Woah woah woah, slow it down, we don't know if it was murder yet. For all we know it was self defence.
I'm not sure what your point is. That's why there's a trial. A murder trial. To decide if he's guilty. Nothing in the story claims otherwise. In fact, they go out of their way to point out that he has only been accused, not convicted.
Or someone different.
Exactly. The media—and people as a whole—need to stop automatically assuming he's the killer. Even those who support him are still acting like he's the one who did it. What happened to innocent until proven guilty?
People generally don't have time to whittle words about their attackers profession onto bullet casings in a shootout, and fabricating untraceable firearms generally isn't something rich people do for self defence.
Yes, but who has the time to do that when they're playing Battletech at the same time as the murder? Which he totally was with me at that exact moment.
Yes but no matter how obvious you think guilt is, eveyone has to go through a trial. Cops aren’t the judges or executioners.
That's merely your understanding of self defence.
Other people like those in the jury may have a different understanding - and their understanding is more important here.
Lmao
Have fun in fairyland
I didn't predict how it'd end, just what counts.
Have fun in defeatistland.
Don't let these fools crush your dreams of world where regular jackoffs like you and me watch out for each other. I got your back on this one fam
I won't, but it's always good knowing we're not alone and on the right side.
Thank you! I've got yours!
Innocent until proven guilty!
