news
Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.
Rules:
-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --
-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --
-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --
-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today/ . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --
-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--
-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--
-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --
-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

Even if it's a setup we should engage with what's out there, rather than just yelling "wake up sheeple." Especially because for many libs this will be persuasive, and we should use the "manifesto" and events such as they are to further our ends.
I'm not fully convinced he's not a patsy, but until more evidence that he is a patsy arises, we need to engage the libs where they are rather than turn them off with "it's all a setup don't you see!" I get your skepticism comrade, but I also just don't see the value in rejecting this outright - if it's what's going to be discussed as the shooter's manifesto, we should reckon with it (even if we might harbor suspicions of fed meddling).
why would you say such a thing , why not have not more responsibility ..
if he is : He clearly isnt
if he isnt : he clearly isnt as well and you help the State murder some random fuck to demonstrate its power .. why not leave the "everything is entertaiment" sphere for a moment .
Your social duty is to scream from every ucking rooftop that he is a Patsy set up. Nothing else .
What if he makes definitive statements that yes it was him and he doesn't regret it? Is he then an asset who did this on behalf of an alphabet org?
I also doubt the security footage looks anything like this guy, and I think its bizzarre as fuck that he had all the evidence on him still hundreds of miles and days away considering how effective the adjuster seemed to be on the day of the attack and those that followed, but like, if he starts saying it was him and shit I don't have much of a reason to disbelieve
It could really be as simple as he planned to make a clean getaway but then realized he was famous and beloved and thought hey maybe I can say some stuff during my trial to make a bigger difference
I'm still sus about all this until further notice, but its by no means guaranteed
