Decided to start an "off-topic" post here for any WTF type news stories you see.

This guy from the town I live in was just randomly driving down the main interstate here in AR and around 5am and someone just drove up beside him and shot and killed him. WTF?!

Dated Febuary 11th ? Shouldnt we be posting current news.

[Lucas]

Yeah, it was a "featured story" for some reason on the local site. It's still not been solved is the bigger WTF part. Someone just murdered someone on the interstate a few weeks ago and got away with it.

[DarkDragon]

Has to be gang related.

[Lucas]

There's not really "gang activity" here in this town we are in. At least not very much that is known about; I guess it could be related to something down in Little Rock perhaps since that's not far away and is more rampant in that type stuff.

This was probably a good idea for a thread. I dont have any news to post now but Im sure I'll see something in the next few days.

[Lucas]

Yeah, kinda had the /r/WTF subreddit in mind when I posted it. I think it'll have its own place here to be useful. Thanks, dude.

This thread just turned into the DD and Brad thread.

Would have to search for the actual news story, but the DJs on my local rock station were talking about a lady who was refused a coupon for a dollar off at Walmart, so she rammed her cart into the manager, went to her car and returned with a gun....

She was arrested for aggravated assault

Holy crap. People are retarded sometimes.

Dude, I'm one of your biggest fans around here, but this shit is starting to become annoying.

 

A couple weeks old for an idea for a new thread = fine...

Its not fine because in case youve been living under a rock, the 24 hour news cycle is the era we live in today.
