    The worst thing about this guy getting beaten up was that it had nothing to do with his actions at DOGE. It was just some random muggers.

      Why did he take his shirt off before the blood happened? Sure seems like he picked a fight with children and lost.

      Entitled white boys are only out that late soliciting prostitutes or buying coke. He got knocked out because he was doing some dumb shit.

        Well he shouldn’t have been out that late and he probably was doing something illegal anyway

        We are getting into some real victim blaming territory

            That’s exactly why I’m bothered about this. And besides, it’s not like the person wasn’t a shitbag without it, why bother making up extra justification

          He’s not a victim, he’s a psychopathic predator who caught a karma ricochet. It should have been worse.

            That’s fine, I’m just saying the “shouldn’t have been out that late and was probably a criminal anyway” is eerily close to what is said when people are victim blaming. Better just say that he deserved it for being a shit person

              It’s not a matter of “he’s probably a criminal anyway,” he’s something far worse that a criminal. There no “probably” about it. He’s a psychopathic traitor who actively, enthusiastically attacked/ damaged/ destroyed/ stole, etc. extremely valuable and sensitive agencies and data, and he deserves life in prison.

                i’m talking about this

                Entitled white boys are only out that late soliciting prostitutes or buying coke

                And another one in the same thread

                wouldn’t be surprised if he propositioned the children.

                Like that’s just making up shit to justify things, similar to how often there’s that “why was the black guy out that late, probably selling drugs” shit. Why bother when you can just point to the actual shit this guy has done

                  He’s a psycho traitor scumbag, of course he was out doing psycho traitor scumbag stuff. Every moment that he breathes, he’s doing something to hurt every person in the country. We have no obligation to treat him like he’s a decent person who deserves the benefit of the doubt.

                  MAGA Nazis fully invent the most heinous lies about good people, speculating about what this traitor was doing is perfectly acceptable.

                    It’s just so unnecessary to make up scenarios to justify shit when there’s more than enough justification as is.

            Buy don’t you see the circumstances of the situation matters? A black man being beat up by police on his way home late one night after buying diapers for his toddler, sounds pretty awful and unjust right? Well turns out it was Clarence Thomas. Cool he got beat, but still makes it an unjust and disgusting crime that needs to be punished. Especially when they thought it was just some random easy target.

          Eh, he victimized millions of people already, lied repeatedly about his story, the cops lied to support him. He isn’t the victim, he’s the asshole.

              Alright, that’s fair.

              For me I think it’s more that nothing about the official story makes sense. It seems much more likely he was being a shithead and got punched while shopping. What he was shopping for should be largely irrelevant.

              It’s similar to other conservative hypocrisies.

      Can you name any other bad things about it? Seems like a good time to me, hope it happens to more of the administration.
