We can't let the media take the narrative back and let them do a smear campaign on this person who might not even be the shooter. He's a suspect.
This ceo shooting broke the proverbial spell where what the population was actually saying wasn't being guided or swayed by the news.
We need to keep the steam up on the media pushback. All those savage, snarky comments and memes left on every news article, fb post, tweet... they got overwhelmed by us. That needs to keep happening so they can't go back to distracting and brainwashing people with fear and politics while they scapegoat this guy and try to make an example of him to the rest of us plebs.
They already tried to distract us with aliens and Diddy because people won't stop saying how much they hate insurance companies. Keep voicing your discontent where ever they leave an open comment box. Please do it. Not only is it cathartic, but it upsets the oligarchs and everytime you upset an oligarch someone's insurance is less likely to deny their claim.
This isnt the guy. This is their scapegoat. What I could read he seems to be a foreigner. Also the first part of the article is hilarious. Fucking cop who been on the job no more than 6 months and fellow officer saw this guy and just knew they have the right man no doubt in their minds didn't think twice. Fucking doesn't look like the killer even a little bit. Bunch fuck ups. Poor guy.
Edit: so guy isn't a foreigner, but he isn't the killer either.
It says he's from a rich Baltimore family.
So Batman? If he is the killer which I highly doubt. Bet they fucked up and arrested the wrong guy.
Just saying the guy they arrested is not a foreigner.
Oh okay understand. Still he is Batman may be walk free.
