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 right or left wing sources will be removed at the mods discretion. We have an actively updated blocklist, which you can see here: https://lemmy.world/post/2246130 if you feel like any website is missing, contact the mods. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted seperately but not to the post body.
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.
Posts which titles don’t match the source won’t be removed, but the autoMod will notify you, and if your title misrepresents the original article, the post will be deleted. If the site changed their headline, the bot might still contact you, just ignore it, we won’t delete your post.
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 or celebrity gossip is allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis.
7. No duplicate posts.
If a source you used was already posted by someone else, the autoMod will leave a message. Please remove your post if the autoMod is correct. 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.
The auto mod will contact you if a link shortener is detected, please delete your post if they are right.
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.

I hope the snitch gets found out too
Um... lets not target someone who is potentially just unwittingly being a useful idiot.
Not everyone understands the entire situation, given how much propaganda the media has to make people sympathize with this mass murderer CEO. Whoever gave the tip is an idiot, and should be ashamed of themselves, but lets not incite violence against them, they are just a victim of propaganda.
Nah man, zero tolerance for snitching. Period.
To elaborate:
cops are allowed to lie to you if they think it'll help their investigation. You can't trust a word they say.
You have no idea how information you give will be used or who it will be used against.
mind your own fucking business
Snitches get stitches.
-1) think you'll get a nice $50k reward for selling out a guy, then find out you didn't do enough to actually qualify for it.
Some policeman's brother happened to call in the tip an hour before conveniently along the same roadway and gets it instead.
No, Lemmy will crucify that person even if they had no clue about the situation at all.
Lemmy is all in on inciting violence
Edit clarification, I agree with you.
Mob mentality is not limited to Lemmy
Of course, but we are here on Lemmy. When you say "let's not..." On Lemmy, you're addressing Lemmy
If you want to participate in threads where half the comments are deleted, go back to reddit.
We aren't inciting violence, the fat cats and their bottomless greed are.
Huh? A random person, who may not have known the news or reasoning, may be the target of the Internet's ire. That hypothetical sucks, and is all I'm discussing. Sure, they possibly did know the story, but remember millions of people are far less online/news attached than most here.
Edit be mad at ceos all you want, I'm not discussing that here. I'm discussing the potential person who spotted the person of interest
