Welcome to c/news! We aim to foster a book-club type environment for discussion and critical analysis of the news. Our policy objectives are:

We ask community members to appreciate the uncertainty inherent in critical analysis of current events, the need to constantly learn, and take part in the community with humility. None of us are the One True Leftist, not even you, the reader.

Newcomm and Newsmega Rules:

The Hexbear Code of Conduct and Terms of Service apply here.

  1. Link titles: Please use informative link titles. Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed.

  2. Content warnings: Posts on the newscomm and top-level replies on the newsmega should use content warnings appropriately. Please be thoughtful about wording and triggers when describing awful things in post titles.

  3. Fake news: No fake news posts ever, including April 1st. Deliberate fake news posting is a bannable offense. If you mistakenly post fake news the mod team may ask you to delete/modify the post or we may delete it ourselves.

  4. Link sources: All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. If you are citing a Twitter post as news, please include the Xcancel.com (or another Nitter instance) or at least strip out identifier information from the twitter link. There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance, such as Libredirect or archive them as you would any other reactionary source.

  5. Archive sites: We highly encourage use of non-paywalled archive sites (i.e. archive.is, web.archive.org, ghostarchive.org) so that links are widely accessible to the community and so that reactionary sources don’t derive data/ad revenue from Hexbear users. If you see a link without an archive link, please archive it yourself and add it to the thread, ask the OP to fix it, or report to mods. Including text of articles in threads is welcome.

  6. Low effort material: Avoid memes/jokes/shitposts in newscomm posts and top-level replies to the newsmega. This kind of content is OK in post replies and in newsmega sub-threads. We encourage the community to balance their contribution of low effort material with effort posts, links to real news/analysis, and meaningful engagement with material posted in the community.

  7. American politics: Discussion and effort posts on the (potential) material impacts of American electoral politics is welcome, but the never-ending circus of American Politics© Brought to You by Mountain Dew™ is not welcome. This refers to polling, pundit reactions, electoral horse races, rumors of who might run, etc.

  8. Electoralism: Please try to avoid struggle sessions about the value of voting/taking part in the electoral system in the West. c/electoralism is right over there.

  9. AI Slop: Don't post AI generated content. Posts about AI race/chip wars/data centers are fine.

Breaking news: cops don't want to solve literally the easiest murder case ever brought to a court. surprised-pika

[–] SorosFootSoldier@hexbear.net 64 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Gee wonder why the police would object, surely they're not covering for the person who did murder her, right?

[–] SacredExcrement@hexbear.net 45 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

wdym, she stabbed herself to death

20 times, 10 of them in the back of the neck

In the bathroom, where the door was apparently locked from the inside and broken down from the outside

When her boyfriend was the only other person around

[–] Thordros@hexbear.net 31 points 2 years ago (1 children)

It was the whole apartment that was locked, but same idea. She'd put a security bar on the door, which is a normal thing to do when your boyfriend goes downstairs for a bit.

She also had bruises all over her body, from days before the definitely not murder ha ha ha ha.

I was just taking the bathroom being locked from the article summary

She'd put a security bar on the door

Makes it even worse, jesus

You could try to argue suicide, but if you're going to plan it, I don't think it would involve non fatally stabbing yourself this much, and if it was impulsive...why do you have a door bar?

[–] FunkyStuff@hexbear.net 44 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Surprised that her boyfriend wasn't a cop and part of the 40%.

[–] Thordros@hexbear.net 30 points 2 years ago

Surprised that her boyfriend wasn't a cop and part of the 40%.

He was a part of the 1%. Different class enemy, same story.

FYI: Josh Shapiro, Kamala’s other VP pick, was the DA in charge of the case.

[–] Teapot@hexbear.net 22 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Da in charge 10 years later

[–] RyanGosling@hexbear.net 20 points 2 years ago

Yes, but the family kept pressing him and he never bothered reviewing it and offloaded it when sketchier findings surfaced.

[–] Wertheimer@hexbear.net 45 points 2 years ago (1 children)

In reversing its homicide ruling, the Medical Examiner’s Office relied heavily on what it said were the findings of an outside neuropathologist, Lucy Rorke-Adams, who allegedly determined Greenberg’s spinal cord wasn’t damaged by the wounds to the back of her neck, which would have allowed her to inflict the subsequent wounds on herself, including the final plunge to her chest.

But nobody has ever been able to produce that neuropathology report, or an invoice for it, and Rorke-Adams previously told The Inquirer that she had no recollection of the case.

Ahh now it makes sense. Someone stabbed her in the back but didn't do significant damage, then she independently decided to stab herself in the chest.

"In bad country..."

If there was ever a job for the Pennsylvania secret service.

[–] ComradePlatypus@hexbear.net 13 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Probably needs a content warning somewhere.

I think about how the joke "shot himself twice is the head" thing sometimes is sometimes actually true. Like sometimes suicidal people fail the initial attempt and keep going instead of seeking help or stopping.

But there's like no way that happened here, this seems like the fiancé killed her.

[–] PoY@lemmygrad.ml 3 points 2 years ago

not to the back of the head tho

[–] CantaloupeAss@hexbear.net 11 points 2 years ago

Really just wish I hadn't read this

[–] AnarchoBolshevik@lemmygrad.ml 7 points 2 years ago

Something tells me that I’d fail suicide again even if I stabbed myself twenty fucking times.
