It's funny because 2010 internet would have tried to find this guy no matter the circumstances. I'm glad the enamor of social media has worn off so that "not your army" is completely internalized.

Would they? They went after bombers who hurt innocent bystanders, for instance.

But would they have gone after someone that did something people really have sympathy for? I don’t know that there’s any precedent suggesting they would.

Maybe if the guy wasn't such a piece of shit the pigs wouldn't be the only ones trying to solve his murder.

Honestly, i never knew this would be the big event that would rally humanity together--i am 100% here for it though

Imagine this happening right before the primaries where Bernie was running on, among other things, universal healthcare.

It's only a matter of time before another one happens to rally behind. Hopefully the next one is just as competent.
