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.

MODERATORS
I did but I missed the change in kids. How 'bout you learn some interpersonal skills? Rude, rude person. Shame.
...?
Dismissive and rude. Politeness isn't a crime, feel free to utilize it.
You implied you only read the article summary in the post (since that's what you used as your reference), and were missing key info that you then made a conclusion based on. I replied with the correct info (at least, according to the article).
I guess I could have been more gentle, but it's extremely common for people not to read articles they comment on, which is pretty rude and seemed to be the case here.
So I apologize if I came across brisk, although boy, if you're going to be this sensitive on the Internet you're going to be fighting about it at some point in almost any discussion.
I went back to the source and read it to check, but still just missed the part where it said the one who got shot wasn't the first kid. It happens.
And I could've just called you a cunt and moved on, but admonishment seemed to be the correct course. Though I see you've elected to continue by insinuating me calling you out is "being sensitive" and so I see now I should've just chose the "manly" option of insulting you back. My mistake. I forget half the people here are not adults.
Why would you call me anything...?
Whatever has you so worked up and aggressive, I hope it gets better for you.
I called you rude for being rude, you insinuated this was somehow sensitivity, perhaps I should have been "stronger" and simply been rude to you back.
Perhaps the above rephrasing will aide your ability to understand. I'm not being aggressive, if anything I'm being defensive lol, you're the one who engaged with my comment and chose to do so in a smug way, frankly I'd prefer you never even bothered myself, so it seems we agree on something: this is a waste of both of our times. Good day.
Weird.
