It's been 3 days now and Robin Hood is still at large. It makes me wonder what medical insurance plan the NYPD offers. Wouldn't it be a tragedy if the investigating officers were on UHC plans? Just tragic.....

Also, ACAB. Just in case someone takes this as supporting police.

Do you think jaywalking is as bad as being the CEO of a corporation that is responsible for the deaths of many many people?

Also, you can be ticketed for jaywalking. Which is a bad thing happening. Which is the point. A bad thing happening to bad people is a philosophy our justice system is built on. We can certainly have a conversation about whether that is correct, but it definitely is the basic philosophy as it sits now.

Frankly, I think the fact that CEOs that are responsible for so much death aren't being prosecuted is a bad thing. Feel free and disagree.

But more to the point, I think that discussion shouldn't be shut down by the mods.

In this context in nearly is. It is a partial quote that is missing the context (the section it is in is generally talking about targeting other lemmy users and groups) and furthermore, they are using that overly broad one line to justify deleting a large amount of comments that "glorify" violence. Which is not in the TOS, including comments that don't talk about violence at all like:

• Someone saying they would contribute to a legal defense fund

• Someone mentioning an insanity plea or Jury nullification for a legal defense

• Someone advocating for calling in to the tip line in protest

I get the mods have a job to do, but they aren't doing it very well and are severely overreacting and over-interpreting a single line in the TOS.

Mods just deleted another of my comments for saying

"For America to get better, we need to be okay with bad things happening to bad people"

I am not entirely sure how this statement is calling for violence. Or Glorifying it. Or is even controversial.

The Mods here suck.

I saw that. The mods here have lost their collective minds. I have never seen a thread with so many deleted comments.

It is interesting. Calls for violence are against the TOS. There is actually nothing in the TOS or the sidebar rules about "Celebrating Violence".

I mean that is fine and all, and frankly it is a good policy. Just kinda bad form to be deleting so many posts for something that isn't in the TOS.

Seems the mods have added additional interpretations to the TOS and then used that as justification to delete a whole lot of the conversation.

Anyways. I like violent video games. Is that celebrating violence, how about football? Can I like football here?

Yeah, the mods over there are killing like half the comments. I looked through the modlog, and most of the deleted comments are pretty tame. The mods over there are sucking right now.

You know the worse thing is they can. They absolutely can pay out insurance claims AND profit.

They don't because they wouldn't profit ENOUGH. Think about how much MORE evil that is.

edit: the fucking mods are out of line.

For real, Right!?

A CEO is a CEO. Just because they are accountable to the shareholders does not make them working class. The CEO is the closest thing a corporation has to a singular owner. Their compensation package includes shares (ownership) of the company and they are the ones who make the decisions.

Literally their "job" is to be responsible for the actions of a corporation.

I am going to guess this person has never suffered at the hands of the American Medical Complex.

I posted in c/news about the mods being overzealous in deleting posts in these threads, and it was deleted for rule 6. Fair enough. However, I have looked over the modlogs for the post regarding this shooting and the number of posts that are being deleted for relatively innocuous comments is excessive.

Being happy a bad person got shot is not : Glorifying Violence, Celebrating Violence, nor Inciting Violence.

More over, If this were someone like Kim Jong-Un, or Putin who had been shot, I find it hard to believe the mods would be nearly so overzealous to delete comments saying in essence "good, he had it coming".

I don't think the mods are intentionally skewing the conversation as much as they have an unexamined bias.

It is okay for people to be happy a bad thing happened to a bad person. Other people are okay to disagree with this statement. Let the discussion (within reason) happen. If you aren't prepared to moderate a discussion, turn off comments on your magazine.
