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.

Apparently, there was a guy who drugged and raped his wife and sold her to be raped by 50 other men in France, fucking 20 years in prison. Only 20 years. Fuck....

I understand what you mean, but if I read it correctly the articles said that he was her husband for 50 years. Assuming they got married at 20, he would now be 70, so 20 years means that most likely the rest of his miserable life will be in prison.

And?

Jail isn’t for revenge, longer years won’t undo anything.

It's also partly to keep dangerous people away from ordinary civilization

Dude will most likely be dead before he has sat out his sentence.

It seems unlikely anyone will be accepting a drink or marriage proposal from him anytime soon.

Oh yeah, big worries from the 92 year old. He might have a heart attack on someone.

[–] hmonkey@lemy.lol 3 points 1 year ago

You think he'd go around spreading Christmas cheer if they let him out? This dude's fucked up, he'll find some 92-year-old's way to make the world worse on his way out. I somehow don't really care if he spends the rest of his life in prison

Apparently

It's been like huge news AND it's mentioned in the article

[–] tamal3@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

All of the rapists received some jail time, too. Not enough, but some.
