No need for violence, he's already threatened it (and it's no idle threat, obviously).  He's going away for a long time, unless he commits suicide by cop.  If it was just him, I'd say good riddance, but he's got all those followers duped into thinking this is an actual plan.

Utterly shocking.

We are all blown away by this shocking revelation.

Jesus, I mean really? Frankly it's about time someone stopped a business from doing some of the many illegal things they do. Next, I'd like to see a few moron managers get sewed for telling people they can't talk about their wages together (collective bargaining conference), except the NLRB has no damn teeth to really bite into these jerks. (Basically, your manager/company is breaking the law when he tells you you can't discuss wages with other employees, but a.) good luck paying for suing him, and b.) even when/if you win, it's a slap on the wrist comparatively).

Either way it's nice to see the little guy win once in a freaking while.

I can see measuring how much people are at the bathroom to catch those who are abusing it (I've met a few of those 15+ minute "bathroom break" people before), but not paying them for bathroom breaks is just absurd. It's definitely a nice thing to see the little people winning.

It's also dumb, dumb shit done by middle managers and hereditary executives who have no idea how to make money anyway. Scientific Management (which is a misnomer if I've ever heard one) has been demonstrably shown to lower productivity. Indeed, a large portion of the assholes of the world aren't even taking the real seductive path of greed, they really are just assholes who enjoy their power trip more than the money. They might associate it with the money, but that's not what's really going on.

This is all upper management I've ever experienced.  Actively doing everything they can to de-motivate and sour their employees.

Politics are spilling into my game-specific subreddits again. Halp.

Apparently there was some kind of mass sexual assault incident where 1,000 men assaulted random women during the New Years celebration in Cologne; most of the perpetrators were described as "North African and Arab in appearance".

And media is attempting to cover it up, along with every popular news sub on reddit or something.

[Frumple]

Heard about that, heh. What you're hearing, if that's the summation, is roughly 90+% complete bullshit. What happened was a smaller group (forget details there, but iirc the likely numbers are less than a couple dozen at the high end) was using the larger party as more or less a smoke screen. More or less the same sort of thing you see when your average rapes and whatnot occur during frat parties or some shit.

1k is the number of total partiers -- the actual perpetrators were considerably smaller in number. Conflation of the two has been occurring due to idiots who lack the reading comprehension of a two year old.

[Graknorke]

That is distinctly not how it happened. There were a thousand people out on the streets some of whom were aforementioned sexually assaulting north africans.

What cover up? I've seen a bunch of articles, and my public radio had a short segment on it just 20 minutes ago.

lol wut, m8? Take a look at r/europe – there's nothing there that isn't about the CRAZY DRUNK RADICAL ISLAMIST RAPE PARTY WITH KÖLSCH AND PORK SCHNITZEL.

Once again, internet wingnuts are crying CENSER SHIP where none exists.

Showcasing why my county is disfunctional, our right-wing secretary of state for migration announced he wanted all immigrants to get classes on respecting women (never mind that we don't even know if the Cologne Gropers were immigrants yet...).

Of course, he quietly forgot that this is a function of the Communities, not the federal government. So nothing will get done...

By the way, in response to Frumple's earlier comment that the number of 1000 referred to the revelers in the area in total, and the number of attackers was likely a couple of dozen at most.

Found an eyewitness account, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W9TOdMzOH1U

They were apparently so many perpetrators that the police didn't have enough transports to get them to prison. Then they ran out of space in prison and all the nearby prisons and had to let some walk free.

That's some seriously scary stuff.
