He would have grown up to be a terrorist though!

Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.
Rules:
-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --
-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --
-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --
-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --
-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--
-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--
-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --
-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --
I often find people are most ripe for radicalization in their mid-50s.
And you know they only admitted it because it was about to be exposed anyway
No no, it's clearly a PR move to show they care
surely this is the only time this has happened, glad we're still the good guys
Imagine living that life, damn. Growing up to become a shepherd in Syria, with all the associated struggles and moments of peace, then one day you're sitting out in a field and a drone from a country it would take your lifetime earnings to buy a ticket to obliterates you out of nowhere.
I bet they ran face ID on a grainy distant image
Beard? Check.
Brown? Check.
Taqiyah? Check.
We got him boys!
Doing anything to "make this right"? not that there is such a thing obviously. But if the idea was oh were so sorry it was a rare accident... Wouldn't you like idk offer a large sum to the victims family. Ya know the usual American way of making victims go away. But obviously nobody even pretends to care even that much.
Man who's job is getting protestors brutalised accidentally got hit by his friend and they were able to claw 23 million USD from tax money. You'd think a drone strike victim would deserve at least 1000 times that much. https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2024/apr/17/undercover-st-louis-police-23m
Drone victims family is given $23 billion dollars. The best thing the US ever did. Just a third the cost of that latest warfare and death bill to Taiwan, Ukraine, and Israel.
A year later quietly admitted in a way nobody will really notice and the next time you try to tell people that the US kills innocent people they'll just pretend this never happened or it's just a rare event rather than the norm.
