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.

You sound vengeful. I just want it to stop. We are not the same
In all seriousness, I wish there were a way to properly put someone like Elon through rehabilitation into mainstream society as a well-adjusted adult able to contribute meaningfully to society.
As things are, I doubt he'll even learn some mild lesson that most kids internalized by the time they were out of kindergarten.
I realize that he was beaten within an inch of his life in his youth. He should not take that out on the world.
I think an example beds to be made. Ideally that's a great result. These are not reaaonal or rational people that sought out Epstein's service to be able to fuck kids and whatever else they got up to. They have caused unfathomable harm in the last few years alone. It's too late.
It's time for something akin to the Nuremberg trials, only without rampant face saving and blatant opportunism of offering a place for the "useful" monsters that took part in this. There is nothing they can learn if they don't understand by this point. What is there to save? They fucked up waaaay beyond forgiveness and don't deserve any further empathy. It's a weakness to many of them anyway by their own admission if not actions. The weekend will be better off without them and that is justice for those they have killed abused assaulted tortured.
These are the worst of us. A cancer that should be removed. But we need honest justice and not mob justice. I don't know who that is. The world is cooked
Yeah, what I really wish for is probably way off, if indeed even possible. I think I was quite intrigued by the ideas in the book Queen of Angels, most especially the idea of The Country of the Mind, in which they use tech to conduct therapy on people.
We could use a whole lot of that right now. However, I think even if that tech were to come online, right now it would be in the hands of those that would most need to be therapied...irony of ironies.
Tech is NOT a salvation. We need people who think. Aren't afraid to be challenged. Anf challenge others in turn. Unfortunately we have never figured these things out at scale. It only takes a small group to corrupt anything too large
