Variation on the theme: would you ever tell your child “You weren’t worth it.”
OP assuming you are asking for a reason, my view after some time is that when a parent make a statement like that it reflects more about the parent than the child.
Ah yes… Terror high… My go to way to unwind after a week in the wage mines
Agree that’s the tactic being used now and that was used then.
Disagree with the quote attribution, which in context of the post seems important enough to mention.
Tbh… This split perfectly represents why there is no going back to how it was before. There is only whatever comes next and the battle to shape that. Anyone that was hoping for a return to pre-Trump America needs to come to terms with this and pick a side (and hopefully realize there is more than two to pick from)
Along with rest, how much sleep are you getting. I kept up a similar pace for about 2 years before life commitments required scaling back. When I felt as you are describing I was not getting enough sleep.
Health reasons is my understanding. Belle is hitting her stride though.
You are not your job, you’re not how much money you have in the bank. You are not the car you drive. You’re not the contents of your wallet. You are not your fucking khakis. You are all singing, all dancing crap of the world.
But seriously… it sounds like you were letting the outside world define you. Maybe use the silence to try to define yourself from the inside out?
What do you want to fill the silence?
Bring your receipts.
Show your sources that for all human history things have been one specific way. Don’t forget to adjust for the fact that your education, media, socialization are all geared towards the current economic system and therefore are slanted to reinforce norms that feed that system.
Whether there is a legal justification depends on a jury. Sorry you don’t like it but it’s how the law works. I suggest you try to learn about the things you have opinions on.
First off- yes, this scab deserves what they get.
But, assume for one second that the “leaked manifesto” is legit. Then the point is was to get caught and go to trial. The gambit is jury nullification in this matter would remove the disincentive for this to happen again. When a capitalist gets too greedy and they create a substantial risk that you will be similarly dealt with and the local community will sanction it.
It just occurred in the reverse ideological context with Jordan Neely’s death (murder). In that context, NYC mental health workers are concerned it is now “open season” on their clients. Here, it would be open season on their capitalist class.
Other than the rapid growth of the personal security industry. I would expect to see further concentration of wealth into specific areas to create jury pools that would be stacked in favor of protecting capital. Either that or the criminal justice system will collapse.
To tie back into the post, assuming this was intentional, then if it wasn’t McSnitch it was just a matter of time till someone else ratted. I guess the real disappointment is that the reward was so low when they did. Shows how disorganized the labor class really is.
NYS Penal Law SECTION 35.15 Justification; use of physical force in defense of a person
Whether or not he is a murderer depends on whether the DA can meet their burden of proving he committed the acts necessary to satisfy the elements of NYS definition of whatever degree of murder the Grand Jury indicts (if that happens) AND he is not able to establish the affirmative defense of justification.
None of these determinations have been made yet.
I gotta ask, are you a time traveler or a boot licker?
After he is arraigned (first appearance before a judge) AND assuming bail is set in an amount he cannot pay AND that he is held in Rikers (HUGE safety concerns) you can look him up here and then send money for commissary and sometimes pay bail.

I believe you must provide personally identifying information to send money/pay. There is no guarantee that the City won’t try to find a way to seize money sent.
Edit: typo
Is he repped yet? If not and anyone knows how to get in touch with his people please contact me. I have a line on a few free attorneys that take cases of this magnitude.
Hey genius… Ben Crump is a free lawyer off the internet. Maybe instead of shooting down offers to help you take your head out of your ass.
Any paid Manhattan attorney has more in common with the CEO. This guy needs a real street fighter. Not some prissy bitch.
Of course not. If the first move on a chess board was to simply take your opponent’s king, that would always be the first move in every game.
Having the midterm vote suppressed is just one sacrificial pawn in the direction of what needs to be done to eradicate fascism.
Knowing what to do isn’t that valuable if you don’t time it correctly. It’s not just one person or party. It is systemic and requires a critical mass of history to be successful.
