Do you want them to successfully prosecute him, or do you want them to make a big show and then not have enough documented evidence with full chain of custody and have their prosecution fail? Your indict first and investigate later idea will only serve to let him off.

It’s been 36 hours. Take a breath and let them work. They’re going to get there and they’re going to do it the right way.

They were willing to dismiss this murder with all six other angles until this one. They deserve nothing but derision and social castigation. You don’t get credit for being the last person to recognize evil.

I remember. I was alive in those ancient times. He made a terrible bargain.

Not sure why you’re letting off the other 30% who voted for Trump, unless it’s just because that’s obvious. They have agency. They go in the bin too.

The idea that only a third of us are good citizens is sobering but completely believable. Jefferson worried about this at length in his writings. He was right on that count.

Me too, friend. Absolutely sickened. May you find peace this evening.

Before that we had “INS”, and they weren’t militarized to nearly this level.

I don’t know how old most folks on here are, but on 9/11 I was a sophomore in college in upstate NY. Our entire culture changed over night. The 90s were truly over and a new, dark, dystopian world began to emerge in a way that previously privileged folks in this country could feel viscerally.

Some of my friends didn’t come back from the wars. Others did but they lost their souls along the way. Bin Laden could not have possibly been more successful in what he was trying to do.

“Letting”

Yeah sorry guys. That was me.

Then don’t actually believe that. They just don’t care. They’re taunting everyone who isn’t outright evil.
