We don’t. And the next victim will be forgotten as quickly when the following victim is make known.
This is the new normal they want to you experience. Get so numb to their corruption and senseless violence that you’ll allow it when it comes you your neighborhood.
It’s gonna become as normalized as school shootings
To be fair, that’s just kind of been the norm for… my whole life? It’s not exactly a new normal, turnover has just gotten faster.
if anything people focus on him and Good too much while saying nary a peep for the Black victims like Keith Porter Jr. who end up erased
It doesnt have to be a binary.
it is a binary though, otherwise white people wouldn’t only be talking about Pretti and Good. the white media ensures it stays so with our complicity
Maybe “we” are not all American and feel the need to discuss US politcs all the time.
Except US politics is gonna burn the world down, we all in this shitshow together…
O.O
If you don’t think what’s happening in the US won’t affect us you’re an idiot. Hell, it’s already affecting us.
European chauvinist moment
I don’t think there enough hours in the day to talk about all the things we should be talking about right now. It’s a constant onslaught of crazy. Do you want to talk about the US bombing boats and killing people in the Caribbean? How about Renae Good? No? We could discuss the Gaza strip or the ongoing war in Ukraine. Oh hey, remember when Trump kidnapped the Venezuelan president? Ai seems like it might doom us all… Do you think anything is going to happen to any of the wealthy folks in the Epstein files? The strategy of everything all at once is very effective. We as people cannot unite about anything because we don’t even have time to focus on one thing. So many victims.
Even if there were enough hours in the day to keep up, most people have other things they have to do. Especially considering that just knowing about things isn’t really helping the situation.
What’s crazy is that I believe that they had planned it out after their first interactions with Pretti beforehand. And they prolly honed in on his facebook and knew that he would come to the aid of a woman being manhandled.
Like a football play in a sandlot but with dead people at the end of it.
One thing I wonder about it is, just how premeditated was it? It’s clear that there was no danger to the killers at any point, and that they had the sense that the situation nevertheless meant they were entitled to execute him, but did they workshop that in advance? Did it go as planned, or did they get confused about what they were doing?

Yes. The firearm and the robot both worked in the same factory for a bit.

Look how conservatives do it. One person gets murdered by an immigrant, we are still hear about it 10 years later.
