IN AMERICA, MURDER HAS BECOME MAINSTREAM:
It’s not millionaire socialists such as Piker who pick up rifles to gun down Charlie Kirk or Zionist Jews or anyone else on the far-left’s hit list. Piker’s role is simply to create an environment in which others will act. He’s not alone: the hatred and hysteria whipped up to kill Kirk was fomented by countless small-time radical campaigners. They put a target on Kirk’s back by painting him as a threat to transgender people’s lives. The reality was that his own life was endangered – and was then taken by a gunman.
His slaughter is now a source of ongoing glee for the sort of people who listen to (and sing along with) Piker. There may be other forces at work in the brains of those who pity Lindsay Clancy, a child-killer without a political agenda. Yet it’s hard to avoid comparing her apologists with Luigi Mangione’s left-wing admirers. Mangione became a folk hero to anti-capitalist radicals after he killed UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson in December 2024. Clancy’s case lacks the overt ideological angle, but emotions run deeper than ideas. Mangione and Clancy have both benefited from a warped sense of sympathy for the underdog and greater identification with the killers’ plight than with that of the victims. It’s been argued that this is a projection of “Main Character Syndrome,” the narcissistic belief of many people, in this age of social media, that the whole world is nothing but a film in which they are the star.
Other people are not really real – they’re just extras, or stock villains (the heartless healthcare executive), or mere props to set up the psychodrama (Clancy’s dead children). Clancy’s five-year-old daughter and two sons, one three years old, the other just eight months, were too young to be main characters. But Clancy, like Mangione, looks like someone who might star in a TV drama where the obviously guilty defendant miraculously turns out to be innocent. That kind of story is so much easier to relate to than one in which a mother really does intend to kill her defenseless children, or one in which a leftist young man isn’t justified in his murderous rage against “the system.” When was the last time you saw anything like that on Netflix?
And here’s where things begin to intersect:
It’s amazing that these jurors not only fit every old white lib woman stereotype the internet assumed about them, but somehow managed to be exponentially worse. https://t.co/oaOEg0dsyx

Juror who wanted to give Lindsay Clancy a pass says about the hero juror who held the line.
"He had the hardest time getting off the fact Lindsay viciously killed her children"

Which means:
People are going to have to suck it up and stop trying to get out of jury duty or it’s going to be 100% girl boss activists who actively try and get on jury’s that will be deciding all our fates.
