It just shows anyone can do the right thing

Is chilling how thenwhole internet is fed up a story of a man before his sentence. If this guy is innocent his whole life is already exposed forever just for memes and a penny. We are the big brother and we suck.

The "we did it reddit!" phrase comes from redditors trying to track down suspects of the boston bombing. Redditors found a guy they strongly suspected, then found personal info on them and began harrassing him and family, including death threats.

It was the wrong person.

Imagine being that person accused! One day just living life, the next experiencing a horrible bombing, the next being tracked down by a misguided internet randos on a manhunt.

This is why having some basic privacy is important before you need it

it wasnt the internet that exposed him to the media, it was the police and feds who sold him out to the media. There is no "we did it" here. "They" did it.

they need the killer to not get away with it, so they created a scapegoat. they picked an affluent white guy because the system is more lenient on them. they approach him, offer him and his family money, tell him he'll have to spend a few years in jail, take the fall for the murder, and promise that he'll be out soon, private cell, lenient judge, all that. that way the public thinks that it's not possible to get away with revolt.

I seen so many of these and I really don't understand. Like if there is a secret cabal powerful enough to organize this and keep this a secret. The resources to find this random dude, approach him and make these offers and STILL have no one speak out about it. Couldn't they just find the guy? Like are they really so desperate to attempt this after not finding him for 3 days? Also if they are scared this is going to happen again because copycats are they really powerful enough to organize these cover ups? Feels like Schrodinger's oligarchy cabal, powerful enough to frame and cover anything up but not powerful enough to keep themselves from getting shot in the street.

I am not on CEO side, I am shedding no tears but the whole scapegoat thing is just delusional.

The catholic church covers up and shields priests who are guilty of sex crimes against children.

The CIA abducted and tortured US citizens in MKUltra.

There were no weapons of mass destruction in Iraq.

Just because you're too stupid to imagine it doesn't mean it's not real. Have a day.

And just because you can imagine it doesn't make it true.

[–] [email protected] -1 points 4 months ago

No, the measurable, repeatable and well-documented facts make it true. See my comment above for a place to start your research; I'd recommend reputable online sources.

My point is that just because it sounds like a conspiracy doesn't mean it's "just delusional".

He did everything right and believed in the system.
And then he himself, or someone close to him, got a diagnosis that ensured life-long medical debt and poverty.

He seems to have had a spinal surgery and had pins put in his spine. Books he's looked at seems to indicate chronic pain and fights with insurance companies.

It was exactly what every single person thought who wasn't paid to think otherwise.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 months ago

Had exact same fusion performed.

4 screws, 2 rods to connect them, and a 3-d sintered titanium cage between the vertebrae.

I can attest to the chronic pain and wanting to armor a bulldozer

The CIA used MKULTRA techniques to brainwash him and do the assassination as a test run.
