The headline says the opposite of what the article says. We are being gas lit.

How the fuck is among us assassins. It's literally get rid of the alien that wants to kill you.

One of the common reasons behind mass shootings is the incredibly easy access to firearms

redsutter.bsky.social•77 days ago

He's rich, white, smart, good looking, (presumably) straight, and conservative, so all the news outlets are having a little difficulty finding a way to demonize him. I'm surprised they didn't harp on him being Italian first since we seem to be getting rolled back to (18)50s values

But he's Italian, that's like a in the minority type of whites next to the Irish.

I promise you the jury is gonna be some old rich white dude. There probably gonna say he’s got mental issues or something. Which from what I’ve seen HE DOESN’T.

It's a distraction. Da News is doing the Distraction Dance from the actual problem: Ask them "where are our jobs?".

Just watch.
