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.

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.

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.

Apparently, Ashli Babbitt's mother was in attendance (who knows why). Anyway, this Hostetter dude mentioned Ashli's name, among all his other brain dead statements. He claimed she's not actually dead! The mother afterwards said that said didn't like the comment, but thought that his sentence was too long. How at that point do you not simply say screw him, pile it on?! She's so gone on her own nonsense probably she can't even see the people she "sides with" have no interest other than to use her daughter as a prop. And it's pretty fucking sick. I wish them all the worst.

Yeah, she's been trying to capitalize on the comically stupid and pointless death of her traitor daughter for awhile now.

So Ashlin Babbitt got her dumb ass self killed. Now her fellow "patriots" think that she was a planted actor as part of the deep state. That's some chef's kiss irony right there.

Also, the fact that this dude brought weapons to an insurrection with the intent of "putting the fear of God" into Congress, and then has the balls to claim that January 6th was a false flag is some serious mental gymnastics. Is he claiming that he's a deep state plant himself?

people who have something to gain from her are probably extremely kind to her.

I'm thinking of how they used Paula Jones in the Clinton impeachment kinda thing.

Just a reminder that the dildo of consequences rarely arrives lubed.

What ever happened to that guy with the zip ties for restraining hostages with? Is he going to do some time over this too? While not as affective at chopping meat with, I feel like the intent was more pronounced with the zip ties.

[–] akai_android@programming.dev 25 points 2 years ago (5 children)

He got time but not as much

Eric Munchel, 32, of Tennessee, was sentenced to nearly five years in prison in connection with the attack on the U.S. Capitol in 2021, while his mother, Lisa Eisenhart, 59, received a two-and-a-half-year term.

That just shows you, when they post the sign-up sheet to bring things to the insurrection, you want to respond early so you can get something like zip-ties. If you put if off too long, you'll end up having to bring the hatchet.

Ideally, you want to be first so you can just bring the kool-aid. I understand they drink a lot of it.

[–] rebelsimile@sh.itjust.works 10 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Also sentencing is starting to get more aggressive as I think judges are seeing that these morons are becoming moron celebrities in the moron community. Aside from the judges that are also in the moron community.

[–] reverendsteveii@lemm.ee 6 points 2 years ago (1 children)

the guy who shouted "trump won" after his sentencing kinda blew it for everyone else.

[–] rebelsimile@sh.itjust.works 6 points 2 years ago

I think the buffalo hat dude is also fucking it up for the rest.

Well played.

They should have started with the 11 year sentences for these cowardly idiots.

[–] FlashMobOfOne@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago

Honestly shocked that one of them is being sentenced to hard time. Too bad he didn't have drugs on him.

[–] Hanabie@sh.itjust.works 12 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I heard they love ex-cops in jail. Long time.

[–] awnery@lemmy.world 17 points 2 years ago (2 children)

jail is not for torture and we got a lot of problems that won't be fixed with a shitty attitude. fix your perspective and don't forget, the cops must be brought to bear

[–] girlfreddy@sh.itjust.works 8 points 2 years ago (1 children)

brought to bear - means "to use with effect"

Supreme court: you are infringing on the first amendment rights of protestors to make their views known about the political association of butcher implements and politicians' meat,

Imagine throwing away your life over such an obvious lie
