[QUOTE][B]Tupelo, Miss.[/B] The Tupelo mayor's office says that police Corporal Gale Stauffer has died after a shooting earlier Monday after being shot by a heavily armed suspect after a bank robbery. Another officer was also shot during the robbery and remains in critical and guarded condition. [/QUOTE] [url]www.wtok.com/news/headlines/Officers-Shot-after-Tupelo-Bank-Robbery-237095331.html[/url] I just heard the news a few hours ago. I live close to were this happened.
He played too much GTA V
Just the fact that this happened near where you live doesn't make this newsworthy, at least for Facepunch. Robbery and murder are common, especially in America. This single incident isn't of much importance or relevance to the world by itself, although it's part of a greater problem that is. I usually expect SH articles to be of importance to the world, or at least a country.

[QUOTE=LoganIsAwesome;43291942]Hur dur, Nelson Mandela died so it isn't newsworthy cause death is common.[/QUOTE] You're completely missing the point. Nelson Mandela was a world-renowned figure. This was just a typical shooting, something you'd expect to see in the local news. I always found it strange that such local-news-like articles get posted in this subforum.

[QUOTE=LoganIsAwesome;43291987]Death is death, dude.[/QUOTE] It is. I just find it inappropriate to post stories that are only of local importance to a worldwide place like Facepunch. That's really all I got to say.
I thought Michael and the crew already did "The Big One"?

If you want that go find it on your own. Reuters and BBC have plenty of world news to read. I'm sure local news is to be posted with discretion. The sections probably doesnt need news about a local death, bake sale, or community events, but bigger things like bank robberies are probably ok
-removed just bandwagoning, nothing to see

[QUOTE=elevate;43291999]It is. I just find it inappropriate to post stories that are only of local importance to a worldwide place like Facepunch.

[QUOTE=FLIPPY;43300164]So if a family member or friend happened to be in a bank in your area, and it was robbed and he or she died, you wouldn't post it?[/QUOTE] I wouldnt, unless it was some insane bank robbery. Then it would be good enough for world audience.

It was only on local news too. Just because you don't find it interesting, doesn't mean everyone does.
[QUOTE=FLIPPY;43300164]So if a family member or friend happened to be in a bank in your area, and it was robbed and he or she died, you wouldn't post it?[/QUOTE] That's right. I wouldn't post it, not to mention the fact that a bunch of strangers don't need to know what's going on with my life. Just because it happened to you doesn't make it noteworthy to everyone else.
