Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. 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.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. 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.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

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.

That's all the rules!

Big news but still no charges against the murderer.

[–] BassTurd@lemmy.world 14 points 1 month ago (2 children)

There won't ever be federal charges. For state charges, my understanding is that state officials are being blocked out. I suppose they could out out a warrant for his arrest, which imo would be great, but I'm not in the fold, so there may be logistical reasons why they haven't. IANAL and all that.

I believe they were locked out of the federal investigation but eventually confirmed they are continuing to do their own state investigation (announced Friday).

Generally, state agencies are not allowed to operate outside their respective states. Like they can’t just go to another state and arrest the guy.

If they fled to, say Florida or Texas, and Minnesota wants them they file a warrant and maybe ask the Feebs to execute it; or they ask the state that’s harboring them.

But no one has any particular obligation to do so- especially if, as is the case for trans procedures and affirming care out of state, it’s not a crime in the harboring state.

Well luckily for them the guy lives in the state.

He hasn’t been home since the shooting.

Can’t blame him, really. He’s pretty much the most hated person in the state at the moment. Him and the family left, it seems.

Bet that’s gonna end in divorce…

Or the Epstein files

Fucking just abduct them right back, these people do not care about any polite society, there's no reason to treat them as such either

What would happen if a state's police started arresting ICE? Real question.

[–] FenrirIII@lemmy.world 5 points 1 month ago

And pigs fly. The cops are in on it.

[–] explodicle@sh.itjust.works 4 points 1 month ago

Every other state would copy whatever the fuck they did to make cops start working for voters.

[–] FreshParsnip@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 month ago

I don't know, but I wanna find out

[–] ReHomed@lemmy.cafe 1 points 1 month ago

Don't give me hope
