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.

since people are upset with the NYPost article...

“With today’s guilty plea, Mr. Mangione has accepted full responsibility for the death of Brian Thompson,” Karen Friedman Agnifilo, Mangione’s attorney, said during a press conference outside the courthouse.

“On the morning of Dec. 4, 2024, I shot Mr. Thompson in Manhattan, and he died,” Mangione told the court, according to The Associated Press.

With the obvious caveat that I'm not a lawyer and this is my opinion - The only way this makes any sense to me is if Luigi wants to become a martyr.

There's no way he's going to get any sort of leniency - he killed a wealthy person. The search, Luigi's arrest, and the trial have all been a performative farce; an attempt to dissuade anybody else from getting the same idea. They aren't going to stop just because he pled guilty.

They straight up say that in the article:

“Mangione attempted to send a public message through violence, but the message that emerges today is very different,” McDonald said. “Violence is not a legitimate instrument to promote any political or social message, and those who resort to violence in an effort to advance their beliefs will be prosecuted.”

So about ICE...

“Violence is only for us to use. You peasants don’t get to use it against us.”

If we ever get our Nuremberg trials, then yes ICE.

So about our healthcare system that condemns you to death for the crime of having not only too little money for treatment, but too little money for the profit margin...

[–] meco03211@lemmy.world 27 points 23 hours ago

Violence is not the answer!

But also we want to seek the death penalty.

Unless they are the government, of course.
