Finished reading „The Lost Cause“ by @pluralistic
Excellent read and as usual quite on top of the current problems—climate change in this case.

@pluralistic Why did Brookes go back to wipe down the guns? Couldn’t they have said they snatched the guns from the attackers during the escape? He could’ve even said they were stolen when his old house got burgled.
I mean I get that as written in the book way he couldn’t be connected without a doubt to the guns… but still…

@root42 @pluralistic that's the "You can't prove it was me because IP addresses are dynamically-assigned by the ISP" defense and it's really not a good one.

@stripey @pluralistic yes, I agree. It’s a weak defense. But still they could have argued to have acted in self defense.
