United Kingdom
General community for news/discussion in the UK.
Less serious posts should go in [email protected] or [email protected]
More serious politics should go in [email protected].
Try not to spam the same link to multiple feddit.uk communities.
Pick the most appropriate, and put it there.
Posts should be related to UK-centric news, and should be either a link to a reputable source, or a text post on this community.
Opinion pieces are also allowed, provided they are not misleading/misrepresented/drivel, and have proper sources.
If you think "reputable news source" needs some definition, by all means start a meta thread.
Posts should be manually submitted, not by bot. Link titles should not be editorialised.
Disappointing comments will generally be left to fester in ratio, outright horrible comments will be removed.
Message the mods if you feel something really should be removed, or if a user seems to have a pattern of awful comments.

It doesn't seem unreasonable to investigate. If someone slashes a person's throat, they probably shouldn't get away with it without question just because it was in the middle of a sporting match. I assume the arrest means they've identified some kind of intent.
An arrest for manslaughter actually means there was no intent. Intent would change it to murder.
It only means there was no intent to murder. If there was intent to do harm, but that harm results in death, it would fall under manslaughter.
It could also be the case that it's just deemed to be grossly negligent or reckless behaviour, but that seems much harder to pin down, especially in a professional sports setting.
