The deep dive into who Democracy Manifest is/was is absolutely WILD. He escaped custody after the arrest, and that's probably the most normal thing about him.

I'd uh... I'd read up on him before calling him that

In 2023 the true crime author Mark Dapin published a biography of Karlson titled Carnage: A Succulent Chinese Meal, Mr. Rent-a-Kill and the Australian Manson Murders that also explores his connections to other criminals.[7][27] The book also revealed that Karlson was an admirer of Adolf Hitler and Nazism, and that on at least one occasion he threw a party at his home to celebrate Hitler's birthday.[

So, he‘s currently in the US government? Seems like a perfect fit.

[-] kboy101222@sh.itjust.works 32 points 19 hours ago

He died last year, so he's probably a senator now

I hate that this is as plausible as it is a joke.

"To stop the crime, you must put a hand on his penis"

I see you know your judo well.

[-] HowAbt2day@futurology.today 2 points 22 hours ago

Who is Judo? And why are you touching his penis?

[-] Johanno@feddit.org 27 points 22 hours ago

Get your hands of my penis!

I don’t get the joke, can someone explain it?

The fourth frame depicts a man getting arrested for using a stolen credit card at a Chinese restaurant. It takes several officers to arrest him and he is humorously vocal about what the police are doing. The incident is known as Democracy Manifest.

And it turns out they had the wrong guy and he didn’t steal any credit cards.

Well, and the other joke is that it's a department that tries to predict crimes before they happen. If they're "successful" and the arrest happens beforehand, then the crime never happens and they're locking up an innocent person.

The "Department of Precrime" idea comes from the Philip K. Dick story The Minority Report, more widely known from its 2002 film adaptation starring Tom Cruise.

My abs actually hurt from laughing so much at this, I use that reference a fair bit and bravo for its usage here 🫡

[-] DickFiasco@sh.itjust.works 9 points 1 day ago

Ta-ta, and farewell.
