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, 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.

What loss of innocent life are they talking about?

Fin foil hat time

The explosion of flock cameras is a reaction to the realization the killer, whoever it may be, will end up with minimal consequence for one of the most publicly acclaimed killings ever

New account. NY Post. Sure is a good source…

Luigi just plead guilty.

Looks like it was a good source.

Thanks for the leg work!

Such a good example of the two level justice system. Minimal evidence this guy did anything, but he’s been held since like the day after without conviction.

Meanwhile in Texas you can diddle all the children you like as long as Kenny has your back.

So much winning.

It all comes down to

A) How much justice can you afford?

B) which class are you? (See A)

Much appreciated!

I have nypost in my pihole blocklist because it's so shit.

[–] P38lightning0520@feddit.online 0 points 7 hours ago

Luigi just plead guilty.

Looks like the NY Post was accurate, as usual.

In a real country we would have broken him out by now

[–] nulluser@lemmy.world 13 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Well? What are you waiting for?

I have a son with pretty severe autism, he can't look after himself. I'm sure everyone else has similar stories :(

And you’ve just stumbled across the exact problem: People in America are kept juuuust comfortable enough to feel like they’d have a lot to lose.

The complete lack of any kind of safety nets means the vast majority of Americans can’t afford to rebel, because they still have to put food on the table in the meantime. And they can’t take time off work (or risk losing their job entirely by getting arrested) to go burn down a government building.

Then maybe don't use the term "we" if you're not going to be participating in the risky part.
