There appear to have been lots of clues pointing directly to him, and just based on looking at him, even if he didn’t do this, he’s probably done a lot of other bad things.

Oh, and Republican gubernatorial candidate Darren Bailey told people to move on and celebrate the 4th, even though the shooting did happen in a wealthy, mostly white suburb. I thought about putting this link in the Pit, but decided this is appropriate too.
