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.

MODERATORS
The shooter was clearly driven to violence by socioeconomic hardship
Also, the gun had nothing to do with it. It was because our country does nothing about the mental health crisis.
What? Government subsidized mental health care? What are you, a commie?
You think you’re clever but you’re just an asshole. Keep defending fucking nazi terrorists, scum.
It's a joke on how white mass shooters are portrayed as victims of society instead of as terrorists
I mean... aren't they both?
There are millions of poor people that don't commit hate crimes or terrorism.
Well was it a black cat?
Yes yes we're all tragedies of pseudo-random determism, 7 billion products of our environment, very sad much insight.
That's why you have to put down the rabid dogs humanely.
Yes, but thats's removing responsibility on the perpetrator's part, and we obviously can't do that. We're assumed to be responsible for our actions.
We can hold someone responsible for their own actions while still acknowledging that people are a product of their own environment and try to study and address the underlying societal/economic conditions that led to these situations occurring in the first place.
Yea I completely agree
No, it’s very clearly a “joke” about how the left oftentimes attributes crime in urban areas to socioeconomic conditions.
The original commenter here is simultaneously making light of a right-wing shooter with racist manifestos and also making fun of the left.
Nothing has gone over my head.
Im 100% certain something has gone over your head
Insects, birds, planes, clouds, celestial bodies
I took it the same way they did. I thought they were mocking the left.
They are mocking the left, just look at their other comments.
That's a funny troll result at least. Good for them.
c/whooosh
No. The intent of the commenter’s comment is very clear to me and I guarantee he’s laughing at the fact his comment was upvoted while mine was downvoted.
Check his comment history. He’s a right-wing troll.
