Jordan Edwards was an innocent 15 year old child going about his business. Drugs and alcohol should not even be mentioned. Disgusting

From the Dallas News story in the first screenshot:

The murder case has yet to go to a Dallas County grand jury. Oliver has since been indicted on two aggravated assault charges in an apparent road rage confrontation two weeks before the shooting. In that case, a woman said Oliver pulled out his gun after she rear-ended him in a traffic accident while he was off duty.

More on that incident:

Oliver was not arrested…

He told Dallas officers that he had his gun at the “low ready” position and had identified himself as an officer because he thought the other driver may have been reaching for a weapon or trying to flee. Dallas police determined that no offense had occurred.

Arredondo filed a complaint against Oliver.

So, just a couple of weeks later, he shoots into a car full of children and kills one of them. Totally unforseeable, right? 😩

OMG everyone I know the ACTUAL story behind the gif this time!

Yes, it’s in Australia– that’s a big angry goanna that wandered into a popular restaurant. All the Australians in the vicinity went OH FUCK NO and cleared off, because goannas are mean.

The waitress you see there is a French exchange student, who was quoted as saying something to the effect of “I thought it was a weird ugly dog” and had no idea it was a reptile that wanted to rip her arms off. She’s been hailed as a hero who saved diners.

It’s amazing what power “not knowing” has.

The thing I especially love about this is this is a pretty dangerous animal, except she managed to defeat it by just fucking grabbing it by the tail and walking too quickly for it to turn around. Once again the animal kingdom is thwarted because we evolved opposable thumbs, long limbs, and reckless bravery.
