I agree with not releasing it, but only inasmuch as I don't think those documents should ever be released until a criminal investigation has either completed or stalled for an indefinite period of time.

Of course, the flipside is that my trust for government and its institutions is at such an all-time low, that maybe the opposite is better anymore, and leave everything transparent to public scrutiny.

I’ll acknowledge it’s incredibly dark to speculate on what narrative will be formed around a tragic event. But the police body cam footage is out there and it’s worlds different than the Uvalde mess. Making the story about hero cops is probably what it’ll be rather than focusing on the psycho they took down.

I mean, there's no "criminal investigation" here and these cases very rarely have them at all.

Them trying to suppress it makes them look bad.  Like why would you suppress a manifesto of a child killer? it makes you look complicit as a group especially without knowing what's inside of it.

Their long game strategy is nill and I'd say weighing things there would be less hate for lgbtq individuals if the manifesto is released than suppressing it. With the manifesto people can just point at this one lunatic and case closed. In their decision to censor through force, however, not only was the shooter trans but the lgbt groups don't want the manifesto released, showing that maybe they're all lunatics. Bad decision.

This is your brain on Marxism, activism, and victim identity politics.

Ideological opponents will be milking this for ages. Thanks for the gift, LGBTQ.

Considering the nature of the case the manifesto could contain personal information so that might be the reason they don't want to release it (yet).

Although it wouldn't surprise me if a USB drive containing the manifesto ends up in Rudy Guliani's golf caddie's White Russian.

Police still need to investigate to make sure there is no need for charges to be laid against anyone else though.

Shock news!!!

Decent Pixar movie is top streaming movie in all households!!

Why the fuck wouldn't it be?

These people really do go around thinking that white people see non-white leads and immediately turn away.

Not to mention they retroactively labeled Top Gun: Maverick a 'surefire hit' even though most (soft) reboots, remakes and movies that relied on nostalgia fell flat on their face over the years (TRON Legacy (by the same director even), Blade Runner 2049, Jason Bourne, Ad Astra, Solo, Hellboy, The Mummy(with Tom Cruise even), Terminator: Dark Fate, The Last Duel, Ghostbusters, The Matrix 4 etc.) and it was anything but certain Top Gun: Maverick would resonate with 'modern audiences' who were pretty much only interested in comic book movies. Top Gun's performance was up in the air prior to its release with an expected big opening and a quick drop off. No one expected it would be the biggest movie of 2022.

Old IP's and nostalgia were such a big gamble that part 2 of Villeneuve's DUNE wasn't even greenlit until after it was a success.

Maverick was only successful because there was almost literally NOTHING playing in the cinema for almost 2 years prior.

Maverick will be looked back on in 10 years and people will not understand why it was labelled as "saving cinema distribution".
