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 --

-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--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. --

also an insane comparison to make when luigi* has already accomplished so much more than manson ever did. they just murdered some actors like psychos, didn't even start the race war they wanted. even their dreams were small. when people looked at manson, they saw a cultist. for better or worse, when the average us amerikkkan looks at luigi, they don't see a lunatic cultist, they just see a guy who finally did what everyone was thinking without harming a single innocent.
*luigi: not necessarily the guy who did it, let's see the feds explain why they couldn't find the guy but supposedly he just had all his stuff on his person at fucking mcdonalds
I’m still not convinced he’s the guy, and not just in a “the state has to prove its case” way. The photos of Luigi in the hostel he’s wearing different clothes than the shooter. It’s not like we have video of Luigi walking out of the hostel and walking right to where it happened, we have images of some guys in the default outfit of a white man in New York that could possibly be Luigi placed between the hostel and the shooting. You had nothing on him for days and then suddenly found him because of a called in tip? How did you know that tip was legit? I know you’re not investigating every tip, there’s no way there weren’t tons of false reports submitted. He had the gun and bag on him? The bag you found in Central Park two days earlier? The gun that should be at the bottom of the Hudson?
I’ll be honest it doesn’t check out to me, and I know juries love to convict people based on way less evidence than that but he’s a very sympathetic defendant.
Also generally I think it’s bullshit that the cops just stop searching when they decide themselves that they got the guy. He hasn’t been convicted yet, you have no idea if you got the guy or not. Get back out there and keep searching, the shooter could very well still be on the loose.
I agree with you entirely, I just didn't want to type it all out.
Manson did kinda kill the 60s.
