Remember Richard Jewell and never assume the person you see being arrested is actually the one who did it.
Appears person filmed being arrested is not a suspect and suspect is not in custody. CNN reports that University now says single shot came from a building 200 yards away. Certainly suggests an experienced marksman.

This is ridiculous. I can oppose crime and still insist on due process rights for the accused. Saying it's "either/or" is a dystopian authoritarian lie.

I can’t believe this is real! It’s like the worst caricature of how the right says Soros does politics.
In a video posted by Elon Musk’s PAC, a $1M check recipient linked voting to receiving the money:
“My name’s Ekaterina Deistler. …I did exactly what Elon Musk told everyone to do: sign the petition, refer friends and family, vote, and now I have a million dollars.”

Russia presents its demands as concessions and then presses more demands and calls them guarantees of the first set. Ukraine understands this dynamic all too well. If Trump is Ru asset or an idiot, at least the free Western media can learn to cover things with their real names.
