I always see the death of journalists as a great tragedy and injustice when they're targeted in the name of imperial interests. But man, American journalists need a goddamn purge.
so they'll plaster white school shooters mugshots all over their 24/7 coverage but when its an ALLEGED ceo shooter they pull out the @Civility@hexbear.net card. ofc this lolbertarian is an incoherent loser but the reality inventing is so obvious lol
I was gonna doubt this, but Ken never misses with the hot leaks. He's really been on MSM's ass about this situation too. Basically calling them out for the corporate shills we always knew they were. He was making the ultra libs rage post over on liberal twitter (bluesky) during the whole "manhunt" timeline. Quotes because the cops 1000% failed to hunt a man... some boomer at McDonald's who watches too much CNN/Fox News ratted his ass out.
Imagine being some crime-obsessed boomer drooling for 60 years waiting to call the cops on some "FBI most wanted" style criminal. You're standing in line, sipping your free boomer coffee (real thing btw), and glance over to see a handsome, vaguely-ethnic fellow with furry caterpillars over his eyes. You snitch his ass out, cops come and give you the least enthusiastic "thanks, dumb ass." of all time, and haul the guy off mid-hashbrown.
Fast forward to Christmas Day with your grandkids visiting. You tell your ungrateful shit grandkids who never call or visit that you were the one who caught the killer! You see your kid, their parent, look around nervously right before the grandkid says "Oh wow, grandpa! But Dad said that bad man deserved it. Right, Dad?"
"Stop publishing the face picture so people maybe we won't notice that his unibrow doesn't match the shooter's clearly defined and separated eyebrows." Not convinced that he is claiming credit for / being blamed for someone else's actions.
I was mulling over the idea of this case vs mass shooter today while running errands.
There is only 1x target so definitionally it can't be "mass".
To my mind it is somewhat of a puzzle, why he would do this, and only go for 1x target. Since he seems to have had no cover story or way to get out of it. Why not just go to speech this guy was supposed to give and find a few more viable targets? Surely if you are willing to go this far with no escape plan... I guess it depends on what this guy's precise motivations were.
He also didn't have any kind of "suicide by cop" thing going on, which the mass shooters love because it removes them from any kind of accountability. Eventually we'll learn if he thought he'd get away with it. Mass shooters never think they're gonna get away with it.
American "journalists" always finding new ways of keeping more information from the grabby, clammy hands of the public. Very important work! I'm glad these uniquely virtuous and sagely oracles are handed the responsibility of dialing it back (it being giving the public relevant information on current events)
Chatgpt, give me a photo of a man in shadows playing with bleach bottles and IEDs and make it look like those are necessary components of a making a 3D-printed pistol.
