Unless more evidence appears, I'm more inclined to believe the person who didn't shoot anyone, even when they had plenty of opportunity to do so (in self defense no less) and have a history of protecting others.

Ye which is why I'm inclined to believe the non-killer's story rather than the ones with the most incentive to lie
The victim blaming with assumed narratives no less, is astounding.
We require a valid email for registration as an anti-spam measure, but you can garble the email afterwards.
A single blurry still doesn't pose a convincing argument that he was or wasn't pointing the weapon towards the crowds.
We don't go around making plausible reasons and then asking the victim to prove them wrong. Maybe the killers are lying to cover their ass?
Facts on the ground is: Arturo didn't shoot anyone, had a right to carry, a bystander was killed by the "good guys" and Arturo was shot himself. Nothing in all of this proves that Arturo was a danger to anyone.
Maybe he panicked? Maybe he didn't want to hit bystanders. None of us have been shot before, but from all I know, all rational thought easily goes out the window.
Israel’s element of surprise was enhanced by Iranian officials’ apparent assumption that Israel wouldn’t attack while talks over its rapidly advancing nuclear program were ongoing with the U.S.
That smells like a "he's coming right for us" bullshit report.
I had something similar in Germany.
Yes, unfortunately this is why the software itself enforces such rigid hierarchies.
posting anti-tankie and anti-electoralism stuff in an Anarchism comm is one of the easiest way to generate infinite salt.

Honey, new rule just dropped:
This is an anarchist comm. You don’t have to be an anarchist to post, but you should at least understand what anarchism actually is. We’re not here to teach you.
This means that comments mischaracterizing anarchism, such as conflating it with anomie or even worse, fascism will be removed and the user banned (time depends on how bad faith or trollish they appear to be). Ain't nobody got time to teach every lib in the world under every shitpost.
Likewise, if you find the memes in this comm disagreeable from a liberal or marxist perspective, realize they're not for you. Yes, we're going to be unapologetically anti-electoralist and anti-state-capitalist. Deal with it, or block the comm. We reserve the right to get rid of people who continuously start arguments about "lesser evils" and shit.

Yesterday, an unexpected admin post was made announcing that hexbear would be shutting down and recreating two of their most popular communities (a): the_dunk_tank and dredge_tank. For those who are not aware, those two are some of the most notorious comms in the threadiverse which routinely cause inter-lemmy drama (disclaimer, the deteriorating relations between our instance and hexbear and my own ban from hexbear was ultimately triggered by various posts in the_dunk_tank)
The stated reason was to promote more thoughtful discussions and to prevent a white cishet mindset which was apparently promoted by the content in those comms, according to the mods and admins.
Within a day 1.3 thousand comments were made with hexbear regulars upset at this decision and discussing within.
However, before this announcement, the top admin of hexbear posted in the cross-lemmy admin matrix chat urging other admins to close down their "drama communities" as well.
Hexbears caught wind of this and quickly accused the admin of duplicity, and having other motives instead of their stated ones. The admin in question as defense admitted that it was their attempt to manipulate other lemmy instance admins and it backfired on them
After a whole day of this, the main admin decided to step away from hexbear (a) , followed by more resignations (a)
In the midst of this, people realize another old-mod had recently come back after a 3-year hiatus, and now people start suspecting some correlation. That mod makes a public post (a) before shortly after deleting their account.
There's also smaller pieces of chaos ongoing, such as one admin, banning one of their alts "as a bit" using wording that they were not aware is misgendering ("fella") which caused other hexbears to pile on. Eventually that was resolved, and admins are asked to tone down the "bit doing" during this heated period.
This "struggle session" is still ongoing, with people are asking the resigned mod to come back , and other admins unbanning accounts which were getting banned left and right(a) but it seems those popular comms still remain shut down.
Do you know just how unreliable witness reports in traumatic situations are? We have no clue what actually happened.
