Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF OCTOBER 19 2025
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. 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.
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.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
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.

MODERATORS
No. You're adults and leaders. You can be angry but your response should be rational, not emotional.
I think the rational response to most of the stuff Farage says is rage.
The rational solution is to execute the murderer, jail the family for a long time for obstruction of justice and when their sentences are up deport them.
The police who cuffed a dying man should be jailed for negligent manslaughter.
Gonna have to stop you right there
I assume you don’t agree with the death penalty in this case as well:

His guilt is beyond any doubt and a bullet is cheap.
There is zero reason to house and feed him.
He should be executed and his rotten family should pick up the bill.
Careful with that edge, you may injure someone with it.
You think the death penalty is edgy? It has been used for thousands of years across numerous societies.
And hasn't solved a thing
It solves the need to feed, house, and guard murderous scum.
In cases where there is zero doubt a person is a murderer it should be used.
There have been numerous cases where racists have had "zero doubt" that a black person has done a crime.
You keep making the wording on that "zero doubt murder" bill more air-tight, and I'll tell you when it's acceptable, Sisyphus.
It does reduce the amount of people to feed and house, but the right to life and the right to be innocent before proven guilty both hold. Cops being the judge, jury and executioner is inherently unreliable, and human beings inherently have biases based on thousands of factors, so there WILL be officers stating “oh nah they attacked me” without the attack actually happening and their life being taken just because the officer has a racist or biased interpretation of their behaviour.
Also, seeming that you’re from aussie.zone, it appears you are of course an Aussie like me, so you should have already caught that we are multicultural, and we are going through a tough time of the public discriminating against itself. Extrajudicial killings by law enforcement will amplify this.
I don’t recall saying the trial should be skipped
True, that’s on me, however it still stands, as police have a tendency to ‘retaliate’ in situations that don't endanger them, so both human error and discriminatory bias are still significant.
Rape as a punishment has been also, do you want to do that to him as well?
Don’t be ridiculous, I’m not a zionist.
Ah yes, the sharia way, nice.
Show me which part of that is Sharia law.
Death for death.
Bzzzzzt wrong! The answer to killing under Sharia law is Diyah or blood money.
Thanks for playing.
How about you look up Qisas smartass
Literally every punishment I said is practiced under Western law so go huff more paint or whatever it is you losers do.
Um, what part of the word "Sikh" made you think of sharia?
Now, as for the killer, he got the highest punishment a reasonable country gives: life in prison.
Beyond that, it regularly starts happening that people who aren't guilty get executed. It's very hard to write a law describing when a murder is "clear enough". Nobody has managed so far. All the countries which sentence people to death sometimes execute people who aren't guilty.
Just to be clear, i absolutely do not support sharia law or the death penalty in general for the exact reasons you stated. It's just dumbasses like the other guy who complain, that we "Import sharia" and then basically demand the same fucking thing.
Go back and read who brought up Sharia.
It wasn’t me champ.
Oops, sorry - reading in a hurry is a great way to make mistakes.
