More old horror: a ‘70s haunted house story steeped in southern atmosphere, adapted into a 2006 Lifetime movie I might brave watching.

as a moderate centrist I believe in a grand compromise wherein the state security forces doing ethnic cleansing agree to reforms whereby they perpetrate 50% fewer broad daylight murders of whomever angers or distresses them and I'm willing to fund those forces lavishly to do it

they didn’t leak it to make the shooter look innocent, but to make the victim look guilty. not guilty of a crime. guilty of having a visibly queer wife. guilty of liberalism. guilty of opposing the regime. they don’t seek to exonerate themselves, only to demonstrate who deserves to die.
In the video that the shooter took, which I believe was leaked to be exculpatory, he appears to yell “fucking bitch” after he shoots Renee Good.

Like those before it, that insane, vile DHS statement about the Minneapolis shooting isn't about covering anything up. It's performative lying.
They aren't trying to persuade anyone that their agents did nothing wrong. They're trying to project that their agents can get away with anything.
