Somehow this is the only country on earth where this seems to happen. When talking about shootings involving guns, okay, fine, the US is certainly an outlier there, but every country has cars and police.

This is murder.

    Exactly, saying things like she was “murdered in cold blood” doesn’t help anyone, because you’re that far off the deep end nobody outside of your echo chamber will take you seriously.

    There have been a few people reply to me saying that, despite what happened, the police could and should have done something different. And they’re probably right, I don’t know how we got from shoplifting to this, but there were probably opportunities to defuse the situation.

    But calling her innocent is simply untrue.

      Fun fact: she wasn’t the shoplifter. They didn’t find the stolen goods in her car.
