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
Did you even read your comment before you posted it? "Let's have another self inflicted great depression because a pedophile wants to hide his crimes, and after the government murders enough of us in the street to make us mad, then let's do something about it." That type of attitude is why we are in this situation. It's honestly pathetic, but you do you.
The fact that some of you are so upset by reality is not my problem. Protest is one facet of resistance. It can't be the only one to be effective. You can pretend we live in some lala land where fascists are going to wake up one day and realize how wrong they are because of a great post on lemmly, but I live in the real world, and that's not how it works here.
Perhaps exercising a literal CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHT (2nd Amendment - you should look it up) offends you, but did you ever consider that was it was there for a reason? There are plenty of ways to respond forcefully and non-lethally short of your ridiculous example. Sometimes the threat of force is sufficient. Sometimes it isn't. Maybe we should explore those options as a country instead of burying our heads in the sand and pretending that it's all going to be fine. Shutting down the conversation because it makes you uncomfortable isn't helping anyone.
If we can’t organize a general strike, we can’t organize an armed resistance.
we are long pass a strike, simply because everyone is too in disarray to even organize that.
