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.
These aren't charges they're dismissing. They're dismissing convictions. Dismissing a conviction sounds a lot like a pardon. I didn't know it was legally possible for a prosecutor to do that.
These people were found guilty through due process. Now the DOJ is re-writing history.
It’s possible to vacate convictions “in the interests of justice” - think someone on death row with exculpatory evidence found years later and a prosecutor mature enough to admit they made a mistake. Or in this case a corrupt DOJ and a corrupt court system working in concert.
None of this should be working like this.
fuck those traitors
Which ones? The ones being pardoned or the ones doing the pardoning?
Yes
All of them. There needs to be Nuremberg trials 2.0.
They'll be back before a judge on various pedophilia and sexual assault charges soon enough.
I appreciate your optimism
They didn't say convicted, they just said back.
Still optimistic
Not really, it's already happened to a few of them.
You're not far off. I recall seeing this story appear in some comm here a few weeks ago:
https://www.wwlp.com/news/crime/amherst-man-sentenced-for-child-pornography-after-jan-6-pardon/
And that wasn't the first time it happened.
They have to get work with ICE and traffick kidnapped minors for Donny for a few months first.
Hmmm sounds like maybe we need to find a form of justice that can’t be dismissed
Just in time to start a presidential run.
But if they were minority children exonerated by DNA evidence they'd do fuck-all about it. Zero hyperbole involved to call these fucks disgusting Nazis.
Probably making deals pre-midterms. We'll keep you out of jail if you intimidate blue state elections. Hell we'll give you an ICE uniform on top of that
Fuck this!
Man, Woody Harrelson really let himself go, huh
