Not The Onion

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!

They might be, not the best and brightest, but could be their best and brightest.

The dumber ones would have delivered the harassment via no-knock warrant.

The best and brightest of Long Island and New Jersey.

How was he to know there would be consequences for once?

Officer Brendan Sullivan? Surely not that Brendan Sullivan?

If so, this was a perfect phone prank, 5/7.
