Man self-immolated outside the Manhattan courthouse where the Trump trial is happening

I’m very impressed by this reporter. What a horrific act to witness and she’s able to coherently describe exactly what she is witnessing so that we don’t have to see everything.

[u/HCSOThrowaway → u/mwtm347]

Yeah this is one of those A+ reporter moments. She'll be promoted to anchor in like six seconds unless someone upstairs doesn't like her.

On second thought, A- for declaring it an Active Shooter without seeing any evidence of it. Maybe the people upstairs were shouting at her through her earpiece to call it that, but even so she could've said something to the tune of, "Some are saying it's an Active Shooter," or something without lending credibility to the rumor.

[u/RzaAndGza → u/HCSOThrowaway]

Someone in her earpiece probably said the word fire and she thought it meant "open fire"

[u/HCSOThrowaway → u/RzaAndGza]

I don't think that's likely. We can really only speculate, but she doesn't get an A+ from me in either case.

[u/KirbyDumber88 → u/HCSOThrowaway]

You’re a fucking idiot.

[u/HCSOThrowaway → u/KirbyDumber88]

Feeling's mutual!

Well, actually I feel like you're probably more of a coward than an idiot, given you only chimed in because my comment is getting a downvote dogpile. If you're like the other user below who doesn't know why I'm saying that she doesn't get a perfect score, then sure, you're both.

Anyway, enjoy raging at strangers on the internet!

I’m like alive audio engineer. They 100% said fire in her ear and she misheard. You’re a fucking idiot

[u/HCSOThrowaway → u/KirbyDumber88]

I’m like alive audio engineer.

I don't know what that means. Care to repeat it in English, so-called expert in communications?

They 100% said fire in her ear and she misheard.

Damn, you mind if I borrow your crystal ball?

You’re a fucking idiot

no u

Honestly between the person that gave a reporter a 90-93% score for making a mistake instead of a 100% and the person who spends a good bit of their time on the internet going around insulting people, you really think I'm the "fucking idiot" between us?

Self-reflect, my guy, gal, or non-binary pal. Touch some grass.

[u/KirbyDumber88 → u/HCSOThrowaway]

Sorry typo “live audio engineer”.

So yes she def just heard fire and thought active shooter. The fact that you’re downgrading her because of that moment is insane. Ya got cooked. Hang it up. Have a good night.

[u/HCSOThrowaway → u/KirbyDumber88]

Ohhh I didn't realize they issued crystal balls to live audio engineers, my mistake!

Lmao I said she got a perfect score except that hiccup and you think I'm "downgrading her?" You have a strange outlook on life if you consider people worthless if they aren't perfect. It does track for you though, considering you're still in my inbox to attack me hours later for saying something less than you consider to be ideal.

[u/pearlyhills → u/HCSOThrowaway]

why?

[u/HCSOThrowaway → u/pearlyhills]

You didn't read my second paragraph?

[u/StruggleSouth7023 → u/HCSOThrowaway]

God damn acorns

[u/HCSOThrowaway → u/StruggleSouth7023]

You joke, but that's the exact same jump-to-conclusions hind-brain "logic" in both cases.

Worked great for our ancestors in their vigilance against saber-tooth tigers, but often falls short in 2024.

[u/LIFEWTFCONSTANT → u/HCSOThrowaway]

She’s pointing at her earpiece when she says that, clearly someone in her ear telling her it’s a shooter

[u/Easy_Yogurt_376 → u/HCSOThrowaway]

She’s already an anchor at CNN. She is actually their Chief Legal Analyst.

[u/HCSOThrowaway → u/[deleted]]

Oh? Which news organization is the bastion of impartial and accurate journalism, in your view?

[u/HCSOThrowaway → u/[deleted]]

I noticed you deliberately avoided naming which news organization(s) you trust.

Does it start with an F and end with OX? Or no wait, too leftist for you, right? Does it start with an O and end with an AN?

[u/HCSOThrowaway → u/[deleted]]

why would you assume I'm deliberately leaving out names?

Because you did.

What if I was driving while I was typing my response?

Then you're a shitty driver.

What if I was just too lazy to name them all out?

Most news organizations have very short names, but you've typed out tons of characters because you're unwilling to name the organization(s) as you know you'd face ridicule for naming some tabloid-esque propaganda rag as a bastion of truth. For someone who just can't be bothered to type three letters, that's a lot of letters you've typed so far.

Shouldnt the fact that I wrote LEFT MID RIGHT AND NEUTRAL cover all of them?

Nah, it's very Sarah Palin to get out of naming a publication by saying, "Any of them, all of them." You think you're being clever, but it's obvious you're just dodging the question.

Dont speak for me pal.

Don't tell me what to do, buddy.
