STFU AND SAY LAWYER..... he must have looked this one up lol

The shaking narrative don't fit if true... if he did not mean to be caught then i guess they planted all the evidence on him.

is this a right guy?
- Any intelligent person might be shaking when they know they're about to be booked into the US prison system.
  
  Gulag?
Ah yes, American cops pulling synonyms for charges out of a hat if they don't like somebody.

Governments, like the one of America, don't care for the CEO or for this guy. They only care about showing the people that "it is impossible to get away" if you don't follow the status quo.
- 'Cause right now they don't have enough proof he was the shooter, but they want to hold him ... so they charge him with whatever. BS charges can be dropped at any time.
  
  The ends don't justify the means.
- If you decide that this system is so insufferable to live within that you're willing to do what this guy did, I don't see any reason to be taken alive.
  
  I don't understand what you're saying here. I'm talking about pulling charges out of a hat just to make it worse.

☹️ Poor guy.
Where's the gofundme?
- I saw the whole thing. It was self defense.
  
  Deff was not him... these charges don't make sense.

  Pulled off the site by GoFundMe.
- DON'T GET SCAMMED
But not murder?
- That'll come later when they have more evidence. This is just to get him in jail for now.
  
  *plant more evidence
  
  Including his own statements if he talks to the police beyond saying "lawyer."
- That will be in New York after they get their case in order.
