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.

Murdering people is not the answer.
Handwringing and stifling other's calls to action sure the fuck isn't the answer.
It's not murder if it's self defense.
He who saves his country breaks no laws.
Write this shit across your chest and wear it like armor.
The government's coming right at me!
You are stupid if you think that's what is implied here. Your way of thinking, is what allows fascism to take power.
Maybe an overexaggeration, but maybe not...
If fascism does play out, and eventually "they come for me" because I am among one of the most hated minorities in the world (atheist). I will be armed. My only goal will be to take out at least one of the cops before they inevitably kill me. I'm not dying in some el Salvador or Rwandan torture prison. I only hope I'm prepared and have the courage to pull the trigger if the time comes.
Get armed. Learn how to use it.
Nazi lives don't matter.
It's a little known fact that the Nazis were turned back at Stalingrad by a weekend protest full of clever chants and picket signs.
Murdering fascist filth, however, is the answer.
My buddy Tommy Jeffy says:
"The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.”
Yeah historically fascists have reacted very well to a nice sit down talk.
This sentiment is pushed onto you to protect the status quo.
trump sentiment has been to call for a civil war for years. I think it's part of his plan to grab full power over it.
So self defense yes, murder squads no
Fascists aren't people. They're rabid animals whose hunger for power and control cannot be satiated.
Facists die. That's the way the world has always gotten better.
Fellow Internet citizen, you have an absolutely cool username.
Also, this: being curious about your past comments, I checked out your profile and was impressed by the accuracy of your posts, your excellent use of language - and the fact that you provide links to back your statements up.
You rock. Have a great day and thank you!
Peaceful protest against law enforcement snatching people in the street without any form of justification and sending them to death camp abroad does not work much either.
Murdering a bunch of Nazis worked once before....
Fascists aren’t people. Murdering fascists is the answer.
Damn, this is sad to say because I want to agree with you but from my understanding of history, fascism doesn’t ever end without violence.
The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants. It is its natural manure.
Incorrect.
Very much correct. It will be a bloodbath if that is the direction this goes. We need to bankrupt the people that are the face of this.
The point of being armed is that you increase the cost of fascist goons carrying out the street level orders of the fascist leader. Do you love freedom enough?
Tell that to 3rd world prison they've decided to rendition undesirables to. How long before they start collecting "the homegrowns" and start cross referencing their little "autism database" they're building? We can all see where this is going. This is my home, I don't want my friends and family disappeared before they finally get to me.
We got here because the FBI murdered socialists in cold blood.
It's self defence.
How's that bootleather taste?
Holy shit, never seen so many downvotes
This is incorrect.
if it makes you feel better, i agree with you
We found the first undesireable by the normal population.
