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.

The line is check your target, get them alone, and just them. That’s a fuck ton more than they do when they indiscriminately kill thousands of people by denying valid claims. They’re getting off easy.
So, you ever had a job in law enforcement of any kind?
Why do you assume everyone wanting to do this vigilante thing will do that?
I've played this game before. If I say no, you'll just claim I'm lying about it.
And it's really silly to assume someone works or ever worked in law enforcement because they have seen a lot of vigilantes attack or kill the wrong person. Believe it or not, I just think that's why vigilantism is a bad thing. You make a lot of silly assumptions.
But sure, I was totally in law enforcement.
Obviously this is an invented persona covering up my undercover police activites. Me and James Acaster. Curses, you found me out! I'm going to have to go back to the station and get a new mustache now.
So were you ever or are you now in law enforcement, yes or no?
Like I said, you figured out my dastardly undercover plan to spend my entire adult life working in video and audio production:
I went to the police academy at age 5 and got hired by the FBI when I was 9 and by the time I was 18 and went to school to become an audio engineer, I had already begun my federal police plan to infiltrate Lemmy. In the year 1999.
And it would have worked if it wasn't for you kids and your dog.
I don't know how you figured out that I am very much definitely a cop for sure, but you've ruined 38 years of hard police work!
So were you ever or are you now in law enforcement, yes or no?
I told you:
So weird how this question drives you so mad that you can’t just answer it. I never thought this would be someone’s button.
I did answer it:
Yes. Or. No.
Are you under the impression that the movie trope is true and that he can't lie about it? Lol what's the point of this question? There's not much of a reason to even suspect it but either way why bother?
They sound like a naive teenager
