I’ve never understood this. I have a condition with my feet that means i pretty much walk on bruises everday of my life. In medieval days they flogged people’s feet to torture them with a condition I deal with every day.
There are days I take off my shoes and sob.
I would never do that. I keep my shoes on in public.
The bottom of this person’s feet are not purple like mine are. What’s their excuse? Put your shoes back on.
That’s what bothers me. The government is like ‘the memes about him aren’t true, he’s nothing special. It’s just murder’
Then they turn around and prosecute saying ‘this isn’t just murder! Look at all the memes! This needs to be enforced like the special event it is’
You can’t have your cake and eat it too. The judicial branch has been downplaying it as a simple murder. One man mad at another man. Nothing more. Cool. Then prosecute it as such.
The inconsistent words jeopardize the faith in the system. Neo Nazi lynches a man to prove a point to an entire race that they are not safe… Murder, not terrorism.
Guy kills a CEO over his personal issues with treatment with no master plan or manifesto? That’s a terrorist?
The public needs consistency or we lose trust in the system.
