Come on, Stella. That’s ridiculous. No one is making an excuse. If what I’m “not ruling out” is true, that’s not an excuse, it’s an entirely different scenario. And what I’m not ruling out is false, then it’s also not an excuse.
People need to be able to discuss possibilities without “you’re an apologist for murder!”
You don't want to believe your own lying eyes, so you're grasping at straws.
There are neighborhoods in the area that are as dangerous as war zones, and people get killed there on a whim or for a dare.
I have suffered this sort of shit doing down, every damn month, a couple of streets over, when I lived near DC. And then the DC sniper started taking pot-shots at people, from his car, for the lulz.
This is not anything usual. People are just used to it.
leaving crazy people to run around the streets after multiple cases of them brutally assaulting people is the problem. you can't apologize for this neglect of justice. half a dozen people at least were victims of this maniac before he finally went the whole way. there was plenty of chance to prevent it.
so, yeah, it is apologetics for murderers. everyone who thinks its ok to punch someone is under suspicion when they do it for random, crazy reasons. there was a marketing campaign in australia years ago "one punch can kill" it's literally true. one slash on the right part of someone's body also can open a major blood vessel or artery that leads rapidly to bleeding out as well. even a punch can cause this in some cases though that's pretty rare unless they are a hulking monster like this case.
