Don't forget the illegal fireworks explosion in Hawaii!
DecapodianSaysWoopWoopWoopWoop
So how's it going over there? Same old?
FrankTheThunderbird
Just a typical Wednesday here.
makesense
I still feel the shooting in New York was more a gang violence related issue, but the other two are now up to being committed by two Army veterans who may have worked at the same base. And the Cybertruck guy was a white Trump supporter.

Welcome to Day 1.

There can be no question that it’s got anything to do with the guns
friendsofsandwiches
Any other country: "The HORROR! The HUMANITY!"
America: It is WEDNESDAY, my dudes.

"AaaaaaaaAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA" - suddenly a really contextually appropriate reaction
KleptoKea
Kinda like school shootings.
normalizebeingalone
The only reason there hasn't been a school shooting in our country yet is probably because they are mostly still on winter break.
ionicseraph
Honestly, I wouldn't class the cybertruck incident with the other two. I see it as a positive. There's one less Tesla while flipping Musk and Trump the finger.
JOKERZwild86
We are only 3 days in!!!
Meetgeorgejetson4510
It’s gonna be wild! Drugs and booze and hookers and fire trucks!
Grimmrog
fire trucks? they are gone, no budget for them.
Meetgeorgejetson4510
I’m out then.

... Tbf, this is America. As a non-American, I'm not surprised. Why are you?
landcfan
Oh, we're not surprised, just commenting on the sad state of affairs. Maybe slight surprise at the tiny uptick in frequency, but we're not shocked, just disappointed.
badgesweedontneednostinkingbadges
I was expecting it. Didn't know the "where" and "how", obviously, or the number of attacks, but people wanted to have fun and that's when the assholes strike.
landcfan
Fair. When I was watching before the ball dropped I was thinking, "I wonder what kind of security they have? Mass shooters would love that set up." Just America things.
mangoshapedspace
hold up hold up... there was a mass shooting in NY? or is this in reference to Luigi?
SuspiciousCactus
As an American, we see the notification/headline, check to see if it's our kids' school/town etc. And then be relieved it's not and keep going.
p7hk9
Why are people shocked that a Tesla blew up?
awesomecat42
Because instead of it being due to a bad crash or electrical short or other such unintentional cause, it was an intentional detonation of various incendiary materials in the trunk.
p7hk9
I just saw that on the news. :(
whizzer
3rd world countries do be like that.

Hey! I live a third world country and ours NYE was quite peaceful aside from the occasional mugging
whizzer
Uhmmm....uhh....you're....upper class third world!! Ya that'll do
darthnerdus6236
The incoming president will be aligned with the Soviet Bloc and might actually make the US a 2nd world country.
nemesisx00
Trump is not going to improve things, why would you think that?
darthnerdus6236
It's about alignment. He is a Russian sell out.
whizzer
That map seems accurate with Ireland being a 3rd world country too.
INeedMoreGifMeMoreJustOneMore
At least there wasn't a school shooting!
CreepyPhlox
Schools are still out for holiday break. Give it a few more days…
KirbyUOR
I mean, it's entirely possible there was, but there was too much breaking news, and school shootings are a daily occurrence, and also, we don't care about murdered children in America anymore.
INeedMoreGifMeMoreJustOneMore
Pssst, there's no school on New Year's day, that's why there can't be a school shooting!
KirbyUOR
Ah, I will admit i didn't consider that.
SpaceHaggis
American media*
cryborg
I have vaguely thought about starting a "news" media something.. Something like "The Dumbest Shit that Happened Today".
SpaceHaggis
Id love a wholesome and happy news.
4Astaroth
That'd be awesome. I wonder if there's a YouTube or Twitch channel for this.
TinkerThinker42
http://wtfjht.com or WTF Just Happened Today has existed for almost 8 years now.
I think it's a good summary of the day that is fairly well sourced.

This is the Land of Confusion.

Freaky Genesis puppet Land of Confusion or Disturbed comic book nazi Land of Confusion?

NM...I think I answered my own question

While I recognize your right to your opinion...there is only 2 versions I recognize; Disturbed and Genesis...Disturbed being superior. LOL
Redshadow09
the new york one is new to me. What happened?
EveryBodyLovesMe
Just thinking to myself “oop! Missed a story!” I don’t think I have the energy left to look it up.
Mirrormancer
According to my own Googling, looks like there were a couple different (maybe unrelated) shootings, each by multiple shooters. One incident happened outside a convenience store and the other happened at a nightclub.

