I’ve read his online last blog entry and that’s what convinced me.

I think they caught him using illegal means, and I think they fabricated evidence. The political pressure to catch him was insane and none of the evidence makes any sense.

If he was as smart as I assume he is they probably couldn’t get parallel construction of evidence to add up, so they had to go further. Or they couldn’t disclose the illegal methods used to find and track him.

The McDonald’s employee noticing him from the masked photos also is bizarre.

Ultimately the government needs to prove he did it, and the blog post alone is circumstantial.

The political pressure to catch him was insane

Specifically because Brian Thompson was a member of The Big Club.

I was never big on George Carlin the comedian. He was pretty average at being funny in my opinion. George Carlin the philosopher is pretty fucking great.

I agree; it took him a while to find his niche.

I kind of agree with his, with the caveat that his language-oriented bits could be extremely funny. My favorite is Airline Announcements.

He was the epitome of the phrase "you can say anything as long as you make 'em laugh." What he liked to talk about most was sacrilegious and not inherently funny. So for that, average is pretty good.

I mean the perp walk that ERIC adams, was nothing more than to get pardon from trump.

Literally the first time a mcdicks employee gave a single flying fuck about anything was this? Sus.

But the picture of the shooter from the scene looks nothing like him besides being a white dude.
