-47? Tsk. tsk.

Times are hard, period-authentic gear is expensive. What machine gun would a self-respecting Nazi have used? "A representative for the investment group that initiated the eviction" - oh great, the building was owned by Private Equity - the Nazi should have launched V2 at it.

Kirp123@lemmy.world · 5 pts · 243d (3 replies)

An MP40 I guess but they're pretty expensive, the cheapest goes for 16 000 dollars (the fully automatic ones).

vaultdweller013@sh.itjust.works · 5 pts · 243d (1 reply)

Probably cheaper to build one from scratch at that point if you just want the gun and don't care about the history of the weapon.

Kirp123@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 243d

The old WW2 ones are fully automatic since they were grandfathered in when the laws banning fully automatic weapons were passed in the US. That's why they are so expensive, semiautomatic replicas are quite cheap.

has ... incredible capabilities

What kind of news story writing is this? Just what incredible capabilities does the machine have? Tell me! Name them. "Incredible abilities" wastes two whole words in this CBS news story and they tell me exactly nothing, they just take up space. This is more like the writing I'd expect from a high schooler, or from bad AI.

Nazis can rot in fucking hell, but so should landlords who want to kick 60 year old couples to the street who cant afford their apartment because of medical debt and illness.

The guy was shooting at officers coming to evict him.

The news clip said "...after many years of not paying his mortgage." {0:45}

I am inclined to agree with you, because there have been cases of elderly people with pending evictions and unopened social security checks on their counter. They were simply too senile to pay their bills. {People I (mostly) Admire, Podcast, ep 100, interview with Sherriff of Cook County}

This case is not that. He chose not to pay, he chose to shoot at people, and he chose to kill himself.

anarchiddy@lemmy.dbzer0.com · 4 pts · 243d (1 reply)

Not at all saying the guy didn't deserve to get clapped, but not for non-payment of his mortgage.

What an idiot. He should have just waited for his pardon from Trump.

As he fought eviction, Parkington wrote a letter saying he suffered from cancer and long COVID, and criticized lawyers and banks. Earlier in the week, Parkington's wife begged a judge to delay the eviction, writing about a decade of financial hardship and health issues. "Winter is coming and I am afraid I'm going to be left on the street," she wrote, in part.

Imagine being in these circumstances and arguing for any economic system other than socialism.

Chiming in to say I am tapping out & pretty good with enough stories so eternally wretched that the fact/fiction line is too blurry at the moment.

A representative for the investment group that initiated the eviction said in a statement, "We are deeply saddened to learn of the events that have occurred, and we extend our sincere condolences to all those involved in this tragic incident.”

“Ok, now that we said the required words, when can you get out of the house so we can rent it again?”
