The shooter is immortal with or without Luigi. The shooter showed us they bleed and they’re scared and stumbling now to stay in control.
They have to sit and marinate with their mortality now. It scares them knowing they aren’t that different from us
This. Especially because it took days to actually find him. Imagine how pants-shittingly-scared the oligarchs would be if one got capped and they couldn't find the killer?
And that's why I think that he's not the one. They scrambled to find whatever evidence and pinpoint to anyone remotely similar to make an example out of him (this comment can be full of conspiracy). My take is they will pin someone, make an example out of him and demotivate future Green Guys.
But the issue is just a social class problem. A CEO is killed, media labels him as a domestic terrorist, a narcissist destroys the whole country (Elmo) and he's a "hero", especially if he uses one of his 13 meat shields.
Don't forget that Elmo is also an autist. You could just as easily and just as truthfully say an evil autist is destroying the country.
I don't know why you'd want to politicise a mental disorder like that, but since you're already doing it, you might as well go all the way.
Psychiatrist never diagnosed him with ASD. Psychiatrist never diagnosed him with NPD. It's all rumours and stereotypes. He wants the sympathetic stereotype, Lemmy users who think they're leftists want the unsympathetic stereotype. How about we leave stereotypes out of the conversation to talk about the piece of shit he actually is, instead of which neurodivergencies we think we can use as weapons against him?
