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, blogs, 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.
This kid:
White privilage on full display
I got arrested and charged with "aggravated assault" and nearly expelled for self-defence against a racist bully. I'm not white.
We need more white kids to use their privilage for good
2-days seems pretty average for fighting in my experience.
This kid has done more for his country than most of us here combined. Respect.
For me it was the little clap he did before swinging. Gets me every time.
I can't get enough of that either and while all the great memes do the lad justice, I can't help but feel we're all robbed by the way they don't capture the eager, self-satisfied "I can't wait to deliver this L", delicious, audible little clap 😭
book me for another 2 next wek
And a lifetime of cred.
Fucking legend.
Worth it
Punch a Nazi and get two days off of school. Sounds like a clear win.
Hero.
Feels weird to work in Zürich, Switzerland and see Lake Zürich every day, and then read about a random US highschool on the outskirts of Chicago being called "Lake Zurich High School"
I recently learned about this place called Paris... in Texas https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paris,_Texas
Wait til ya hear about all the many places and things in the US named after the literal tribes of humans who once lived in roughly that exact spot 😐
It's also the name of the lake at the center of the village in Illinois.
Makes sense why that would feel weird tho
If I was his parent I would’ve made those two days the best
I’d have a stern talking to the lad, while he’s eating the biggest wad of cotton candy on whatever mega-rollercoaster is closest to our house.
Sternly: "ya did great son and everyone loves you. Ya punched a budding Nazi and made it both entertaining and endearing, there's no PR firm on earth who can ever stir even a shadow of what you did".
AKA his school rewarded him with a trip to Disneyland-- or wherever is the equivalent for him. I hope he has fun and enjoys his celebrity. He earned it. Future leadership material right there. At least one kid was taught critical thinking skills.
I hope the kid is an reincarnation of this fellow.
I hope not too much, teddy was wildly racist against Native Americans
By the standards of US presidents it wasn't even that bad. More White Man's Burden than bounties for scalps.
Granted, Teddy was an imperialist bastard. However, he had many good qualities - such as confronting the Trusts of his time, risking his own flesh and blood in battle, creating the national parks, and genuine loyalty to America.
Ideally, this kid would embody the best traits of Teddy and ditch the nasty parts.
