Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! 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.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

MODERATORS
They weren’t involved in the killing, they are guilty of pointing him out.
So they were responsible for it
Yes, they are responsible for pointing, not killing, glad you understand now.
Which part of “helped monitor his exit” did you not get? They stalked him with the intent to assist the assassination. By your logic, many people aren’t actually criminals because they’re not the ones who actually carried out the murder, they just directed it.
I’m not saying they should get the death penalty but what they did was heinous and deserves more than 2.5 years.
And yet, still they are not responsible for killing and beheading him, the adult who did it is.
Nowhere does it state your xenophobic assumptions about how you feel over the event.
For all they knew he was going to simply speak with the teacher, or maybe kick his ass.
Tell me, why do you assume so freely that all of the Muslim kids were deeply involved in the beheading itself? I find that very interesting…
We hung nazis that didn't directly kill anyone
Did we?
The only source I can find on such a thing is post Nuremberg trials, and it was ten nazi generals that definitely deserved it.
I did find a source for 23,000 out of 35,000 deserting Nazis were killed by their own party for fleeing war, so maybe you were thinking of that while being a nazi?
The point is that you do not actually need to have killed anyone yourself for you to get the most severe punishment available. If they're a fascist, put them before a court and let them be judged. But there's a problem. The people are not yet antagonized against fascism enough. Too many people are accepting or indifferent of it.
That…and the fact they are like 14 and not fascists, but yeah, other than that nothing you say is crazy at all!
So people shouldn't be opposed to fascism? Seems more like you're the 14 year old and have watched too much Shen Babipo
Oh no they should, they should just make sure the kids they want to label as such and then justify their punishment boner with are actually fascists and not just dumb kids.
Nice bait though!
Where did I say they were directly involved in the beheading? I know xenophobic is a big word for you but you should still look up the definition before just tossing it around like that.
You speak of me needing to improve my literacy and yet you’re the one confusing deeply involved with directly.
Unless you’re just backpedaling and attempting to obfuscate the point, now.
Yes but there's still limits on how long you can put minors in prison for certain things
Which is fair but 2.5 years seems pretty short for a religious beheading
They are getting 2.5 years for pointing out the teacher, not for beheading.
Correct
So children should go to jail for more than 2.5 years for pointing out a teacher?
Yes. When they’ve committed premeditated criminal conspiracy and that criminal act is premeditated religious assassination.
I see you're privy to some information that the media doesn't have, everywhere says he wanted to know where that teacher was to scare him. Where did you gather the information from that they were co-conspirators fully aware of the plan?
Well I’m not a lawyer but what does “premeditated criminal conspiracy” mean to you? If it was just pointing at someone why were they charged at all?
Dont worry, don't need to reiterate it, everyone knows you're not a lawyer.
So? They are still responsible for his death
How so?
If you play by felony murder rules, they’re just as guilty since they participated in the planning and actively participated (by waiting for / stalking the victim and pointing him out to their co-conspirator).
In some places if you help plan and participate in a crime that results in a death you’re equally culpable of the murder - even if you weren’t in the same room as the killing. Escape car drivers frequently get death row for a murder that happened in the course of the crime.
The dude showed up at their school and found some 14 year olds that would tell him who the teacher was for money.
He also told them he was just going to make the teacher apologize, not cut his fucking head off, my guy.
Slow your roll with sticking some tricked dumb kids to prison for life over some shit they had no control over to begin with.
