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 is the sober, clear-eyed proper reporting of the incident. The much more fun-to-read-one is over here.

TL;DR: far-right freedom-cockus nutjob state house member arrested at 3am chasing a stripper with a gun. Allegedly. No word yet if we can expect a ‘ten-commandments-in-schools’ bill from said nutjob.

52 is already at its limit, I think he'll be page 53 of Republican sexual predators, abusers, and enablers.

"Friske is always exercising his 2nd Amendment right."

...to shoot at strippers?

As Jesus taught us to do.

Sounds like someone ignored the obvious sign that this guy needed to be patted down to check him for weapons.

[–] homesweethomeMrL@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Oh he wasn't in da club, he was running around outside. One imagines in his tighty-whitey underwear, shitfaced and screaming, firing a gun wildly in anger at a woman who is not his lawfully wedded wife. Allegedly.

frisk • The act of frisking, of searching for something by feeling someone's body. 

The customs officer gave me a frisk after I went through the metal detector.

If they’d found anything before his shenanigans, this story about Mr. Friske could have been posted here: https://feddit.uk/c/nominativedeterminism

Ahhh i see what you did there. Now.

Çhasing prostitutes at 2am..... Standard GOP practice and exercising family values
