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.

He ran in shooting, shirtless? Rambo style??

The brain drain in every department is obvious. How does a building with several of US's move powerful "leaders" get breached this easily. I see only two what's this happens. One: it was staged in some why. Two: incompetent people have taken hold so deeply something stupid like a door was left open and unguarded.

Putting on the thinnest tinfoil hat: “This is why we need the ballroom!”

And “California is where the terrorists come from!”

Did he find a way to blame trans people yet?

[–] cattywampas@lemmy.world 4 points 2 hours ago (2 children)

If it were staged why would they leave him alive? Incompetence is the easiest and simplest answer.

If it were staged why would they tell the patsy that?

Tinfoil hat answer: The fact that he is alive and did not even catch a bullet shows that it was staged. You want to tell me a guy with a shotgun runs towards American police officers and nobody even shoots him? Sounds fake. They must have had orders to not actually shoot him, stage a small gunfight and then just arrest him. The guy probably got a good paycheck for his upcoming prison time.

It really is funny how rampage shooters get apprehended alive, while traffic stops escalate into executions

[–] lazynooblet@lazysoci.al 10 points 1 hour ago

This made me laugh. Then I got sad. :(

[–] frongt@lemmy.zip 4 points 1 hour ago

The DC, capitol, and federal police are generally better trained, and they're unlikely to start shooting at a sprinting target when there's a bunch of bystanders beyond him. All it takes is one guy to clothesline him.

[–] DreadPirateSnuggles@lemmy.ca 6 points 3 hours ago

Could be both.

[–] TheDemonBuer@lemmy.world 5 points 2 hours ago

Not exactly John Wick, is he.

[–] SarahValentine@lemmy.blahaj.zone 24 points 3 hours ago

Not trans, not a drag queen. A good "christian" fellow.

This guy just tried "leeroy jenkins" irl

Did they at least serve chicken???
