Someone posted this on ssc with a warning about talking to cops, but really just marvel at what's going on here.
Aaronson manages to turn a story where he is briefly arrested for a theft (which he did commit on video!) into paragraphs and paragraphs of indulging in his persecution fantasies.
Zero empathy on display for the people he stole from, the people just doing their jobs, or reflection on the fact that it wasn't a simple little mistake anyone could make but rather... a fairly weird move? Do people usually put change in cups?

Here's the HN discussion (he's a bit of a hero there)

Lots of people lawyering that taking from a tip jar isn't stealing as the money technically does not belong to anyone lol.
There's some actual gold in there
Another good comment:
But no, it's just that the world is against Scott. It's not just feminist bloggers from the early 2010s, it's the cops, it's everyone.
