The money raised for him is sickening. I do understand this point, but to use language like many, most, or the vast majority is just misleading and wrong. You’re seeing the world through such a narrow lens. The whole thing is manufactured outrage orchestrated by loud idiots and inflated by bots. Most ppl haven’t even heard the name before the news broke, and the general consensus I’ve seen is “he deserves jail”
I think claims of manufactured outrage and bot inflation are epistemically dishonest speculation that serve to gaslight and obfuscate the real cause (the narcissism that is foundational to western white culture) and offload responsibility from the vast majority of white Americans that celebrate violence against black people and do not think black people have a right to self defense
