Just as in 1865 and 1963, the pundits are getting way ahead of the evidence. Rush to judgment seems to be happening again and I think before anyone should start claiming which competing ideology was behind the killing we should probably confirm the evidence that this fellow is actually the shooter and not merely some patsy... like at Butler... like at Dealey... like Ford's Theater. Some shit doesn't need to keep being repeated.

Nothing changes because no one learns from those histories. Early reports had him living at home, other early reports had him living in an apartment. One early report got wind of both and just published both as if it was a normal living arrangement. A bit like Oswald once again. A boarding house where no one knew him by his real name and Ruth's Irving hideaway of a weekend - which was the address he always gave - and where he was spotted shopping locally on a Wednesday.

I don't think anyone but the public wants the facts to come out. There is too much propaganda mileage to be made in the current confusion of stories for both sides of politics.
