Not The Onion

Welcome

We're not The Onion! Not affiliated with them in any way! Not operated by them in any way! All the news here is real!

The Rules

Posts must be:

  1. Links to news stories from...
  2. ...credible sources, with...
  3. ...their original headlines, that...
  4. ...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”

Comments must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.

And that’s basically it!

Yup. The esteemed justice system that brought you the gay panic defense and affluenza, because it's too much to expect that the actual law be honored when there's a chance to exercise cruelty.

Yeah, the “he’s too rich to be responsible for his own actions” defence was wild and I hate everyone involved in it almost as much as I hate the fact that it worked.
