He's probably being forced to by the police to make him look more dangerous. Somehow?

At least that was the theory that was floating around for the first couple photos of him with one.

Yep his lawyer objected to him being perp walked everywhere with like a dozen SWAT dudes and cuffs, manacles, and a vest bc it makes him look guilty - but they're doing it anyway.

That's why he was wearing shoes without socks and ankle-cut pants that day in court, I think - there are close up shots of the manacles and they look ridiculous on him with him in his cute lil loafers looking like a fancy lad.

They'll tell you its for his protection so that he cant be assassinated... but we all know thats complete bullshit and its for the optics

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 weeks ago

Yep. Why would anyone assassinate him? It doesn't make sense. He doesn't have any hidden information. If you think he did it, well, he's already on trial for murder. Who is that not enough for?

It's dumb.

I don't know him wearing a bulletproof vest makes me feel like the other people are the ones that are dangerous and he's the one that's in danger of being harmed by the actual violent people?
