    we don’t know it’s him stop doing the cops work for them spinning the narrative remember luigi mangione they were obviously framed cause they just needed to shut things up and yet everyone went along with it just cause he’s hot and it’s funny you think they wouldn’t do it again don’t treat this person as definitely the killer the cops say they are that doesn’t mean they are

      On one hand, you’re right.

      On the other, this guy makes for a wonderful scapegoat to deflect all the bigots blaming minorities. I don’t think public discourse has much of a bearing on his judicial fate, but it does have a bearing on public opinion on related topics. If blaming him gets the fash to shut their hateful gobs for once, I think that’s an acceptable sacrifice.

      He’s a politically convenient suspect, but this time it’s for our convenience, and in this world, I see no reason to play by the rules of justice and truth if our enemy doesn’t obey them either.

      Besides, I find it hard to feel sorry for a gun nut if they get charged with gun crimes.

      We have a named suspect and we know the rhetoric of “The Left wants violence” and “violent Trans” suddenly disappeared.
