Why, is the court going to use random Lemmy comments as evidence?
It's about being factual. Let's not make this Reddit 2.0 with bs.
Also yes. Reddit is terrible at decided how crimes must have happened from an AP article with nothing but the main people's names.
Reddit is where the wackos who will cancel you for suggesting any hint of "guilt" are! How is this any different? You can think the guy did it without believing he is guilty of murder or manslaughter.
I think you both have a point.
Police in the US don't investigate killings, they find a person they feel comfortable pinning it on, and hope the trial works in their favor. We really don't know if this guy is the guy who shot someone, and NYPD has a long history of picking the wrong person to accuse based on their bias and not on facts or evidence. There's every possibly he's actually, in fact, innocent. So far all we've been told offically is largely circumstantial.
Why, are you in favor of spreading misinformation?
this. I am tired of people saying "what if someone sees it!?" Because potential jurors are browsing reddit Luigi fan forums, a rando Lemmy server, Instagram Luigi fan accounts, or rando substack comments all at the same time. People are allowed to have opinions about the case. I think he did it. I don't think he committed murder. He did a service and sacrificed himself. That's the whole reason for the season.
