Headline:

Arson is suspected...

Article:

Authorities say an unknown male suspect sprayed what they described as a possible accelerant on the office door, set it on fire and fled. They said the suspect remained at large and no motive had been established.

“A significant fire engulfed the door and part of the vestibule, impeding the egress of staff members who were working in the office and endangering their lives,” Burlington police said in a statement. “The sprinkler system then engaged and largely extinguished the fire.”

That's absolutely arson, and almost assuredly a couple counts of attempted murder....

I wonder if somebody shot the guy?

Are you on an instance/app where images are default collapsed? Like a twitter clone or something rather than Lemmy?

Or is a giant image intentional?

I was just blocking everyone who does it often because it's jarring. But so many of you keep doing it so I wanted to ask if there's a reason or just why?

[–] BlemboTheThird@lemmy.ca 0 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Nope, it's just that way by default. Drives me nuts too.

FYI, when viewed from the voyager app the image is small unless I click on it. So depending on the app people use their experiences are different.

[–] Infynis@midwest.social 0 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Connect doesn't even display the image

[–] manucode@feddit.de 0 points 7 months ago

On Eternity, it's displayed in a size I find rather okay.

motive is unclear

[–] RedAggroBest@lemmy.world 0 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Yes lol. Do they hate that he's Jewish? Or that he's anti-Zionist? Or maybe they hate socialism? There's a lot for shitty people to hate about Sanders

Bernie is not anti-Zionist. He's repeatedly emphasized Israel has a right to defend it's settler colonial apartheid self. He's a Zionist.

During a presidential debate in the same year in Atlanta, Sanders embarked on another contradiction: “It is no longer good enough for us to be pro-Israel, I am pro-Israel, but we must treat the Palestinians with the dignity they deserve.” Being pro-Israel is being pro-colonialism, for the simple reason that Israel is a colonial enterprise that thrives upon the dispossession of the Palestinian people.

Is it possible for someone to not be actively anti-something, or the lack if being so will qualify them as pro-something?

Israel is a lot like the Nazis. If you are not against the Nazis you are in favor of the Nazis. Bernie defending israel at the start of their Genocide for multiple months is surely not a great look. Even now Bernie has not called it a Genocide.

Senator Bernie Sanders’s refusal to call for a permanent cease-fire between Israel and Hamas has put him at odds with many of the same progressives who powered his presidential campaigns.

While Mr. Sanders was one of the first members of Congress to call for a humanitarian pause in the war amid a catastrophic civilian death toll in Gaza caused by Israel’s military offensive, he has rejected calls for a permanent cease-fire. Mr. Sanders, an independent, caucuses with Democrats.

He also reiterated his call for conditions on military aid to Israel and emphasized that Hamas was not a trustworthy negotiating partner in considering a permanent cease-fire.

“Biggest political disappointment of our generation,” Briahna Joy Gray, the national press secretary for Mr. Sanders’s 2020 presidential campaign, wrote about him on X.

Bernie is certainly not a prime target for someone that opposes israel but he is a Zionist.
