No it's still that way. In the Boys thread it took someone until Stormfront started gleefully murdering minorities in an apartment building to realize the character was racist.

Danger posted:The gun running explanation always made the most sense to me The being a weird loner who was losing more than he gained and went out in a mass casualty suicide event like the vast majority of mass shooters always made the most sense to me.

Adam Lanza had spreadsheets of mass shooting events categorized and printed out long before he did what he did. Felix has a tweet that resonated with me about how if Rotten Library was still around they'd have a great write up about Paddock.

I went through the autopsy results when they came out and I wanna say only one fatality (it wasn't more than a couple) was struck in the head and the vast majority were only hit once. Tumbling bullets are real deadly when they hit center mass. One unlucky person was hit only in the leg and died. There were a poo poo ton of people boxed in.

Yeah he hit the tanks twice:quote:Las Vegas shooter Stephen Paddock fired at jet fuel tanks near the concert site where he killed 58 people and wounded more than 500 on Sunday night. I haven't listened to it yet but I'd dread a Port Arthur episode if they think Paddock was accurate. Groovelord Neato fucked around with this message at 20:42 on Mar 26, 2021 |

The manufacturer of the Bushmaster Adam Lanza used to murder 20 kids reported record sales of it that quarter (they were eventually bankrupted by one of those leveraged buyout deals that killed Toys R Us so gently caress em).

The Kingfish posted:I’m currently reading “Case Closed” by Gerald Posner, which was written as a refutation of the JFK-CIA conspiracy. It’s an interesting read and honestly contains some details that temper my conviction of the Agency’s involvement—the principal of which is Oswalds apparent life-long vocal adherence to Marxism. Oswald apparently read Kapital while in high school and got kicked out of a classmate’s house for spouting off on his love of communism. Case Closed has some errors in it - Reclaiming History is much better in the realm of "Oswald acted alone" camp and goes over errors Posner made. It's stupidly long though - the first couple hundred pages are a recounting of the assassination written as narrative non-fiction so that section is easily skipped and I'm not sure why it's even in the book. In my younger years I was a believer in the conspiracy (as most people are generally and the film JFK came out when I was younger) but I don't think it holds up to scrutiny. Certainly makes me feel like the odd one out when it comes to internet leftism. Groovelord Neato fucked around with this message at 13:59 on May 17, 2021 |

Apart from hiding Saudi government involvement the "official story" is how it happened. I don't fault anyone for believing in the Kennedy conspiracy and I don't find it implausible as a concept really I just don't think the evidence is there. The only people I totally dismiss are the ones that get into the obviously false stuff like second gunmen and poo poo.

Someone uploaded an old Chapo clip from when Theranos started to collapse and it's funny having Will ask Noah Kulwin if Homles's voice is fake because when Theranos was on the rise I felt like I was on crazy pills because nobody mentioned it and it was so obvious to me.

His accuracy wasn't insane. Though the same kind of thinking led to Port Arthur massacre conspiracy theories since Bryant hit so many people in the head at the cafe (ignoring that people sitting are all around the same level).

I brought up Sutherland Springs which was one of the worst mass shootings (it's top 10 in terms of body count I'm pretty sure) happened a month later and someone responded they'd totally forgot that happened.

They keep repeating the hilariously wrong number of self-defensive gun uses per year so it is a bit surprising they never tried it with Sutherland Springers so I do have to chalk it up to everyone forgetting about it an hour after it happened.

TenementFunster posted:you’re right on Killa Kyle, but Arbery’s killers (probably) arent getting away with that poo poo, even in demon cracker nation. Zimmerman was at least lucky enough not to film himself hunting down and killing a black kid I really really hope they bag the guys that lynched Arbery. It's the only time I've been angry enough to email someone - the ex prosecutor or whoever that told the police that they acted in self defense based on the evidence and advised them not to arrest. Then the video dropped and I don't know if I've ever been more angry in my life and I had to track down his email and tear him a new one. Doubt he read it but that poo poo was mind-meltingly infuriating.
