You know there's been so much discussion about the fascist pig who murdered her and whether or not he was standing in front of the car or not, he wasn't. I haven't seen a whole lot talking about the absolute fucking psychopath who for no reason at all got out of his shitty pick up and sprinted toward the door of This woman's car and thrust his hand into it. That's the weirdest fucking part to me. One there was absolutely no reason for him to stop and get out of his truck whatsoever, then him sprinting toward her while wearing a mask and not identifying himself in any way whatsoever.

Can you imagine how anyone's reaction would be if a masked man sprints toward your car and thrust his hand in your window? He's lucky she wasn't a gun owner. Cuz instinctually you'd shoot that person and you would be justified for doing so. That guy is just as responsible for this murder as the actual shooter in my opinion. For no reason whatsoever he turned this into a dangerous situation and is responsible for what occurred.

This is not a defense of the fascists, but calling it a "sprint" up to her car is as disingenuous as saying the officer was "run over".

He trotted then. Whatever. There was excitement in the approach.

It was an aggressive approach, but it's not "whatever". Words matter. You lose credibility when you accuse the other side of lying for a political point, then you lie for a political point.
