Grapefruit, I love them. I take so much medicine that I can’t really have them anymore.

Stop drinking grapefruit juice out of your dog. It can’t be good for either one of you.

A Brief History of Time is a great book, and an easy read. It was written for laypeople to be able to digest.

The only thing I can think of that they might have to hook federal charges on is if they’re saying he crossed state lines as part of a plan to commit a crime, where that plan was executed (pun intended).

As though “voters” matter any more.

No no and fucking no (pun intended).

They argue that the New York case and a parallel federal death penalty prosecution amount to double jeopardy.

Unfortunately, they don’t. You can be charged in State, Federal, and Military jurisdictions for the same offense - provided that the charge is applicable in each jurisdiction.

My own opinion is that the federal charges are super weak here. They only exist because Luigi is accused of “crossing state lines.” So far as I’m aware, interstate travel isn’t illegal. The fact that interstate travel occurred before and/or after a crime was committed shouldn’t make that a federal crime. Otherwise, everything is a federal crime.

But I agree, the far right is trying really hard to paint the guy as a lefty, claiming that he was in a relationship with his MTF roommate.

The existence of such a “relationship” has only come from the mouth of UT Gov Spencer Cox, without any more detail than that, and then been repeated from there. Even if we take that as “bible truth”, let’s not forget about Grindr usage spikes at Republican conventions.

Let’s be fair here. There’s an investigation going on. As a law enforcement spokesperson, you don’t just go blabbing case details willy nilly.

I mean, who do you think he is, FBI Director?

Where the hell do you get 12 grit and what the hell do you do with it?

There are a lot of people who have access to guns.

Decide to be someone who exercises that access and turn it into possession.

Rocks are natural. Stones are rocks that have been worked/shaped by humans.

You’re not wrong. Everyone reading this, please take note that every piece of information being reported is coming from Utah law enforcement, then secondhand from Cox, and the FBI, much of it now via Kash Patel. Some of that information has already been demonstrated to be plainly false (“trans messages” on the rounds), while other things can be accepted as true (video and stills, actual messages on the rounds, chat content), and some is just “whaaa … ?” (“There was a handwritten note, we know it, and we know exactly what was in it, but it doesn’t exist anymore.”)

Then layer on top of that that the administration is leadning real hard into the “left-wing radicals” thing, and their leaning is being heavily reported by a media landscape that is incapable of comprehending the “joking not joking meme culture” of places like 4chan, 7chan, corners of SomethingAwful, old IRC, Usenet, StileProject. Someone I know tells me: “I lived there. Still visit there. It’s always, and I do mean always, right wing shit.” I was there, too, and it is always right wing shit.

Cox says Robinson was “radicalized by Reddit, by dark places on the internet” and then concludes that Robinson is a “leftist.” Lol no, that’s not what happens on “dark places on the internet” (I mean, unless you include tankies? Maybe?)

Again, to everyone, be very critical of the messaging you’re seeing come out of the investigation, the administration, and the media reporting on it. This is shaping up to be not “wag the dog” but just a disembodied tail wagging itself.

Kash then begins to talk about how he personally walked the crime scene and at that time they found evidence including a “screw driver” on the roof.

Well the first reporting I heard of this screwdriver is that it was found in the woods near the rifle. Or are there two screwdrivers?

I hear you, and I hate to defend Spencer Cox, but he’s been pretty good about gendering appropriately in the statements I’ve seen. It’s by avoiding pronouns altogether, but he does appear to be trying.

If you’re gonna cite statistics, you better have receipts.
