No such thing. Ask away!
!nostupidquestions is a community dedicated to being helpful and answering each others' questions on various topics.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.
All posts must be legitimate questions, and all post titles must include a question. Questions that are joke or trolling questions, memes, song lyrics as title, etc. are not allowed here. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.
Rule 2- Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.
Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.
If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.
Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.
If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here. This includes using AI responses and summaries.

yes, of course. and found not guilty, to send a message.
What murderer? He fell on lead because he was high on prescription drugs.
For the social agreement society has, it's irrelevant if you think this person is a hero or a villain, they need to be tried by a jury of their peers in a court of law.
If they are not, then the social agreement that we don't go around murdering people, no matter the intent changes and life becomes very difficult.
That social agreement had been broken long ago by the elites like the one recently targeted. It's funny that only now when someone finally responds in kind that it is suddenly so important.
That social agreement is broken because of us, we successively vote corruption into power on both sides and wonder why the system never changes..
The politicians are not the elites in charge. No one gets to vote on the oligarchs killing and plundering the rest of us. There is no agreement that can be had with them so there is nothing to break. The only thing left to do is remove them and water the tree of liberty.
I'll end this here as I can see your not wanting to discuss. Only reply..
I'm not sure what you think a discussion is if I'm not allowed to reply.

This is the correct answer. This was my position on Snowden and Assange as well.
One of the things that made King such a powerful foil to the status quo was his willingness to submit to the legal system. It put it in everyone's faces, what was going on in America.
This guy should turn himself in very publicly and go to trial so he can be acquitted by a jury.
(I believe he should be tried but he definitely shouldn't be convicted or punished.)
And while I fully understand the last statement. This is why it's a jury of his peers.

I would buy him a coffee
I hope they never get the chance
How do we get him to do it again?
It is day 4 and half of the reddit front page is still dunking on this parasite.
I think the society is handing out a blank check to anyone willing to take the risk.
But so far these parasites didn't get the message... We are hearing is about them spend more money on security for which we will pay with each insurance premium
IE zero reflection on why this happened
As IRA said tho... They only need to be right once, UK regime whores had to be right every time
This is as much psychological as physical war.
The adjustor did the hard labour while society is doing the psychological assault.
Parasite and owner classes need to understand that nobody cares when they die.
Didn't see nothing man🐸
Hell no. I hope they never find them. Just let it stand. The one who got away.
I feel like American justice was predicated upon letting one get away sometimes over getting innocent men thrown in jail and that we all forgot that over the last several decades.
No, because I don't see any point to it. If they manage to catch him, they may as well just kill him on the spot when they get him, as I have no faith that his trial would be anything more than a farce to try and present some sense of following process and norms, while guaranteeing he gets some insane sentence, only to be found mysteriously to have hung himself. I'm sure that, somehow, a jury of his peers will be comprised solely of the 12 most ghoulish residents of NYC one could find, and they'll probably try to shop around for the worst judge they can to hear the whole thing.
They will find 12 ceos for the jury 🤡
You gotta weigh the decision, on one hand he shot and killed one person, on the other hand the dude he killed was allowing sick people to die unnecessary deaths so he could get his bonus.
So it's a big old fat no from me, that's a greater good scenario.
ITT: Nobody understands the difference between being prosecuted and convicted.
He should absolutely be prosecuted, he murdered someone. Should he be convicted of this murder? Fuck no, and I actually think a jury might agree with me.
Depends on the justice system and if I respect it. If the justice system isn't prosecuting the people responsible for deaths nation wide due to lack of prosecution, it cannot be respected. Specially given the state of the Supreme Court and the government.
Do you want the murderer of the UnitHealthcare CEO prosecuted?
Nope. Killing a billionaire parasite doesn't make one a murderer - it merely makes one a credit to the human race.
P.S. this topic is highly controversial
Not really.
