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.

You know what image that kind of language invokes. It's also not germane to the issue either way, because I'm not talking about politically persecuting people, I'm talking about judicial expediency dealing with people who are committing actual crimes and using their political views as justification for it.
Uh huh, yeah. The crime here being... (Checks up thread) Living in a rural area.
Shitty strawman but I guess we can't expect much from the schools out there
And who are you? You're out here defending something awfully close to stochastic terrorism by assuming all the worst stuff about the people someone else was talking about. They literally said,
And you're out here like, they're obviously talking about the locking up criminals. And you blow right by the fact that long sentences are the traditional means of setting an example, it's already a thing to lock people up in way they never come back to the street, as an example. So what's next? What's further down the path? Beyond long sentences to set an example? Well your bestest buddy here uses the words, "enforced attrition." Let's have a look at the definitions for those words.
So we're going cause the reduction in strength of rednecks by force. And lest you think we would be talking about forcing them to eat less, this is a specific example in the dictionary for attrition,
So I don't know where you went to school, but at mine they taught us critical reading. And this reads like some shit Goebbels would say. And that's proving Godwin's Law.
