A member of Ukraine's National Guard went postal at an aerospace factory in Dnipr earlier today, killing five people and wounding five others. Police managed to track him down eventually to make an arrest.
Warning: Graphic violence.
They captured him.
Ukraine is kind of a shitshow right now.
The shooter has been identified as Artemiy Ryabchuk, a Ukrainian conscript born in 2001.

Why even have a government if you’re going to pay some sociopath with your tax dollars to tell you to go fuck yourself? Get these useless republicans out of office.
A few years ago a psycho harassed and threatened my family so I reported him to the cops and they told him to knock it off.
Don’t mess with someone’s family.
Also, FYI? Calling the cops on someone isn’t the same as SWATing. Really fucked up what they did to Tim Pool tonight.
Stop saying “Tim Pool staged it.” Do you have proof that he staged it? Why would he do that?
It wasn’t just simple threats. This guy, who had a following on YouTube, posted my parents’ address on livestreams and tried to get people to hack into my bank account and emails. I’d already been previously stalked IRL by Benjamin Barber (look it up) so I wasn’t taking chances.
Curfews have the opposite effect of limiting the spread of an infectious disease. Instead they force people to crowd grocery stores and transit stations in the few hours of the day when they're not at work.
It's as if none of the people in charge knows a damn thing about traffic flow modeling.
Curfews and lockdowns create bottlenecks. Bottlenecks produce congestion and crowding. Crowding enhances the spread of infectious airborne diseases, effectively creating a super-spreader event in every crowd.
Don't Look Up would've been a better movie if it wasn't shitting on working class people the whole time.
I think the real (good) takeaway from the movie is that scientists don't know how to communicate with the public and their message often gets lost in translation.
I also liked how the movie isn't afraid to swing at the corporate left. Taken as a metaphor for the climate crisis, corporations are just monetizing the whole situation with "green" marketing.
