      It’s amazing people here advocating for political assassinations, while in their next breath decrying authoritarianism; doing their best to suppress information used to help catch murderers.

      What happens when the system breaks down an political assassination becomes the norm? The most violent political party wins. That is what happens.

        You’re not wrong, but you’re ignoring the fact, that that’s where we are. The system has broken down. Political hits are the norm now. The most violent party will win, and arguably has already won. I don’t want violence anymore than the next person, but misrepresentation, violent rhetoric, and easy access to firearms have brought us to this point. The only thing that people are angry about, is the left started shooting back. You can only fire so many shots before people start feeling like they have nothing to lose. And that’s where we are.

          The Democrats are nearly ready to follow that letter up with a serious committee to appoint a subcommittee to decide what kind of paper to use in the next angry letter.

        Go ahead and provide some statistics on how many lemmy users are actively advocating for political assassinations. I can point you to the post where we have prominent conservative leaders advocating for political violence, oh and we can visit r/conservative over at reddit too because, whew, talk about some advocating violence, damn.

        As for you whole decrying authoritarianism, one can point out how Kash M. Money is a overtly partisan and non-trustworthy, incompetent actor that will push his and Republicans political view in regardless of the facts of the case to blame the left. Something that he’s made clear he would use the office for, punishing political enemies with or without evidence.

        So no, I’m not going to help out a fascist bad actor in any case including this one because I 100% do not believe that he will use the information in good faith. Also, I did my part because I have no clue who this guy is.

        And as for your question/statement about the most violent political party is also a bunch of BS considering, again, I can point you to a party that’s actively and publicly calling for “war” against the left for “avenging” one of their own with absolutely no proof of the motivations of the suspect.

        ETA: law enforcement apparently pushed a bulletin containing false information that the bullets had trans and anti-facist sentiments etched into them to journalists. So yeah, about that whole trust the federal agencies to investigate here.

    Detailed description, so that asshole can get caught: It’s a human. A human with a gun. Please report all people matching these criteria to the FBI. Really all of them.

      There have been multiple photos showing the suspect too, here are some of them so you might be better able to catch the suspect.

    • I’ll be fair and add more details.

      It’s a (presumably) white cis dude wearing a ballcap, dark sunglasses, and a black shirt with the American flag printed on it. That should narrow it down quite a bit.

      Has anyone checked their local Bass Pro Shop?

    I’d still highly doubt anything they find or come up with.

    The pressure to get an arrest and conviction means whoever gets nabbed is still just an innocent scape goat.

    Hope the jury understands that and votes appropriately.

    I don’t need to look at the photo. I’ve never seen him before in my life. Oh sure, he killed someone but tRump has done far worse. Musk has done far worse. RFK has done far worse. ICE has done far worse. SCOTUS has done far worse. The GOP has done far worse. When thousands die because tRump took their Medicaid insurance and SNAP, what this guy did was nothing.
