Our goal is to be the one stop shop for leftism here at lemmy.world! We welcome anyone with beliefs ranging from SocDemocracy to Anarchism to post, discuss, and interact with our community. We are a democratic community, and as such, welcome metaposts that seek to amend the rules through consensus. Post articles, videos, questions, analysis and more. As long as it's leftist, it's welcome here!

Wow that's even worse than the picture made it sound. The parents reached out to the police as part of a program to get help for their son. Then the police realized he was susceptible to being radicalized and targeted him as a result.

That's be like if you called an anti-smoking quit line and they were like "this guy's got an addictive personality, let's set up an elaborate scheme to get him hooked on crack so we can arrest him for possession."
