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.

17 years for OrangeLeader, who likely doesn't even know who Joe Biggs is. He'll be 55 years old when released (assuming full term).
And hopefully never allowed to own a gun, vote or have internet access
Somehow I doubt the guys convicted for trying to overthrow the government are real big on following laws.
Who knows, maybe 17 years in the slammer will change that?
Or just give them more racist connections.
Did Joe Biggs ever regret listening to Trump's lies? Has he said anything?
He's an asshole. And he is sorry; sorry that he got caught. He's sick of it now, but wasn't then. He makes no statement about the victims of his violence. He makes no statements about the millions of nameless victims whose votes he wanted overturned.
Even if he had said he regretted acting on Trump's lies, it wouldn't mean a thing. He is just upset he got caught and punished. He's an asshole.
“I’m sick and tired of left versus right”
He hasn’t learned a thing. This is not a “left versus right” thing.
He’s in effect saying: “In the fight between democracy and justice versus fascism and tyranny, I simply want to say both sides are bad and go to my daughter’s PTA meetings to force my backwards views on children.”
Here’s hoping he can be reformed but if not, rot in prison dickhead.
It's how entitled people deal with consequences when consequences finally hit them.
He’d turn that PTA into a racist shithole given the chance.
Fun fact: some of these dinks are going back on their regret statements, claiming they were a strategy to avoid heavy fines or jail or some such. What they don't know is that this claim then opens them to re-prosecution for the same offenses they may have been acquitted of 😏
"...the last event with the Proud Boys" Joe B.
This statement seems odd to me. Like he was doing something bad and so far hasn't got caught. Anyone know what he ment by that?
I hope once or if, Trump is in jail Trump loses his influence over his cult. Trump has used and discarded so many people. In Trump's world only Trump matters.
Right? It's like the career criminal doing one more robbery. They tell themselves it'll be the last time they do it because they know it's wrong. Except it's not the last time. They'll do another later on and call that one the last time. And again and again.
Idk what he meant by it, but he ended up being right.. he’s certainly not doing anything with them from prison :)
