A CEO, who bankrupted and murdered thousands for profit, is killed and terrorism charges are put on the assassin.

A working woman is burned alive, and the police walk by.

In capitalism, the value of your life depends entirely on how much money you make. The USA is such a fucked up country

I mean, we don't know he's the shooter. He plead not guilty, so, not guilty until the state makes a sufficient case to a jury demonstrating beyond a reasonable doubt that he is the shooter.

Really? In this era of persecuting some while making others heros? How about rittenhouse? How about trumblebutt? We don’t know he’s guilty, but he will be judged in the press, we will read what a monster he is for shooting an innocent man. Then the folks who lack critical thinking skills (most of Americans), will soak that 💩up. They must make him the example - can’t have other people following his lead after all.

Look, I don't know who tumblebutt is, but Rittenhouse was on video shooting people, so this isn't the same situation. And people shouldn't lean into or be okay with the media culture of sensationalized criminal proceedings. That degrades our justice system and damages the jury. When professional reports engage in that sort of speculation of preemptive judgement we should speak out against it because it's the right thing to do regardless of the accusation. We shouldn't allow media to sensationalized crime. That's how we end up with stupid photo shoots like this perp walk they did for this guy.

I think we’re saying the same thing. I was coming from the perspective of how it’s been going, not how it should be going.
