They're more afraid of MAGA than they're afraid of ordinary citizens. Nothing will change until it's the other way around.

You know what, at this point I'm starting to believe United Healthcare's CEO wasn't even killed, it's a setup. Think about it: the guy was divorced, probably with large sums to pay each month for his ex-wife and children who didn't like him. He made decisions that killed people, he knew about growing anti-healtcare / anti-billionaire sentiment in the US and felt his life was at risk. What better plan than faking your own death, especially in a high profile case like this when you're guaranteed that NYPD would frame someone who would take all the attention away from you while you're quietly fleeing the country. 4d chess right there.

I agree with your point, I'm not really convinced he's the shooter but the general feeling I have, from my limited knowledge of how the police, the judicial system and murderers work, the pictures that everyone saw and all, is that there's a real possibility he's the shooter. But of course we have to let the courts decide.

I'm just tired of everyone saying he didn't do it based on nothing more than anecdotal evidence and a general hatred for anything that looks like a cop.

I'm old enough to have known a time when online discussion was mostly rational and respectful, and it bothers me how it has slowly become so polarized and emotional.

And what's that reason?

I saw a lot of comments saying Luigi didn't do it, but no convincing argument. Personally I think he shot the guy (but I'm open to change my mind) and that he's some kind of hero for it.

If I understand the judicial system, the prosecution has to make that proof. So yeah as long as the trial hasn't started there shouldn't be any proof.

Same logic with antivax people.

There is nothing, nothing in the US news cycle from the last 2 months that don't point to a totalitarian regime slowly infiltrating every aspect of civil society.

You guys need to fight back harder. Bullies are cowards, they will backpedal if they feel resistance. Harvard understood this.

He's in a catch-22. He needs to be believably Anti Trump to gain enough seats to win, but doing so would lose him his base. So he keeps repeating what he's been saying for the last 2 years, i.e. bitching about a PM who's not even there anymore.

Stupid people with no self reflection often feel threatened by smart people with integrity. This is why Trump talked shit about Biden, Fauci, Jack Smith and now Krebs. The only smart people he allows around him are suckers with no morals.

 

A Mississippi sheriff said he was “ashamed” and apologized after five of his former deputies pleaded guilty to charges related to the torture of two Black men.
