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.

MODERATORS
It should be remembered that SEVERAL grand juries initially declined to charge the defendant, despite the ironic traditional reputation of grand juries to "indict a ham sandwich." But they kept going back. They were determined to destroy this citizen.
Obviously, they eventually prevailed, got the Sandwich Assassin into a courtroom, where the "victim" proceeded to blatantly lie in open court:
What fucking drama queen LIAR. He should be charged with perjury.
Also, the jurors had sandwiches for lunch. I'm surprised the Trump lawyers didn't try for a mistrial on the grounds that lunch was prejudicial.
I feel bad for the guy for losing a perfectly good sandwich.
Fucking ICE losers.
the horror...
That first paragraph, do you have a source for that?
I tried to find proof and all I could find was that the grand jury that was hearing it as a felony refused to indict, so the prosecutors went with a misdemeanor that doesn't require a grand jury indictment.
There were a few OTHER instances of grand juries refusing to indict other people accused on assaulting federal officers, but those were unrelated to the incident in question.
I'm not even sure it's legal (...not that legality matters to this regime, I know) to shop grand juries ... like that first paragraph implied, is it?
Here's the dumb AI synopsis, but it adds sources:
So they tried to indict him by Grand Jury three times, who rejected them. Then they downgraded the charge so they wouldn't need a Grand Jury, and then they lost that case, too.
It seemed like when it was all over, the jurors agreed that the ICE cop crying about getting hit with a sandwich in his bulletproof vest was big whiney baby who should just FUCK OFF!
They did succeed in firing him for it
Something tells me this guy was pretty fed up with his employer anyway. Probably figured if he was going to get DOGEd, it might as well be for a reason. I'd wear that shit like a badge of honor, literally. They altered the Banksy art to show a guy throwing a sandwich, and I would put that on a T-shirt, and wear it everywhere - "Look! That's ME!"
I own a business, and if that guy applied, I'd hire him instantly, even if he wasn't qualified. I can always train anybody (except 2, that's another story), but this guy is obviously a man of character, and that's always welcome in my world.
I agree completely.
Eventually we'll have a new administration. Would you be in favor of going after ICE agents and other bad actors from Trump's term? Or would that be unnecessary retribution?
We are in this position because we declined to go hard on Civil War traitors and Nazis. This time, we have to slam the lid so hard on these psychopaths, that whoever doesn't end up in prison, or executed, will slither bank under their slimy rocks and stay there.
And then we have to reconfigure our entire History and Social Studies curriculum to include the true history of the Right, with special emphasis on the Treason of MAGAs and the Republican responsibility for their rise. Even private schools should be forced to adopt that curriculum if they expect to remain open.
That way, when they try to emerge again in the future, we will recognize them for what scum they are, and brutalize them again until they decide that their rocks weren't so bad after all.
Because we didn't vote for Harris like we did Biden.
That's a short sighted answer. It's like saying we only got shot because we didn't dodge that last bullet. The real answer is that dodging bullets is not an effective long term strategy for not getting shot. We won't keep fascists out of power by winning every election.
