I fully expect these people to be on Tucker w/in a week of their making bail.

This is good snark, but probably not actually so. The whole trajectory of the Kyle case was a perfect fit for making him the Right-Wing Republican Hero And (Almost) 2nd Amendment Martyr.

The guys who got convicted in the Arbery case, the Waukesha parade crasher, and now these crummy guys, didn’t and won’t get that kind of positive traction.
