A community for discussing events around the World
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

There is so much stupid here:
He deserves jail time, as over used as this word is, that does strike fear.... Terror if you will. Nobody deserves that when they are in public.
“inject bystanders with empty syringes”
Injecting people with air can cause an embolism. The article may be wrong and this guy could’ve just been stabbing people with syringe however, if there was any kind of injection that was empty meaning air that can and will cause serious issues potentially death.
And getting an infection from the puncture wound.
The article just doesn’t care to tell you that the syringes were capped.
The Sun helpfully includes that important detail.
The influencer posted clips showing him creeping up on passersby and pretending to jab them with a capped syringe - just days before France’s massive Fête de la Musique street festival in June.
I went looking for the information because I was like “you can kill someone so easy that way, wtf?”
Tbf,the last time I have jabbed myself with a needle it had a fucking cap on. I simply fell over against a wall. To make things better it contained some nasty drug that in theory could have hurt me badly,but luckily didn't.
(Before anyone is concerned about my drug use - I work as a paramedic and the medication in the syringe is one I am highly allergic to....)
Still better than a contaminated one. Wouldn't recommend both, though.
An embolism really isn't a concern with a syringe unless you happen to hit an artery. You need a fuck ton of air to cause an embolism, like > 100cc, and most syringes are 1-3cc.
The biggest risk would be infection, as another commenter pointed out, but even then it's a small risk if it's a new needle tip.
But the argument is moot since a needle tip wasn't involved.
He didn't have a needle in the syringes
That's not actually true.
It's true, but you need a fuck ton of air to cause an embolism if you hit anything other than an artery. Like > 100cc of air.
Which a needle is not going to inject
Doing this in the US would be a good tutorial on how to get shot
To be fair, anything you do in the US may get you shot.
Yet, the don't. The only people who really get shot are school children.
Attempting to overthrow the elected government, threatening allies with war, spreading fear and hate, all while raping children may get you elected as president though.
In fairness, those things have gotten him shot at a couple of times.
Good point.
Not true. C'mon.
Disagreeing with established norms? That's a shottin.
Ding dong ditch, shot.
Lawn care? Shot.
Eating a sandwich in your car? Believe it or not, shot.
*bang*
A lot of influencer do similar shit in the US and no one got shot
So this fella was stabbing people with syringes? How did he not get the shit beaten out of him by an angry crowd? Did he always target smaller, vulnerable people who were alone?
What an absolute piece of shit.
They were capped syringes for the “pranks,” but your point still stands.
What’s worse is that at the time, there were actually a lot of syringe stabbings in France according to this Sun article (it’s the Sun, sorry about that). I was curious so I looked up more articles.
I’m speculating, but maybe people don’t want to beat someone up if they don’t actually get hurt, fearing worse punishment.
There wasn't a needle in the syringes.
The internet was a mistake
Influencers are cancer.
My company invited an influencer to come to campus to promote our company. I heard they had him jump around signage to get content for socials. So fucking cringe.
We've known this since September 1993, but we just let it keep going. I don't think anyone can actually stop it or knows how, unless we get hit with an asteroid or something.
Bioterrorism. Unless they were changing needles, they're risking a bad blood reaction or spreading a blood borne illness/disease. "Just a prank, bro" does not fix HIV.
No needle in the syringe, apparently.
Still a good way to get bodyslammed into a wall. I'm not waiting to see if there's a needle or not.
Humans were a mistake.
A&W’s Third Pound burger was a mistake
Why do you hate America?
They had the chance to fund Poochinski for 3 seasons and declined.
Monsters.
I didn't leave my country, my country left me
Arby’s. We have the meats.
