I thought they were suggesting it was a government body (an FBI operation)
- phyzome 10mo agoI think they don't have sufficient evidence on that, and they're just wondering if the timing is coincidence or not. (And there are many ways the two could be connected -- it wouldn't have to be a direct FBI op.)
- trimethylpurine 10mo agoI understood that they suspect a lone unknown criminal, and that they filed a police report based on that suspicion.
- permo-w 10mo agomy understanding of the article is that they suspect FBI involvement based on the timing but don't have any concrete evidence to support it
- trimethylpurine 10mo agoI appreciate so much the pragmatist's approach to their methods. They mentioned the coincidence and that they had no evidence to support that hypothesis. They did not accuse anyone of anything, they only requested investigation. I'm stating this because I think it might be the most important distinction in our lifetime. I think that wars are fought, lives are lost, and maybe even society itself will be lost, on that distinction and those of its like.
- permo-w 10mo agobit dramatic but arguably true. then again most of the time when people make such accusations that lead to conflict, they do it while punching downwards. here they're likely being careful not to make the accusation mostly for fear of the wrath of the FBI. if it it were someone a little less fearsome perhaps they'd be less careful
