    Conspiracy time:

    What if it’s a duo / group and they intentionally got someone caught who will have a rock solid alibi after letting investigators waste days on him, but also getting other bits and pieces of message out the entire time?

      I think this is about as likely as other conspiracy theories: not at all.

      We’re going to find out that he’s just a guy. Which is disheartening when we imagine someone coming along and saving us and setting right all the wrongs.

      But also he’s just a guy. I’m not saying killing is the way forward, but he inspires the belief that we can change the world ourselves. We don’t just live in a world controlled by the rich or shadowy conspiracies; we live in a world where we can have an impact.

        Yeah, I know, but hoping is more fun than not.

        We will see if this will have in impact at all, or can you name something that has (or will likely) changed for the better because if this?

          You mean like we’ve suddenly achieved lower denial rates or single-payer healthcare? Nothing so grand, but people are talking and both sides of the political spectrum have found a semblance of unity over this—which is probably the biggest thing they don’t want to see, is people taking their eyes off the culture war and noticing the class war.
