People are going to lose their minds if a) this turns out not to be the guy and b) the assassin is just your regular run-of-the-mill mentally ill gun nut. Bonus points if he turns out to be some MAGA racist.
I think the "Deny, Defend, Depose" thing really lowered the chances of that being the case.
He doesn't give me gun nut vibes either...
The gun part feels a bit like an afterthought that he spent a couple nights googling on and then threw together. The fact that he's eluded capture for so long on the other hand suggests that's where he put all his effort. I'd bet he's probably an intelligence/cyber security/IT/SWE professional with an axe to grind and less to lose than he should.
Some heroes are also assholes and that's ok.
For example, Churchill kicked so much military and speechifying ass that hardly anyone remembers the rest of his personality or his domestic policy positions.
By all accounts, Che Guevara was an absolute monster as a person, but he was still a heroic freedom fighter as well.
And then there's the music of Smashing Pumpkins vs the politics and personality of Billy Corgan..
Oh god what did Billy corgan do
Not much, he's just a right-libertarian edgelord who thinks he knows everything about everything and everyone 🤷
Disappointing
