News
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.

Assistant manager. Probably also a privately-owned store.
Additionally, he was taunting the agents (i.e. flipping the bird, etc). Let’s hope his bosses see eye to eye on this, and he doesn’t lose his job.
And if he does, we can start a GoFundMe (or whatever better alternative there is) for this hero.
If the assistant manager of a brother's chicken in Kenner can stand up for the rule of law, the lawyers that are also New Orleans city council members really have no excuse.
How can you be "interfering" with immigration orders by telling the people carrying out those orders we all have to follow the rule of law, unless those are unlawful immigration orders you're "interfering" with?
If they are unlawful, then maybe you should be asking if it's really wise for you to follow illegal orders just because some dickheads told you to.
Posting signs on city owned property that simply reminds these people they need a warrant to come in and "do their jobs" seems like a pretty bare minimum ask. Why shouldn't they have to follow the law like everybody else?
When you're not on the car lot, it's just "a request".
"I was only protecting our customers"
Good on him. Sounds like he knows how to run a business better than most CEOs.
If you want people to willingly give you their business, model yourself after this young man. Sell a product they want to buy and do things that show you give a shit about them.
If you want people to boycott your business, prove how smart you are by modeling yourself after the guy at Campbell's soup. Get recorded talking shit about the poor people who buy the slop you sell.
If you want people to be forced to begrudgingly buy or use your shit product, at least until somebody creates a black market or open source version, model yourself after the oligarchs who run the private monopolies contracted and protected by the state. Prove how much you love small gubamint and private businesses by abusing your power even further, and create laws that make it illegal to participate in a freed market.
We should GoFundHim far enough to take over that store and fire the manager.
