The prosecutor just asked him if he was inspired by “first person shooter videogames” where “the objective is to kill as many people as possible”

He’s 100% getting away with it.

EDIT: his testimony continues, new link here: https://youtu.be/YfrUopNUSIk

EDIT 2: The judge just denied the admission of a key prosecution video exhibit because "pinching and zooming on an ipad inserts extra pixels" and he won't allow the exhibit unless the prosecution can find an expert witness to testify that it won't corrupt the image. He's given him 20 minutes to find such a witness

    Man that would have saved us all a lot of trouble. But also might have made him a martyr? Who fucking knows. It certainly would've been my preferred outcome. Now we get a long drawn out trial, where the narrative that the rioters (NOT “victims”) got what they deserved is going to get blasted all over the media for weeks by his defense, and by the court itself when he’s eventually acquitted.

      I don’t really give a shit about giving them a martyr. They’ll do the same shit regardless. They want a martyr? Okay, kill him and give them one then. At least then the fucking fascist psycho won’t go free to kill more innocent people.
