“Due to COVID restrictions at the Parish Prison, 5 inmates charged with lesser crimes, such as murder, rape and speaking to the media about the bias rules within the BRPD”

These seem to be pretty serious charges. What crimes are these less than?

Edit: satire. Got it. FFS, it’s difficult discerning what’s real and fake in 2021. Joe Biden is our President, and trans rights appear to be the only thing we need to be focused on, all the while, millions of illegals pour across our borders, with covid running rampant. Missed this one. My apologies.

ffs, people they don't make satire any more obvious.

To be fair, the lines of "obvious satire" and reality (with respect to the media) are blurring more and more every day.

I know that's the go-to line when failing to identify satire, but to be in any way effective, satire always straddles the lines of believability. That's the point. If anything this article fails for being far too obvious and there's really no excuse for being fooled by it other than just not reading beyond the headline.

That's what I'm trying to say. The "lines of believability" are becoming less and less obvious. What used to be OBVIOUS satire is maybe not as obvious any longer with the clown world we are currently living in.

Maybe you can get them canceled.

Satire is all that comedy has left. PC culture ruined everything else.

Marijuana crimes affect way more people, so they're more severe.

It’s still a solid working class neighborhood. Homes are mostly well maintained. It should see more interest when Amazon finishes redeveloping Cortana.

Also...the article might possibly be satire. Just sayin.

why is this always your go-to when anyone dare comment that one of your hundreds of satire articles isn't that funny?

most of the satire you post is just so on the nose

satire needs to be more subtle
