~~shooter~~
suspect

Funny that they don’t take this approach with mass shooters.

I’m tired of seeing it too. Every time I catch a glimpse I have to swap panties

Its a good thing all the merch and swag featuring him is exploding in popularity. Manufactured goddamn consent fucking denied, assholes :)

here we have a rule that nobody publishes the name or face of people suspected of crimes. it's allegedly "not newsworthy". they all get called "the 35-year old", "the carpenter", "the third man", until court proceedings are through and they are convicted.

unfortunately, influence from overseas and people's seemingly rising bloodthirst seems to be changing that.

I’m assuming “here” is somewhere other than USA. Your system sounds better for protecting the integrity of court proceedings…

He's on the Niue instance. The ones with the piss flag

🇳🇺

yeah, classic bit of cyber-colonialist history behind that tld. it's managed by the IIS.

[–] Flax_vert@feddit.uk 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

That's... Actually really messed up. Considering that Tuvalu was able to make a huge profit selling it's .tv domains. Nothing wrong with .nu domains going to Scandinavian sites, but at least let Niue keep the money

[–] lime@feddit.nu 1 points 1 year ago

well... they do get some of it.

Niue gave away their rights to a company, which passed those rights on to the IIS without Niue getting to do a vote. i think they got some official to sign off on it but it was never a matter for the assembly there. they originally gave the rights in exchange for the company building out internet infrastructure on Niue with the proceeds, and that has been done.

Niue also agree they should not be the registrar for the TLD, since they don't have the capacity. so the IIS does do some of the work which needs money. the main issue in the suit is one of "transfer of consent" or something.

I think it's relatively common in EU, unless the suspect has already been somehow outed, or has gone public. But typically, suspects and victims aren't named.

[–] LucidNightmare@lemm.ee 36 points 1 year ago

Funny how they never mind sharing every minuscule detail of school shooters. Hmm.

The line between the people and the corporate/political elites is getting more defined and visible every day. I hope people notice.

The contradictions of Capitalist system cannot be hidden anymore

Do they not want people to compare his eyebrow to the eyebrows in the surveillance photo?

[–] jol@discuss.tchncs.de 25 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Isn't it because we don't even know yet if it was him?

[–] underisk@lemmy.ml 31 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (2 children)

It’s because people are thirsting for him and it’s not the response they wanted. Attractive people are sympathetic.

[–] jol@discuss.tchncs.de 8 points 1 year ago

I do wonder if it would be same if he was ugly. I do admit him being hot makes me lean to his side, although I was alteady defending his ideals before the Internet revealed his shirtless pics.

[–] spireghost@lemmy.zip 1 points 1 year ago

Read. the. article.

ken klippenstein has done some good journalism

Imperial mouthpiece gonna imperial mouthpiece.

Besides the New York Times' inflated view of its ability to de-amplify a crime that practically everyone is already talking about, the internal chat sheds light on the other arguably bigger reason the media shies away from disclosure: its fear of antagonizing the sources it relies upon for scoops. "My source asked last nite that we not publish the whole thing," reporter Andy Newman wrote in the Times chat.

Thought after I read that: "When have they not done that?

[–] surph_ninja@lemmy.world 13 points 1 year ago

They’re afraid. Good.

[–] CrabAndBroom@lemmy.ml 6 points 1 year ago

They should probably have a word to the prison he's being held in then TBH. It's like Paris Fashion Week over there with the amount of photos of him they're taking.

This is the genius who left his plans in his browser history.

Everyone lacks common sense here.
