  Well you shouldn’t have been out that late and he probably was doing something illegal anyway

  We are getting into some real victim blaming territory

    Ironically, that is pretty much word for word what DJT said about the Central Park 5…

      That’s exactly why I’m bothered about this. And besides, it’s not like the person wasn’t a shitbag without it, why bother making up extra justification

    He’s not a victim, he’s a psychopathic predator who caught a karma ricochet. It should have been worse.

      That’s fine, I’m just saying the “shouldn’t have been out that late and was probably a criminal anyway” is eerily close to what is said when people are victim blaming. Better just say that he deserved it for being a shit person

        It’s not a matter of “he’s probably a criminal anyway,” he’s something far worse that a criminal. There no “probably” about it. He’s a psychopathic traitor who actively, enthusiastically attacked/ damaged/ destroyed/ stole, etc. extremely valuable and sensitive agencies and data, and he deserves life in prison.

      Buy don’t you see the circumstances of the situation matters? A black man being beat up by police on his way home late one night after buying diapers for his toddler, sounds pretty awful and unjust right? Well turns out it was Clarence Thomas. Cool he got beat, but still makes it an unjust and disgusting crime that needs to be punished. Especially when they thought it was just some random easy target.

        Oh, the criminals should definitely be punished, they don’t get a pass, that’s MAGA thinking.

        But I’m not going to offer any sympathy for this psychpath as a victim. He has killed too many people for me to care about him.

    Eh, he victimized millions of people already, lied repeatedly about his story, the cops lied to support him. He isn’t the victim, he’s the asshole.

      I’ll copy here what i wrote above, hopefully that’s alright

        Alright, that’s fair.

        For me I think it’s more that nothing about the official story makes sense. It seems much more likely he was being a shithead and got punched while shopping. What he was shopping for should be largely irrelevant.

        It’s similar to other conservative hypocrisies.

  wouldn’t be surprised if he propositioned the children.
