Yeah, well considering there's currently an even split of upvotes and downvotes, I guess I should "cure" my previous statement and say "controversial opinion"

I'm gonna dig that hole a bit deeper and say:

Many conservatives want to say Ashli was shot because they want their own Floyd, an injustice to rally around. I think she was shot because the media wanted us to have our own "Floyd". They wanted us to react hyper-negatively and get more violent so they had justification for a larger crackdown - but the problem is we're both more controlled and more cowardly/aware of the government clapback that would happen if we were to chimp out over her death. That didn't stop them from trying though.
