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.

The 27-year-old man who police say shot and killed a California business owner over a Pride flag draped in her store appears to have had a yearslong history of posting disturbing — and often violent — anti-LGBTQ messages on social media.

The suspect, Travis Ikeguchi, gunned down Laura Ann Carleton, 66, on Friday, after confronting her and “yelling many homophobic slurs” over her clothing store’s Pride flag, San Bernardino County Sheriff Shannon Dicus said at a news conference Monday. Shortly after fleeing the store, Mag.Pi, Ikeguchi was killed in a shootout with law enforcement.

Funny how obsessed he was with guys sucking each others dicks. Repressing something?

Seems like stochastic terrorism again.

Also a little surprised the police shot him instead of making nice. On the one hand I'm not sad the violent bigot is dead. On the other summary execution by the police is fucked up.

You mean the results of stochastic terrorism? Because what he did was just plain terrorism.

Summary execution? It’s a gunfight, he was shooting at the police using his gun.

Right wingers are here forum sliding and everyone's falling for it

[–] cubedsteaks@lemmy.today 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

lol yup. That was a sad read through.

I blocked the troll and like 90% of the comment section disappeared. That's how much damage that shitbag did by getting people to respond to contrarian trash.

What's really weird is why the fuck isn't the mod doing anything?

[–] cubedsteaks@lemmy.today 3 points 2 years ago

Good question.

[–] Donjuanme@lemmy.world 10 points 2 years ago

27 years old. Barely not a fucking stupid kid. I wish you could see how much pain you caused. I wish you could've let it go. What did you think you'd accomplish, I don't care because it hurts to think about what you could've accomplished of you lived your life with peace rather than anger.

[–] Staccato@lemmy.world 10 points 2 years ago

Quit making a martyr out of this loser and wannabe terrorist. He deserves to die in obscurity, not have his story told as part of the victim's own tale.

[–] Pratai@lemmy.ca 9 points 2 years ago

Ya don’t say….

[–] nl4real@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

This is a feature, not a bug, of the right. If you're not a part of their cult, THEY. WANT. YOU. DEAD.
