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

We are getting into some real victim blaming territory

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

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
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

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.

No he is 100% a criminal.

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

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.

i’m talking about this
And another one in the same thread
Like that’s just making up shit to justify things, similar to how often there’s that “why was the black guy out that late, probably selling drugs” shit. Why bother when you can just point to the actual shit this guy has done

I think he is too young to be Luigi’d. He has capacity for reflection, contrition and transformation. But he did need to be checked, no doubt. Chances are this will not wake him up. His future will be in some minimum security prison for embezzlement or fraud or some other white collar crime.

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.
BarneyPiccolo@lemmy.today 1 month ago
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.
