    I always have a heightened sense of skepticism because of the fact that I came from an authoritarian and got lied to. PRC, Tiananmen, ya know the deal…

    That being said, I don’t think that every time the governemnt says something, its always a lie, or every time cops finds a perpetrator, its a scapegoat. Sometimes, government does tell the truth (keyword: “sometimes”). Sometimes, people do get caught.

    But in my brain, events are never recorded as “This is 100% true” but more like “This is probably true according to the information I know, but there’s also a chance it isnt real”

    Like, theres no way we even know if history is real. Maybe the entire human history was fabricated. We never know. But its really hard to go through life thinking “Everything is a lie” so I’ll just go with “Its probably true, but theres a chance it is a lie”

    Ya get what I’m saying?

    Nevertheless, whether this guy is the resl perpetrator or a scapegoat, ya bet I’d nullify this shit if I got on the Jury.
