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.

Adams was quoted by the Post as saying the police were withholding the suspect's name for now to deny him any advantage.

“We don’t want to release that now,” the mayor said. “If you do, you are basically giving a tip to the person we are seeking and we do not want to give him an upper hand at all. Let him continue to believe he can hide behind the mask."

Yeah yeah. I'll believe it when you prove it Adams. Sounds like you still have Jack shit to me.

If they had a name, they’d probably already have the person it belongs to in custody.

Let's just call him L Simpson... no wait, that's too obvious. Lisa S.

[–] Enoril@jlai.lu 4 points 1 year ago

Not Maggie S.?

[–] Frozengyro@lemmy.world 28 points 1 year ago

I mean, this tips the guy off as much as releasing the name unless they are bluffing.

If Adams held a press conference to say the sky was still blue, I'd promptly go out and check for myself.

Adams is a piece of shit Republican who has dropped any premise of ever being progressive. I look forward to the day he leaves his post.

Also, the guy is already a hero. The moment the public learns the guy's name, it's gonna become memorialized.

DONT SAY HIS NAME. WE HAVE TO PROTECT MR SHIT

I MEAN SMITH 👀👀👀

[–] jonne@infosec.pub 14 points 1 year ago

Lol, he's totally not going to get tipped off as long as you don't say his name. It's not like he's been like the only thing in the news in the last 3 days.

So the guy knows they know who he is, but also knows they don't know who he is?

[–] nutsack@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

maybe they're about to pick a scapegoat

[–] scaramobo@lemmynsfw.com 2 points 1 year ago

Better be careful. If you say his name five times, he will appear.
