That’s gonna Streisand Effect like crazy.

Okay, but this really has nothing to do with what I’m talking about, which is that it is silly to assume this is definitely retribution over UHC.

You can hire someone who has never fired a gun before in their life to kill someone else. Which is also something that has happened before. People do things like pay their cousins to commit murder. And the person who gets paid can be really, really stupid.

I don’t really care. They suck ass. That doesn’t mean people here should be doing it.

Sorry, are you under the bizarre impression that ‘true’ and ‘fact’ are different things?

People are sure acting like they have strictly concluded it.

No, that’s not what it means. You are redefining it. Hypothetical would be fine though.

Maybe you should have at least read the name of the URL. I didn’t say that this has anything to do with Palestine.

Please, if you’re not going to read the article, at least read the name of the URL and then respond to me accordingly.

Assumptions are claimed to be established facts. That’s what an assumption is. You’re making a claim of fact without having the evidence.

It’s also unwise to come to a conclusion when the person who did it hasn’t even been identified.

The media absolutely does that. And they should not. But a bunch of pundits speculating is apparently something people enjoy watching and reading, so they do it anyway.

I’m not sure why you think just because the media does it, it’s a good thing.

As I said to someone else, do you really believe this was done by pro-Palestine activists?

It is silly to make assumptions based on three words. It’s especially silly to assume someone isn’t smart enough to make police think they’re not the guilty party.

but ridership is actually higher than ever.

If you mean by hard numbers, that would also be disingenuous because the population is far higher now than it was in 1979- 225.1 million vs. 345.4 million.

But if you mean as a percentage of population, that’s different.

Ah, my mistake. Thanks.

You make a good point, but I wouldn’t use The Atlantic Council as a source considering who their chairman is: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_F._W._Rogers

It takes “5D chess” to write vague words on bullet casings?

I wish I had realized that sooner. Also, I see they pulled the “some of my best friends are homos” card.

Got it. You’re a troll. Sorry I wasted my time.

Blame Amtrak. I got the image from their website.

I am guessing you do not know enough about him personally to know what is the most probable. Maybe he very openly cheats on his wife. That would make his wife hiring a hit man very probable. Maybe he’s swindled someone out of a ton of money on a personal level rather than via UHC. Again, that would make a good motive to kill him.

We do not have enough information here and pretending we do is not very wise.
