    Well he shouldn’t have been out that late and he probably was doing something illegal anyway

    We are getting into some real victim blaming territory

        That’s exactly why I’m bothered about this. And besides, it’s not like the person wasn’t a shitbag without it, why bother making up extra justification

      He’s not a victim, he’s a psychopathic predator who caught a karma ricochet. It should have been worse.

        That’s fine, I’m just saying the “shouldn’t have been out that late and was probably a criminal anyway” is eerily close to what is said when people are victim blaming. Better just say that he deserved it for being a shit person

          It’s not a matter of “he’s probably a criminal anyway,” he’s something far worse that a criminal. There no “probably” about it. He’s a psychopathic traitor who actively, enthusiastically attacked/ damaged/ destroyed/ stole, etc. extremely valuable and sensitive agencies and data, and he deserves life in prison.

            i’m talking about this

            Entitled white boys are only out that late soliciting prostitutes or buying coke

            And another one in the same thread

            wouldn’t be surprised if he propositioned the children.

            Like that’s just making up shit to justify things, similar to how often there’s that “why was the black guy out that late, probably selling drugs” shit. Why bother when you can just point to the actual shit this guy has done

              He’s a psycho traitor scumbag, of course he was out doing psycho traitor scumbag stuff. Every moment that he breathes, he’s doing something to hurt every person in the country. We have no obligation to treat him like he’s a decent person who deserves the benefit of the doubt.

              MAGA Nazis fully invent the most heinous lies about good people, speculating about what this traitor was doing is perfectly acceptable.

                It’s just so unnecessary to make up scenarios to justify shit when there’s more than enough justification as is.

                  Nope, they are pure evil, pile it on. They don’t believe in respect or fairness, they shouldn’t expect it in return.

                  Stop being such a liberal weenie. MAGA rules our country because of weak thinkers like you. This is a Civil War. Get in the game or get out of the fucking way.

        Buy don’t you see the circumstances of the situation matters? A black man being beat up by police on his way home late one night after buying diapers for his toddler, sounds pretty awful and unjust right? Well turns out it was Clarence Thomas. Cool he got beat, but still makes it an unjust and disgusting crime that needs to be punished. Especially when they thought it was just some random easy target.

      Eh, he victimized millions of people already, lied repeatedly about his story, the cops lied to support him. He isn’t the victim, he’s the asshole.

        I’ll copy here what i wrote above, hopefully that’s alright

          Alright, that’s fair.

          For me I think it’s more that nothing about the official story makes sense. It seems much more likely he was being a shithead and got punched while shopping. What he was shopping for should be largely irrelevant.

          It’s similar to other conservative hypocrisies.
