Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! 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.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!

They could read every single one of their names and not a god damned thing will happen

That's old school thinking. The question is, if someone kills them, will anyone stick out their neck to try and punish someone who kills a child rapist?

The paradigm has shifted. We are all guilty until proven innocent, which is why the left needs to go hard and go all the way.

Make the rich beg for the old paradigm of innocent until proven guilty. Exterminate them all, then grant their last wish

The elite are going after Luigi Mangione pretty hard, and there isn't even good evidence that he killed anyone.

[–] ViceroTempus@lemmy.world 3 points 1 hour ago

Which shows you what they are afraid of.

[–] Grimy@lemmy.world 1 points 1 hour ago

This could mean that the evidence is lacking or that you don't see Brian Thompson as a person. Both are okay.

This is exactly what needs to happen. They don't want to follow the rules, why should we?

“The wheels of justice turn slow.”

Well the wheels of fascism turn fast and this isn’t exactly a tortoise and hare situation.

They can do their crimes in front of everyone to see and film and nothing will happen to them. What a fucking joke of a world.
