I knew you needed no further explanation.

I am very upset about Breonna Taylor’s killing

So much that you've spent an inordinate amount of time and effort engaging in nitpicky defense of her murderers.

Go fuck yourself you presumptuous asshole.

Nothing I have said defends the officers who killed Breonna Taylor, and your words do not make that a reality.

You keep going on about how utterly vitally important it was that she wasn't asleep. As though focusing on that is more important than how she was murdered by police.

Because she was murdered. By police. Who got away with it. But her life and justice matter less to you than your obsession with minutiae.

This is a mischaracterization of what I am doing. I am simply responding to people like you who seem to think the specifics of a situation do not matter. They in fact do.

If you were raging at me that she was not murdered, I would engage with you about that, but that is not what is happening. Why you've felt the need to come at me says more about you than about me.

But her life and justice matter less to you than your obsession with minutiae.

Another complete mischaracterization of what I have said. You have done nothing but rage at me and make assumptions. I can care about two things at the same time.

I will repeat myself again and say go fuck yourself.

If you say so. I don't feel like arguing with the same sort of person who made reddit what it is.
