    Not taking the feds at their word doesn't mean you automatically assume every single thing they say is false. Be could be the guy and there would still be plenty of reason to doubt their account. They could have planted evidence, or maybe they seek to frame true facts in a dishonest way. But rejecting everything they say in a vacuum is just as naive as accepting everything they say wholeheartedly.

    You have to take things as they come, look at them thoughtfully, within context, and come to informed conclusions. Not make knee-jerk reactions based purely on who's saying a thing. Sometimes bad people say true things. The world isn't a marvel movie.

    At any rate. Someone shot a healthcare CEO and people are stoked. If you're running around screaming at everyone that he didn't do it, you're missing the point. Use this as an excuse to raise class consciousness. And if one way to get people in the door is to post photos of a hot Italian guy, then you post the hot Italian.

    Any approach to this that doesn't end with raising class consciousness is a waste of time.
