      Someone commented that they’re REALLY trying to take a bad photo of him. Literally anything they can play off as malicious, unhinged, or even “thuggish,” but every single time the man pulls a barney stinson. They tried putting him in a suicide smock (which I strongly question, even in psychiatry I’ve only had to use one a handful of times in almost ten years). They even tazed him until he pissed himself and he’s standing tall with his chin up. The man cannot take a bad photo and while I hate to say it’s true it probably will actuality give him an advantage in the court proceedings.

      In addition to a long stream of journalists waiting for the suspect to appear, members of the public - almost all of them young women - were in court, some of whom told CBS, the BBC’s US partner, that they were there to show their support.

        They’re really trying to say that “Oh he’s handsome, that’s why people like him.”

        No it’s not his looks, it’s the fact that he lit the fires of rebellion just be being accused of this act of self-defense.

          Ain’t hurtin’ his case though. Imagine the incels:

          Classrooms are for pricks, boardrooms get chicks.

          Classrooms get you shade, boardrooms get you laid.

          Classrooms are for pussies, boardrooms get pussy.
