I'm gonna miss this when we move to the new instance where this emote is fixed
About an hour later and just blocks away, police responded to a shooting incident as people were still leaving from the downtown area after the end of the parade and formal celebrations. Thomas said investigators believe the shooting is "completely unassociated" with the parade or previous incident.
Why the fuck even mention something completely unrelated? "A cop gets run over by a firetruck. Three hours later and 5 miles away, someone who didn't even know there was a parade took a huge runny shit."
This might be the first time I ever cared about something that happened in basketball so that's cool. Good on the basketball community for being so inclusive!
I like how they've got the photo of the injured cop as if he died or something.
Today I learned that America has a sports team called the Chicken Nuggets? Wut? Lmao.
Can't wait till they play against the McDonalds Burgers
denver nuggets as in gold nuggets because the west was supposedly settled by plucky frontiersmen panning for gold (in reality it was settled by white supremacists backed up by military violence against native communities that they were stealing land from). so calling the team the denver thieves would be more accurate.
They and the locals would love being called the "Denver Bandits".
