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 wheels of justice move slowly it’s true but the consolation prize is a gradual drip feed of these morons getting hit with the consequences of their crimes.
I say keep these stories going for another ten years.
The wheels of justice move slowly
I can't imagine any good excuses for these delays
Gregory Yetman, who was arrested by the FBI after a search last week, had been reported to the bureau as a Capitol riot participant by the military shortly after Jan. 6 – yet continued to serve in the National Guard for more than a year, and was not charged until this month, court documents show.
But a New Jersey National Guard official told USA TODAY earlier this year that Yetman continued to serve in the guard for more than a year after that time. He was honorably discharged in March 2022.
The U.S. Army Criminal Investigation Command identified Yetman to the FBI on Jan. 14, 2021 — eight days after the insurrection, the documents state. Army investigators sent the bureau screenshots from Yetman’s Facebook profile in which he brags about being at the Capitol on Jan. 6 and states “I’m not fighting for this country anymore.” A few days later, FBI investigators interviewed Yetman for about 10 minutes, the documents state.
[Bolding added]
They knew who he was and what he'd done, he was being reported by other cops, and yet nothing happened for years, until
Yetman was identified in a USA TODAY investigation in March that examined the more than 100 Jan. 6 suspects who could be identified from the FBI’s “Wanted” photographs, but had not yet been charged.
Members of the online amateur investigators known collectively as the “Sedition Hunters” provided USA TODAY with names and information about many of those people, whose photographs on the FBI site matched their social media postings or other public information.
Fuck the FBI, who have been fascist goons since their inception, and thank goodness for online amateurs and a free press that makes them actually do their job and protect us

Don't conflate the US legal system with a justice system. The goals and implementations of the two are radically different
