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.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious right or left wing sources will be removed at the mods discretion. We have an actively updated blocklist, which you can see here: https://lemmy.world/post/2246130 if you feel like any website is missing, contact the mods. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted seperately but not to the post body.
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.
Posts which titles don’t match the source won’t be removed, but the autoMod will notify you, and if your title misrepresents the original article, the post will be deleted. If the site changed their headline, the bot might still contact you, just ignore it, we won’t delete your post.
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 or celebrity gossip is allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis.
7. No duplicate posts.
If a source you used was already posted by someone else, the autoMod will leave a message. Please remove your post if the autoMod is correct. 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.
The auto mod will contact you if a link shortener is detected, please delete your post if they are right.
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.

Have you ever tried not constantly belittling and disparaging the people you're trying to debate? Like, I literally don't give a shit what you have you to say about anything if your going to say it like that, you can't get through one single sentence without making the most inflammatory assumptions you can think of. It doesn't invite a very open dialogue. Unless your just a troll, then I guess it invites the perfect dialogue...
Most of you people never argue in good faith and are just looking to farm upvotes.
Calling it "state-sanctioned murder" immediately wrote you off as unreasonable and irrational.
Then what the fuck is it? It's not justice. You have to be alive to receive state justice for crimes committed.
It's the death penalty.
"Murder is the unlawful killing of another human without justification or valid excuse committed with the necessary intention as defined by the law in a specific jurisdiction."

You should really brush up on your vocabulary and reading comprehension before thinking you have a point and swearing at me.
Thanks for proving my point.

Keep improving your vocabulary.

unlawful adjective un·law·ful ˌən-ˈlȯ-fəl Synonyms of unlawful 1 : not lawful : illegal 2
not morally right or conventional
Morals vary from person to person.
This is more applicable, which is why every definition includes it while you had to cherry-pick for one that doesn't.
Keep doubling-down on being wrong, lol.
This is you:
This is also you:
Don't talk to me about good faith arguments and then literally immediately try to poison the well, hahaha, nice try troll
