      Not to mention one did their act in NYC and fled to suburban Pennsylvania while the other had to deal with police from a far more mundane environment. People who think the comparison can be used to paint police intentions (as if they’re even a single body like some army of droids and not individuals who have free will to show up) are just sad, it would be like saying “the 1918 plague was not as widely reported or is as known as the smallpox plague, therefore it killed less or was less a priority”. People are sadly disproportionate, that’s just how things seem to have worked in history.

        It really just comes down to whatever helps the narrative. Empirical truth is no longer required anymore. All everyone really needs now is just a good profound meme-

        and this dude is destined to become one. His entire message is going to become lost amongst all the edgy salivating kids, climbing over one another to see who can make the coolest cartoon out of him.
