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.
- Blogsites are treated in the same manner as social media sites. Medium, Blogger, Substack, etc. are not valid news links regardless of who is posting them. Yes, legitimate news sites use Blogging platforms, they also use Twitter, Facebook, and YouTube and we don't allow those links either.
-
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.

So in your opinion if a prison guard beat up and maybe even killed an intimate that would totally be justified as long as the inmate was shouting verbal abuse at them beforehand? What kind of fucked up logic is that? If a prison guard can't take verbal abuse they're in the wrong job.
Physically attacking someone simply because they're shouting abuse at you is never a measured response and prison guards especially should be held to a higher standard than that.
It doesn't matter if "these people hate when they are not respected", neither police officers nor prison guards can hit people whenever they feel like it.
Of course and I agree with how it should be.
However, in the real world, that is often how it is. I dont support that behavior but I also dont think its reasonable to ignore reality completely and act surprised when the obvious happens.
This is strategy on her part, thats all it is, and you guys are thinking she is victim of abuse.
Whst reality. You are saying stuffs with no proofs
I'm glad we're on the same page on that at least.
Of course it's a strategy. This is literally her job, putting herself in situations like that to shine a light on it. That's what activists do. It's on the rest of us to do decide whether it's worth doing something about to combat those issues the activists are highlighting or deciding that we don't care.
Just because she put herself in that situation on purpose doesn't mean she's not a victim.i don't think she particularly enjoys getting beaten. I'm pretty sure she would've preferred if the Israelis had let the ships pass but they all knew this wasn't just a risk but the likely outcome.
Exactly zero people are surprised that's how this whole thing ended.
