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.

This (and Epstein's associates in general) are some of the extremely few instances where I'd feel completely justified in calling for extrajudicial justice when normal justice fails us.
Vigilantism is a symptom of a failed justice system. I'd give good odds on this.
Well, we definitely have a failed justice system, so it's hard to disagree with your conclusion.
You do realize this government has programs that scour social media for comments just like this, right? They're real 21st century authoritarians, and while not quite as bad as China yet, they're trying hard to get there.
Yeaaah but some of us are commenting from the sidelines in countries with free speech
Yeah but do you have any oil perchance? Did you use olive oil with your eggs this morning? If so, THEY'RE COMING.
With the way Trump talks about Canada and the fact we do have oil, you might not be wrong :(
Y'all about to get freedom'd
You're welcome to try, if you want to realize why Russia has had such an unfun time so far trying to invade a country whose people already speak your language and are mostly visually indistinguishable from you. The US does not have a good track record of successfully enduring in an occupation against guerilla warfare in the first place. If you thought Vietnam and Afghanistan were bad, or the 9/11 terror attacks were bad, there's always a way it can get much, much worse and much more widespread. Nukes and strategic bombers and all the other wonderweapons the US has aren't the "I win" button the US thinks they are. Those can make an army and a government surrender, but they can't make a people surrender. And it's the people they'll have to worry about in the long run. Especially in Canada. Grab SKS, go inna woods. There's a loooooot of woods up here.
I suspect if something like that happened you'd see a lot of "refugees" streaming north across the border.
Picking a fight with our northern cousins is absolutely a losing move that only a loser would consider.
We would welcome you and would invite you to grab scary black assault rifle, go inna woods too. There are plenty of woods here for everyone.
Brother I love hockey, pancakes, beer, AND the woods. I'm sorry my government is full of idiots.
So what are suggesting? To shut up, get in line, and lick the boot?
Yep, you got it 100%. That's exactly what I said, glad you could read.
Ah, maybe you're saying that we should cower from the authoritarian regime. Who knows, I'm illiterate.
Anyways, the comment above was a question that you're more than welcome to answer rather than give a snarky little quip. I understand if that's a stretch for you though. Best to stay scared.
read my other comments, then maybe go outside for a bit
Cool, I hope they see this and are ready to take on a well armed, highly decorated veteran, that they trained specifically to deal with a hostile invasion force, with lots of booby traps that I can deploy at will.
You do you I guess
Cool. I hope they can read that they fucking suck then.
You can say that all you want. Fuck Trump. Fuck this regime. Fuck ICE. etc. but when you start promoting specific violent acts against specific people, things get more complicated. Probably still fine tbh, but historically the government has actually gone after social media users who say specific violent threats.
Someone should stab Mitch McConnell with a wooden steak blessed with holy water. I bet he would burn to ash.
Don't be a bitch. Say what you want to say until they physically stop you.
I mean, follow your heart then
