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, 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.
"I turned myself over to my own team who now allow prostitutes and animal rapists in their ranks."
To be clear, if you told me a decade ago I'd be unironically typing that sentence I would have called the police on you assuming you escaped from an asylum. But here we are.
Prostitutes are cool. Sex work is work.
People that harm, traffic, and steal from prostitutes are the real issue there.
Neat. Keep him in custody this time and let Minnesota have him. If not immediately, then after this case plays out.
I hope they deport him to CECOT
Probably EPCOT.
Could this be a scheme to protect him via double jeopardy?
He's not being charged for the shooting here, just the lying. I don't know how they'd swing it as a double jeopardy issue except for the "blatant corruption" play.
Unlike New York, Minnesota can prosecute for the same act as the feds. This wouldn't implicate state level double jeopardy protections.
Does double jeopardy work differently in different states? That's quite confusing...
New York specifically has a law barring the state from prosecuting crimes that the Feds have already prosecuted. Other states don’t have that law, so other states could prosecute him at the state level.
New York has some funky double jeopardy rules that are surpringly quite protective of the defendants.
And the feds say "Naughty person, don't do it again! Now shoo!"
