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.

This dude is cooked.

He's got a long record, his crime was egregious, and white supremacists are abandoning him. Nick Fuentes came startlingly close to defending black people by saying that "Chud's" behavior was responsible for the violence.

Don't be fooled though. Chud's sin with white supremacists is making them look bad.

White supremacists don't exactly need help making themselves look bad. The mere fact that someone is s white supremacist marks them as the scum of the earth.

So many criminals only mistake is forgetting to be a billionaire.

I was able to finally find an article explaining why the funds couldn't be used, unlike the op article.

One major issue appears to be how the fundraiser was originally described. Critics have pointed out that early campaign messaging focused on supporting Eatherly and his family rather than explicitly stating that funds would be used for legal defence or bail.

I’m not siding with this guy, but he had bail set and if the money can’t be used to pay bail then he is being denied bail. Just don’t let him post bail at all.

This is like, oh you’ll never get a million bucks, oh wait I mean a million of the right kind of money.

You might want to look a little deeper than the headline.

[–] kibblebits@quokk.au 1 points 7 hours ago

I have. If a person can crowdfund money, it’s money. I don’t care. Even scumbags like this.

Should they have been allowed to crowdfund in the first place? That’s a good question.

I donated to Luigi. And, he wasn’t allowed bail at all.

When a government gets to decide that you can’t use the money you can raise to fund your legal fees (which includes bail), they are deciding how people should be prosecuted on a case by case basis, which is not equal for all.

There is no legitimate reason to tell a poor person that the money they have in their hand cannot be used to pay their bail.

That said, he needs to be denied bail because he’s a danger to society based on the accused crime.

It has been a long time since I thought about that movie.

Good. I can’t wait until he gets gen pop justice. Try your racist pranks there, loser.

He'll join the White Aryan Brotherhood or some other violent, racist prison gang and get worse. US citizens have a fetish for violence and retribution and seem shocked when they get that on the streets. When we demand rehabilitation and re-education, it may take a generation, but it will become better.

The HBO limited series, "The Night Of", did a fantastic job with this reality

I wonder why Derek Chauvin doesn’t have a gang of protectors. He became a colander in prison. 😂

Maybe I’m optimistic, but I don’t see the WAB accepting this douchebag. He clearly just wants to get a rise out of people, he doesn’t care about his white pride.

You'll be surprised what people do to survive in there.
