      I was in the grocery store tonight, and I live in Canada, and some woman was on her phone on speaker next to me, and the woman on the other end was raving about “how they say they’re antifascist but they’re not”. I had not heard the news but was wondering what she was on about, and I guess it’s already antifa’s fault. Imagine that.

      Not clear. First they grabbed the wrong guy and let him go. Then the pigs said they had someone in custody. Then they said they released them, but it wasn’t clear if they meant the first or second person.

      I’m betting they know nothing because the state setup an online tipline and is begging for info.

        So the first guy they suspected was George Hodgson Zinn who apparently said something like ‘I’d do it again’ when he was near some of the cops. They let him go because he didn’t match footage they have of the shooter and he was in the wrong place for the shot. Then they rearrested him for obstruction of justice. I’m not sure on the second, maybe it’s the same person and they got mixed up with a game of telephone.

          Why did he get arrested for obstruction? Or is this just a childish rational police response of “we made ourselves look stupid so you have to suffer”?

          The republicans voted to not release the Epstein files yesterday. Did you know that? I bet most of America doesn’t know that… for some reason

            I heard that Kirk was one of the ones that was actually pushing to release the files, like MTG. Trump himself being the one that reported him dead feels weird. The shot was too clean and perfectly executed. This is the job of someone that knows perfectly what was doing. This is at best a smoke screen, at worst is sending a message to the fellas at the GOP. If I’m right, MTG will either mysteriously drop it, or she will also be silenced.

            Sorry for the tinfoil hat moment, but something’s off here. So many people recording, the thing seems premeditated to me, almost a public execution

              He also did an about face on that issue and said to drop it, so who fucking knows.

              Just glad there’s one less vile piece of shit in the world. This guy isn’t Franz.

      I saw a picture earlier of some guy they said was the shooter & in custody, but then heard that they didn’t have anyone.

        Yeah I heard on the drive home that that guy wasn’t the shooter but they threw him in jail anyway for “obstructing justice”. No idea what he did.
