Welcome
We're not The Onion! Not affiliated with them in any way! Not operated by them in any way! All the news here is real!
The Rules
Posts must be:
- Links to news stories from...
- ...credible sources, with...
- ...their original headlines, that...
- ...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”
Please also avoid duplicates.
Comments and post content must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.
And that’s basically it!

Innocent until proven guilty. Nobody should be in jail without a conviction.
Illinois does it right. No bail. Either you are released pending trial, or you see a judge where you may be held pending trial.
New York State has bail. Why this guy was released without even having to post bail is beyond me.
Bail is an abhorrent, very American, concept
In Brazil it use to be like bail system, but instead of paying you needed a college degree. It was stuck down like 4 years ago because the Supreme Court found it unconstitutional.
