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.

Just be sure to do it via cash so they can't put you on a list.

Donation services and apps usually have clauses about not using the money for criminal defence, so they'll just refund it.

How do you crowd fund with cash internationally ;)

[–] bulwark@lemmy.world 11 points 1 year ago

Do people still use Monero?

[–] bitwise@lemmy.ca 11 points 1 year ago (1 children)

There are ways to do it, most of them tracked to prevent the funding of terrorism and crime.

Bringing a suitcase full of cash into the country isn't going to work, either. They'll just seize it at the border.

You could always go to the effort to establish a charity, but I'm not a US citizen so I don't know enough about what's allowed or available with respect to what qualifies something to be a charity.

Maybe if you make it a "Christian" organization dedicated to providing legal defence to "wayward souls" or something?

I don't think they'll be granting 501C status to your "Let's shoot the billionaires" organization.

[–] Sweetpeaches69@lemmy.world 18 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I'm absolutely pitching in.

Not even American and I probably will

GoFundMe has already removed several listings for this

*mysterious grease fire burns down Penn. McDonald’s

Fucking rat was a boomer too.

[–] sndmn@lemmy.ca 19 points 1 year ago

Yet another reason to avoid that "restaurant".

[–] wildbus8979@sh.itjust.works 10 points 1 year ago

Wouldn't be surprised if that was a cover for parallel construction.

had a ghost gun capable of firing a 9 mm round and a suppressor, police said. The gun and suppressor were "consistent with the weapon used in the murder," NYPD Commissioner Jessica Tisch said. The gun "may have been made on a 3D printer," police said.

Mangione also had a three-page handwritten document "that speaks to his motivation and mindset," Tisch said.

Man if you assassinate someone maybe don’t keep the weapon and manifesto on your person.

How did he not throw that stuff away while he was in the park?!

Common man!

[–] cralder@lemmy.world 16 points 1 year ago (1 children)

He must have known he would get caught right? Why else keep a written note on him? He must have intended for it to be found and mentioned in the news to further bring attention to the broken healthcare system

[–] PhobosAnomaly@feddit.uk 4 points 1 year ago

I think you're halfway there - he probably did mean for it to be found, if he was killed or died in the interim.

That would have been his failsafe to tell his story to the world.

Source: there isn't one, it's simply one line of supposition

"It does seem that he had some ill will toward corporate America," police said.

Wiggin may be incompetent but at least he’s not a class traitor. Never forget that he let Mona Simpson go rather than hand her over to Mr Burns.
