Welcome to the News community!

Rules:

1. Be civil


Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.


2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.


Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.


3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.


Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.


4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.


Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.


5. Only recent news is allowed.


Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.


6. All posts must be news articles.


No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.


7. No duplicate posts.


If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.


8. Misinformation is prohibited.


Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.


9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.


All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.


10. Don't copy entire article in your post body


For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.

The suspect is still at large - officials earlier said they found a high-powered rifle in woods near where Kirk was shot.

Also, "high powered rifle" essentially means "not a 22".

Speaking of the devil. Did any award money in the Luigi case actually get distributed? If not, are there reasonable conditions not met yet?

I saw a theory the other day that there was no tip from an McDonald's employee. The authorities might've used some illegal surveillance to find him and just said it was a tip from an employee to avoid acknowledging that.

Which is funny because his lawyers will definitely ask for this info in discovery and it will come out anyways. Also if they found him using illegal tech they could argue it in his favor.

The existence of “stingrays” (fake cell towers used to surveil protesters and others) was made public due to legal discovery.

That's why they were trying to push the McDonald's narrative, they probably just couldn't find a patsy to take the heat there.

[–] frongt@lemmy.zip 23 points 5 months ago

Yeah, if you look, they never actually said it was an employee.

[–] CmdrShepard49@sh.itjust.works 28 points 5 months ago (1 children)

No, the McDonalds worker didn't get the 'reward' money because they called local police instead of the CrimeStoppers number when they reported it.

[–] pivot_root@lemmy.world 10 points 5 months ago

Ain't that a shame. Who could have guessed that would happen? Not the opportunistic class-traitor, that's for sure.

[–] homesweethomeMrL@lemmy.world 12 points 5 months ago

I think the guy got a firm handshake from one of the deputies.

[–] Nougat@fedia.io 22 points 5 months ago

This comment has confused me.

e: OHHHHHHHHH

People who go to McDonald's are mostly right wing.
