News
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.

What a racist asshole.
More like psychopath with a range of untreated mental illnesses who should be locked up for everyone's safety including his own. If only locking him up meant he'd get treated and not trained into something worse.
I’m curious what makes you think he is mentally ill and not just a raging racist. Cause I’m mentally I’ll, and I don’t try to strangle people who look different from me in a rage.
Do you think mental illness only comes in one form and affects people in one way? How else would you describe someone who follows and attacks someone based on some need to fulfill an imaginary direction from an authority other than a person suffering from a form of psychosis? He is clearly also a racist arsehole.
"Cunt"
Uh I'm pretty sure "racist asshole" covered it, no need to imply that mental illness causes racism (cause it doesn't)
Mental illness doesn't cause racism, but healthy people don't follow other people for 60km and then try and beat them up
Healthy people don't follow a random stranger for an hour to assault them because of the perceived darkness of their skin.
It really blows my mind we are dealing with a resurgence of racism in the 21st century in America. I was over it when I was a child. It is like I got teleported back to the 1800s.
We really fucked up by not stomping out the south will rise again bullshit. We coddled racism so long we allowed it to fester and grow like the cancer it is.
By this logic no healthy person would ever vote for a cartoonishly stupid oompa loompa.
Oh it wasn't random.
What a ~~racist~~ BIASED asshole!
