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.

A town in Sweden erects a giant straw goat every Yule / Christmas and somebody almost always finds a way to burn it down. That's despite ever increasing measures to protect the goat - fencing, spotlights, CCTV, security guards.
Well that's Charlie Kirk's statue. They'll have to encase the thing behind glass and steel walls to protect it from ever more novel attacks.
What is the intent for the straw horse other than to be burned?
"When you build the straw goat how do you do it?"
"Well we first take a 500W high intensity light bulb and pack the straw around it. Makes it shine from inside. Very pretty."
The irony that he is now immortlized as "brown".
Tarnishing Charlie Brown and everyone just going to let him feel like crap.
Has to go along with the loser generals and their loser flags.
His face is far too big on his head, doesn't even look like him.
AI slop tends to drag things toward the average appearance for what it depicts.
Yeah he just looks like a generic white reply guy. Of course, that is what he was in reality.
Love the neck paint
He died doing what he loved, celebrating gun violence.
The most useful thing he ever did was die
Anyone can die
But it takes a special kind of person to become the victim of gun violence while publicly defending gun violence.
Absolute legend.

His wife agrees. But, she apparently has failed to capitalize on the event as much as she hoped to.

He wasn't a Nazi, He just said a bunch of egregious stuff that people who hate Nazis hate
Isnt it supposed to look like that?
He was a social media influencer, not an activist. Everything he did was for attention or profit.
Maybe get a statue of Hitler and Mussolini as well, oh, dont forget Pol Pot and one of trump.
