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.
“We sent Lexington Police Department out to speak to him, and he refused to do that,” [Sheriff] Weems told NewsChannel 5. “I mean, what kind of person does that? What kind of person just says he don’t care, I’m not taking it down?”
One exercising his right to free speech guaranteed to him by the Constitution, you power tripping whiny fuck.
It was not a Charlie Kirk meme?
It was an image macro of a Trump quote dismissing a school shooting. Not to be overly pedantic, but this is an easily verifiable "fact of the matter".
This is the post:
But even snopes seems to get it wrong. And I guess in context with the text posted as part of the image post I suppose you could read into it as being Charlie Kirk related, but its.. just posting it at the time of the shooting to highlight the callous nature of Trump doesn't make it a Charlie Kirk meme?
Says he broke the law but the article doesn't mention it. Whats the law?
I'm tattling to the police on you for posting this meme.
From the reporting I've seen on it so far, its not at all clear to me that any one even reported this/ brought this to police attention in the role of 'citizen'. From what I can tell in the interview, the sherrif(s?) either were actively monitoring the thread, and/ or were aware of the thread from personal interaction and then chose to intervene?
The whole thing should be getting FAR more press than it actually is. Its utterly baffling to try and figure out what these Sherrifs think the basis of arrest actually was.
That all being said, civil liberties are an afterthought in the face of state violence. There should be riots over this.
He should immediately post it again
In America, if you make fun out of president's favourite podcaster, you go to jail
God she's had so much work done. She survived n Korea, only to come here and adopt the worst of Korean beauty culture.
UK style thought police now coming to a US State near you. The silver lining is that we can now hook up a battery to Orwell’s spinning corpse for unlimited free energy.
If only someone had warned us! 😩