Sooo...'terrorist' activities?

sirbartonslady
And they're apparently investigating the Cybertruck thing as a "terrorist attack" lmao because Cybertrucks TOTALLY aren't bombs on wheels on their own or anything.
EveryBodyLovesMe
I’m betting on he put it in park, shot himself in a suicide, and the bullet hit something in the bed which set the rest of it off. The fireworks were just a happy little accident. Bc a green beret doesn’t throw fireworks and small premixer cans together hoping for a big boom.
IHaveGreatKittenRecipes
Nah it was a rental with some fireworks and apparently some kind of small tank that may have contained accelerant. If it wasn't a terrorist, it was peak fukin stupid.
GlenL
The driver was US special forces, I don't see that being the kind of person who that badly accidentally mishandles explosives
sirbartonslady
You just described a bunch of cyber truck owners, soooo...
Syovere
if it was a terrorist, it was still peak fuckin stupid. there's gotta be a better way to do whatever tf they were trying to
RedCamaro
Not different than any other day
CloakedFigure
Surprised no kids got shot tbh
HandoB4Javert
..no c eo involved...
samwyze
Pretty tame, all things considered.
SheepySleepySmuggler
The Cybertruck appears to have exploded because of an intentional act BUT it wasn't to promote a social media influencer.
TitillatingPterodactyl
This has to be a brand new, never uttered before sentence.
SheepySleepySmuggler
I'm sure it exists on a discarded incident report in the Tesla quality control office. Buried under all the discarded incident reports where actual design and manufacturing issues were the cause.
Unclescam
"Don't store flammable or semi flammable objects in trunk as body is known to hold a charge.
Targe0
(Elon on stage) And this is where we have designed a place to put anything flammable or semi flammable. /s
PerthAussieMike
No doubt some GOP hack will blame Biden for dumping all this in the orange turds lap. Did I read correctly the American Citizen (NOT illegal immigrant the orange turd stated) was, in fact, an Army Veteran? I may be wrong. Too much info comes out too quickly sometimes before proper verification. Very sad cases :(
GlenL
The NOLA attacker and the Cybertruck bomber were both veterans
Akistos
They already have
RhinoNaut
Is it just me or is 'illegal alien' code for a brown person that the right doesn't think should be in america under any circumstance?
oldscrotumthewrinkledretainer
Do try to keep up chaps
FPAlpha
Pretty much it.
In their eyes unless you're WASP you're suspicious at best
sirbartonslady
congrats, you've been paying attention to what has the Right so fuckin pissed off all this time. It's not the "they're stealing our jerbs" it's "they're brown and they're allowed to exist in my presence, remove them please!"
Mithi
IamIntoleranceIntolerant
Trump has already blamed Biden for letting the New Orleans attacker over the border.
GlenL
Don't worry, once he gets the facts right he'll pivot to saying that's why we need to get rid of birthright citizenship
PerthAussieMike
And of course, the orange turd won't acknowledge that he was wrong and the guy was an American Citizen and Army vet. His cult members will only believe what he said first anyway.
IamIntoleranceIntolerant
Of course he won't. And no one will challenge him about it, either.
PerthAussieMike
THAT'S the part I am always disappointed about with USA media. No one seems to really follow up his gross lies directly with him. They are scared/afraid of him that he will get them fired. I do think I recall way back when he was POTUS and a reporter did challenge him and his reply was to the effect 'You are really a horrible person' and left it at that.
hoopsnek
Things are going to get C R A Z Y the closer we get to the Trump inauguration

Trumpster threatening to remigrate people may lead to migrated people act out of fear? Especially when in their homelands they have to fear torture and war?
Dracon27
Cybertruck one was definitely a message to Trump and Musk
HumanCapybara
How do you figure? Because it was parked outside a Trump property before it spontaneously combusted, as Teslas are known to do at the best of times? Law of averages says it was bound to happen eventually, whether through malice aforethought or just Tesla’s shitty manufacturing.
GlennBecksChalkboard
We'll have to wait and see. I'd put it at 80% chance it was intended, 20% just insane coincidence.
16bitStarbuck
"Spontaneously combusted" I've read some dumb, upvoted shit here lately, but this whole comment takes the cake.
wiltsjunk
On the news this morning they were saying it was filled with gasoline and stuff, and it was set to explode. It didn't spontaneously combust. That's what they were saying on CBS at least.
mebe21
Have you seen the footage of it exploding? It's possible it was faulty equipment, but seeing how suddenly and forcefully it blew got me on the side of "oh this was intentional" too.
ChaseRedMoon
I don't want to agree with because I do want it to be a message.... But when you right, you right
16bitStarbuck
They're wrong.
Dracon27
They're wrong. Watch the footage.
Dracon27
It was rented specifically, and was loaded with fireworks, gas and camping fuel. It was a bomb.
2graves
A very strange case. Will be interesting to see the details.
