Today, we remember a legend.
On this day in history, Harambe would have celebrated another birthday. An icon that became part of internet history, American culture, and an entire generationโs timeline.
Tomorrow marks 10 years since we lost him. Ten years since the moment the world stopped scrolling and collectively mourned something bigger than a meme.
He became a symbol of loyalty, strength, chaos, unity, and the strange beauty of the internet bringing millions of people together for one cause: never forgetting Harambe.
Everyone remembers where they were when they heard the news. And somehow, a decade later, his legacy still lives on.
Gone, but never forgotten.
Rest easy to a true patriot. ๐๏ธ๐บ๐ธ

Forever in our hearts.
@sentdefender Bro is on the take. Never have I ever seen someone so stupid say someone was unarmed yet in the same sentence say they had a gun. Go back to reporting on Hello Kitty
Let's be clear about this -- hospital staff refused to treat plainclothes NYPD detectives injured in the line of duty. Not only that, these officers were treated with contempt completely outside ethical bounds for medical personnel.
From what I understand, staff supposedly did this because they thought the NYPD officers might have been 'ICE agents' as if that is a valid excuse to refuse a patient.
Let's be very clear about something -- when doctors and nurses and medical staff begin to refuse critical care over perceived political differences, we will have reached a breaking point in this country.
If this behavior is allowed to continue, and is not met with swift condemnation and consequences by the mayor and government leadership of New York as well as medical licensing boards and the professional community at large, trust in the medical profession will be shattered beyond repair.
Even during wartime, doctors and nurses were bound to treat the wounded of both sides. And they could be trusted to provide competent and compassionate care no matter who they were treating. It was, in fact, a badge of honor for the profession.
If the medical profession has now abandoned that basic morality, and patients now have to worry about being refused treatment -- or worse -- because of political hostility from their own countrymen, then a rubicon has truly been crossed and there isn't much else to say.
This is a disgrace, it is unacceptable, and it is indicative of the profound moral rot that progressive activism has brought into every corner of our civics.
The left is taking us down a very dark path indeed.
Making a random guy in a Suburban explain himself and open his trunk to verify he's not an ICE agent, then intimidating him into groveling about how much he 'respects what they're doing' as they stand there and lecture him on what kind of car he needs to rent to not be 'targeted' by their mob -- these are actual brownshirt tactics.
This is what real fascism looks like.
If this guy hadn't been this conciliatory and cooperative -- as was his absolute right, he doesn't owe these morons ANY explanation -- you can bet they'd have escalated into a physical altercation and likely destroyed his car.
These are the 'good guys' according to Democrats.
