Sounds to me like law enforcement know they fucked up the arrest and search, that evidence won't be admissible in court, so they're trying to make it public instead to prejudice not only the public but the jury pool.
Half of America would be partying in the streets if it's found he was illegally searched and all that fruit of the poison tree ends up in the garbage.
More than half.
Everyone HATES the rich. Left right and center.
I really need a new word for it. Hate isn't right, detest is too little, loath feels dormant... I need a word to describe the roiling plasma of rage that rests in my heart.
When anger and disgust combine, you get contempt. And while the word doesn’t sound super impactful, contempt is one of the strongest emotions, and one that is often deeply rooted in your sense of identity. Because if you hold genuine contempt for something, it’s usually because it flies in the face of your core personal values. It’s an emotion that makes it difficult to even function properly when you’re near the target of your contempt; It’s the kind of emotion that drives people to violence.
Revolutionary fervor?
Infuriated? Disgusted to the point of destruction? I mirror your sentiment, I can't help but be so incredibly angry all the time, it's really hard to focus or direct that energy anymore. Also love a cthulhu mythos reference, nice name.
Despise? Disgusted by? Hmmm.....
I agree with more than half. Probably. And I’m not going to be pedantic and pretend like “everyone” means literally 100% of the population.
But “everyone” is still a strong word, and we have SO many people who have been conditioned their entire lives to equate material wealth with admirable people and lives well lived. They might be jealous of the rich, but it’s the same way they might be jealous of a professional athlete or a rock star. It’s not “fuck that guy,” it’s “I want to be that guy.”
Regardless of their feelings on the rich, I think you'll find that most people aren't ok with the murder.
Red Hood Has A Point
Nah, this isn't my headcanon (idk if comics have corroborated this), Batman doesn't kill because he realizes he's mentally a mess. He's unstable and, if he lets himself kill, he'd go normal Gotham-insane but with a "justice" kick.
Unless ofc the one being murdered is a murderer themselves ... and many Americans who've dealt with privalized health care can attest to that being true.
I fully appreciate what you're saying, and I'm not even saying I disagree. But most people still won't support it.
There have been polls. He has a lot of support, but it's definitely not more than half.
Half is still somewhere around 170 million Americans. I mean no political party in recent history has come close to having that kind of support.
It's pretty amazing when you think about it.
