I hope he only stopped firing cos he ran out of bullets and I assume that's the charge they tried to send him down for; continued shooting after there was no longer a threat.

Edit: Also, lmao at them throwing bills at him like he's a stripper and him picking them up like a stripper.

Looks to me like he fired the first four to put him down, four more to make sure he's down after he hit the deck, and the last one to make sure he was never, ever getting up to shoot back.
I approve, by the way. No reason to take risks with worthless scum.

One thing to know about these hoods is that if they have a gun, they're not trying to NOT use it. They're usually looking for a reason. So if you get them down, don't take risks of them shooting you despite being wounded and dying.

The last shot was after he picked up the gun so basically an execution if he wasn't already dead. I can see why they had a case against him but I'm sure they would have tried to put him away even if they didn't. They want the public to suffer for defending themselves with guns and they want everyone to know it.
This guy got lucky with the jury imo. Most people won't put their life in the hands of a jury and would take a plea deal, even if innocent.

The wokesters would be clapping and defending the criminal if he had shot and killed any innocent victim in that restaurant.

If you barge into a public space, weapon drawn, with the intent to rob other law abiding citizens of their money and their luxury items, then that means you are ready to kill.

And whoever is ready to kill, has to also be ready to die.

That's the problem. They will keep saying that until someone elses "good boy" robs them at gunpoint.

Then its going to be "where is the police? I don't feel safe in this neighborhood!"

https://www.thepopverse.com/will-eisner ... for awards.

Update: The most popular comics awards, the Eisners, drops Journalism (but not Memoir) as category for 2024
The Eisner Awards are now open for submissions, but there may be a couple of surprises for those waiting to submit
Submissions for the 2024 Will Eisner Comic Industry Awards are now officially open, but there is a surprise on the list. The slot for 'Comics-Related Periodical/Journalism' is not included among this year's categories for awards.
The Mask's Note: the awards are still a horrible leftist nightmare, but deleting the "journalism" category is a small win, and just wanted to make everyone aware of this tiny little win.

Vice News’ Top Editor Tells Staff He Doesn’t Know if Flagship Website Will Shutter
After multiple staffers voiced concerns, CEO Bruce Dixon told staff the company is transitioning to a studio model, "we will no longer publish content on vice.com."

Hours after multiple staffers expressed concern that Vice Media was considering shuttering or gutting its flagship news website following the brand’s sale to a consortium of its former bankruptcy lenders, the CEO of the company weighed in with a memo (below) detailing sweeping change.

Vice Media chief Bruce Dixon confirmed that “several hundred” staffers would be laid off and “we will no longer publish content on vice.com” as the company transitions to a “studio model” to sell its content to other outlets.

Earlier in the day, editors from different parts of Vice met with their staffs and informed them that they have asked management for clarity on the situation but haven’t received a reply. Vice News’ top editor Josh Visser addressed staffers on a midday Zoom and said he had given senior executives of the company, including CEO Dixon, an opportunity to deny rumors the site was shuttering, but he had not heard back, which he described as “very upsetting.”

Earlier in the day, editors from different parts of Vice met with their staffs and informed them that they have asked management for clarity on the situation but haven’t received a reply. Vice News’ top editor Josh Visser addressed staffers on a midday Zoom and said he had given senior executives of the company, including CEO Dixon, an opportunity to deny rumors the site was shuttering, but he had not heard back, which he described as “very upsetting.”

“Our website and our work being pulled down would be completely reprehensible,” he told staffers. “I cannot even understand any business reasons why you would do something like that.”

Visser told staff a plan he had proposed to restructure the newsroom had essentially been rejected by management and that, even though it is almost March, he still does not have a budget for the year. Staff asked Visser about whether their next paycheck would clear and if their Vice laptops may become disabled by the company. “I don’t know more than you guys besides being able to read faces and notice who is not replying to my messages,” Visser said.

The scramble among staffers appears to have been sparked by a tech update by the company. “As part of a companywide security and data compliance update, Vice last week disabled a tool called Google Takeout which previously allowed employees to download their Google data in bulk,” a person familiar with the company says. “This system change is in no way tied to other business decisions at the company.”

Vice Media filed for bankruptcy in May of last year, canceled its flagship show Vice News Tonight weeks before, and pledged cost cuts and layoffs during restructuring. Last July, Vice inked a deal to sell itself to a group led by Fortress Investment LLC, Soros Fund Management and Monroe Capital, ending a lengthy sales process.

“It looks pretty apocalyptic out there,” Visser told staff. A spokesperson for Vice and Fortress did not respond to multiple requests for comment from THR.

Bruce Dixon’s full memo is below:

Dear Vice Team,

As we navigate the ever-evolving business landscape, we need to adapt and best align our strategies to be more competitive in the long term. After careful consideration and discussion with the board, we have decided to make some fundamental changes to our strategic vision at Vice.

We create and produce outstanding original content true to the Vice brand. However, it is no longer cost-effective for us to distribute our digital content the way we have done previously. Moving forward, we will look to partner with established media companies to distribute our digital content, including news, on their global platforms, as we fully transition to a studio model. As part of this shift, we will no longer publish content on vice.com, instead putting more emphasis on our social channels as we accelerate our discussions with partners to take our content to where it will be viewed most broadly.

Separately, Refinery 29 will continue to operate as a standalone diversified digital publishing business, creating engaging, social first content. As you know, we are in advanced discussions to sell this business, and we are continuing with that process. We expect to announce more on that in the coming weeks.

With this strategic shift comes the need to realign our resources and streamline our overall operations at Vice. Regrettably, this means that we will be reducing our workforce, eliminating several hundred positions. This decision was not made lightly, and I understand the significant impact it will have on those affected. Employees who will be affected will notified about next steps early next week, consistent with local laws and practices.

I know that saying goodbye to our valued colleagues is difficult and feels overwhelming, but this is the best path forward for Vice as we position the company for long-term creative and financial success. Our financial partners are supportive and have agreed to invest in this operating model going forward. We will emerge stronger and more resilient as we embark on this new phase of our journey.

Thank you for your continued dedication to Vice and support during this time of transition. Together, I am confident that we will overcome any challenges and achieve our shared goals.

Bruce

I'm glad Brits have gotten themselves some proper representation with their *checks notes* Muslim MP.

We both know that he'll fail to make progress against the rest of parliament when it comes to Israel. Don't worry though, he'll still find a way to help the "native" British Muslims somehow -- probably at the expense of actual Brits.

I'm sure he's not joking about helping the people in Gaza though. His signature will be first on the bill to import a million refugees from there.

I thought this was "positive" political news . . .

Why are people still taking this democracy thing seriously?
