  • I’m pretty sure that’s exactly what happened here.

    The odds of finding the real culprit after they’ve already eluded capture for 5+ days are extremely low.

    Additionally, the evidence they supposedly found on him is extremely suspicious:

    1. An untraceable gun that he allegedly kept on him the entire time even though the shooter discarded everything else.
    2. A confession note that starts by talking about how much he respects the cops.

    That doesn’t just sound like the sort of thing that would be planted on him… that sounds like the sort of thing that would be planted on him by an idiot.

    Unless they have actual body cam footage of them catching him and finding the evidence, I have to assume he was framed.


  • The shortest distance between two points on a globe isn’t a straight line, but rather a curve.

    If a plane travelled in a straight line (as projected on the map) it would actually be going a longer distance.

    You can actually see this for yourself if you hold a piece of string around a ball. If you move the string to be slightly curved it will be able to stretch further on the ball.


  • I assume the highlighted region is meant to call out the fact that they’re claiming a metaphorical expression isn’t being used metaphorically.

    Yes, that’s incredibly stupid, and yes the entire letter is pro-hate propaganda.

    However, I think it’s important to also call out something else about the phrase “wiped of the map”…

    It’s an English language idiomatic expression.

    Idiomatic expressions are language specific.

    When you see a quote attributed to someone speaking Farsi, and it includes English idiomatic expressions, you can be fairly certain the translation is complete bullshit, and whoever created the translation is trying to manipulate you.
