.@AOC is deeply correct about this.

This honestly feels like a new low: not being able to clearly condemn a public murder because the victim was of a social status some would deem “too low” to care about. The last sentence is especially rich from an admin trying to cut the very services that could have helped him.

Bullshit. It’s a straw man. No one is arguing that we shouldn’t condemn his death because he was “too low” to care about. We are arguing that we shouldn’t condemn his death because he was an immediate threat to those in his vicinity.

And, for this tweet alone, you should be expunged by the peoples vote from future political runs.
Replying to @marwilliamson @AOC
Seems like the left want this to be treated as a murder, or even a lynching. While the right wants no charges at all. When in fact, on the face of it, it's a clear manslaughter charge. But we can't be reasonable, we have to dig in on the extreme takes.

Arrested 44 times. He was not a good person, sorry.

I need to see the source, what evidence do you have of intent here?
Replying to @marwilliamson @AOC
He wasn’t just a “low social status” person, is completely disengenous to label like that someone with over 40 arrests.

The higher the value of money the lower the value of people. I will write @marwilliamson in if y’all don’t let me vote for her, and I’m a 43 year old redneck from #SouthCarolina

Probably has less to do with his social status and more to do with the fact that he has a history of violence
