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.

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.

Kirk gets shot and all the Republicrats: Political Assasination!1!1! 3 Dems get shot and one killed and the shooter has a hitlist: Meh…
Yeah curious to see how the suspect gets treated compared to the one who impersonated a cop and shot a politician in MN. That guy was let free on bail. Meanwhile, the Utah governor is already talking death penalty in this case. Double standards.
100%.
2 people arrested and released so far. Nobody in custody afaik.
Maybe they get a tip from somebody working at McDonald's.
Literally the GOPs are trying to make the bastard a martyr.
They are. Very quickly. And making up everything they can dig up under a rock to blame the dems for it.
Of course, they're working hard to kiss Trump's ass, this too is just another part of that
How DARE you try to politicize this tragedy. We need to focus on how obviously the leftists are all violent murderers right now, before we actually find out who did it in case the person turns out to be another unhinged MAGA with some sort of infighting driven motive and we have to pretend it never happened again.
Man, this is social media right now. The right’s troll hate farms are in full swing.
Heard this play out on NPR with them giving a right wing person a lot of platform to talk about how horrible it was for Charlie Kirk to be killed and what a good guy he was and the good things he did.
Despite getting a more than fair opportunity to present this viewpoint, they didn't really inject anything vaguely tricky until he went off on political violence from the left. The interviewer then said something like "and of course you would condemn such violence regardless of political leaning". He said sure, but only the left is really such a concern. Then she brought up the killings of those democrats and the hit list and he just lost it at how just terrible she was being. Dude you got every bit of an opportunity to be sympathetic and all you had to do was refrain from blindly accusing all left leaning folks...
State a wild argument attacking a group, when countered with facts, play the victim and act like you’re being attacked. This is how they operate.
