Welcome

We're not The Onion! Not affiliated with them in any way! Not operated by them in any way! All the news here is real!

The Rules

Posts must be:

  1. Links to news stories from...
  2. ...credible sources, with...
  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.”

Comments must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.

And that’s basically it!

At least it wasn't in the US. Calling the police on someone for anything has a non zero chance of just getting them straight up murdered. So i was happy to see it was in NZ lol

I'm surprised the police even bothered to turn up. In the UK it's hard to get the police to turn up to actual crimes.

Lol, American cops crave violence too much and UK cops don't want to be anywhere near it. Neither are doing their damn jobs.

Considering how things are in the US, calling the police on someone pretty well warrants attempted murder in return.
