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.

Oh yeah, st. Louis, the shining bastion of how great a city can be. Get over yourself.
Not great over there. Rednecks for days. Awful race relations. Like, really bad.
A quick looky-loo at st Louis demographics on Wikipedia tells me there ain't very many rednecks over there. The fuck are you talking about?
Hey bud, St Louis is not a state.
Don't be butthurt. St Louis sucks ass, just fax. Don't think you know how to read anyway, much less a Wikipedia page.
Are you agreeing with me or not?
Now it's confirmed you can't read. Yay for our school system.
Look everyone, it's someone who has nothing intelligent, useful, or interesting to say, yet they still felt like joining in, so instead provided about the most useless, smooth-brained criticism possible.
Gotta love it when someone tries to rip on someone but instead just shows everyone they're a low-effort moron. 5/5 self own.
I don't get it, why are you upset at him saying St. Louis is bad but not upset at the guy saying the middle of Missouri is bad?
It's almost like you're biased or something.
Your comment doesn't make any sense as a response to my comment, so I think you responded to the wrong person.
Maybe you need to work on your reading comprehension, then.
I originally had a diatribe here about you and people like you, then I realized it made me just as bad. Worse even because I know better. To my defense, my father just died, so I'm an emotional wreck.
You misunderstood my original comment and I must have misunderstood your response. The difference is I was polite in my response to you while you were snarky, rude, and unhelpful. You didn't even try to explain what you meant because you don't care about conveying an actual message or being understood. Just like the guy I was originally calling out for being a dick (it had nothing to do with what was being said, simply how it was said), you're just looking for weaknesses to score hits on other people. It's classic bully behavior.
To be fair, I was snarky and extremely rude to the other guy, but I'm pushing back on his being an asshole. I guess I'm just tired of online bullies like you two.
You, sir, are a douchebag.
I get what you're saying here but this isn't the way to say it.
