Imagine thinking only Reddit sympathizes with the shooter OR that the 40 million American Reddit users are not reflective of even 1/12 of society at large. Either you dont understand how criminal trials work, or basic math, or both.

More likely hell get a good plea deal. Jury nullification is unrealistic but a hung jury isnt. Its going to be hard to get 12 jurors to unanimously convict. Its not something the prosecution wants to retry over and over. The public reaction means no matter how rock solid their case is, they will have to contend with the fact that most jury pools are going to have one or more sympathizers. Offering a good plea deal is their best bet at conviction. I just dont know how Luigi wants this to play out; he obviously wanted to get caught and planned to get caught, he may actually want a high profile jury trial to take place.

In a worst case scenario, that might actually be the silver lining. If this were ever to go human-to-human airborne transmission, quick mutations means it would likely mutate into a less deadly variant relatively quickly. Strong emphasis on relatively because obviously this would do an incredible amount of damage before that happens, and theres a lot of room between less deadly than the previous variant and not deadly enough to be a major concern.

This administration is straight up going to murder American citizens. This isnt even negligence. This is one of what is sure to be many more willfully malicious acts against our health and well-being. Fuck all of you that voted for this.

The media has spent decades perfecting the art of making people angry and scared. This is the first time they have been tasked with trying to make the American people un-angry about something and they have no fucking clue how to do it, its not in their wheel house, they are not skilled at it, and they are completely showing their ass. They just do not know how to talk about this event without making you upset at Healthcare or CEOs, but they are compelled to try anyways.

Flying the confederate flag while claiming to be the party of Lincoln tells you all you need to know about those right wing types. Stupid, dishonest, bad faith actors.

It is, thats what age of consent means. And in most states, the age of consent is 16-17. In those relevant states, any 16 year old person can freely consent to have sex with anyone else who is at least the age of consent or older. This is different than and is often confused with Romeo and Juliet laws where minors can legally have sex with other minors or people within a close enough age range. Age of consent is not that. it is plainly the age which a person can consent to sex.

I mean, the rods are real, theyre literally just rods. Its just the logistics of moving them into space and maintaining them is so significant that other conventional means of warfare makes more sense for now.

A recurring story in this nation. As it will continue to be like clock work.

What both parties? This country is headed toward one party rule and the dems lost. The American people have loudly signaled they are ready to bend over and take it up the ass from conservatives no matter how fraudulent, rapey, and felonious that dick is for generations to come. They dont want fair internet, reasonable healthcare, social security, vaccines, or worker rights. They want to be dominated and looted by billionaires and thats what we will all get now.
