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.

Summary

Former Proud Boys leader Enrique Tarrio was arrested near the U.S. Capitol for allegedly assaulting a protester by striking her phone and arm.

Tarrio had just left a press conference alongside other far-right figures pardoned by Donald Trump for their roles in the January 6 attack.

Tarrio was previously serving a 22-year sentence for seditious conspiracy before Trump's mass clemency.

A recent poll shows most Americans disapprove of pardoning Capitol rioters. Tarrio's attorney has not yet commented on the new charges.

he'll be pardoned because this is the kind of loser our two presidents are

[–] cogman@lemmy.world 61 points 1 year ago (3 children)

Yeah, that's likely the test right now. Does tarrio serve a month in jail or does he get immediately pardoned. If he's pardoned, that's a pretty strong signal for the brown shirts to start attacking people.

Be careful out there and don't expect the law to be fairly applied :(

Sometimes you read something and it just hits you what an obvious and correct statement of truth it is. That happened when I read your comment, and it almost literally sent chills down my spine.

That's why next time make sure to get it on video and defend yourself in a way it makes it very hard for him to ever try it again.

Defend yourselves. Record everything. Livestream trash like Tarrio being aggressive. Level the playing field with these fascists. Show them as the aggressors. We all know they are, but most don't.

Wait, who's the second president? Musk and ... ?

[–] ZeroCool@slrpnk.net 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Presumably Trump? But that can't be right... We all know Trump is just President Musk's "coffee boy."

[–] flyingjake@lemmy.one 7 points 1 year ago

his covefeffer, if you will

[–] OutlierBlue@lemmy.ca 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Musk and his shitty crotch fruit who told Trump he isn't president.

[–] anomnom@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Did that kid really say that? If there’s video of that I need to see it.

[–] HikingVet@lemmy.ca 3 points 1 year ago

Yeah, also that he needed to "shush" and that trump "needed to go now"

[–] ericatty@infosec.pub 4 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Wouldn't this be a state or city level crime?

[–] tburkhol@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

D.C. isn't a state, and capitol police are Federal officers. It's a legally weird place.

[–] Quill7513@slrpnk.net 6 points 1 year ago

✨ legally weird for historical slavery reasons ✨

[–] TachyonTele@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago

Who knows anymore

[–] jaggedrobotpubes@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Elon and Musk?
