I both publicly and privately think it’s very plausible, maybe even likely, that he didn’t do it, or at the very least a lot of the evidence was planted.

I can still use his imagery and name because it’s a good rallying cry whether he did it or not: if he did do it, it was an act of defiance against an industry that’s harmed millions, and if he didn’t then he’s a symbol showing the system desperate to stamp out resistance to the rule of oligarchs. Actually… He’s that second one either way, too.

But anyway, he couldn’t have done it because he was at my place grilling that day.
