To the extent that they care or know about the occupation of DC to what extent did uh... "big balls" getting jumped play a role in making them feel it was justified?
I ask because the way Trump tied the military occupation of the capital to a particular crime reminds me of the Central Park Jogger and the fame he gained for calling for the random boys they picked up to be killed.
I don't know anyone who is following it in that way but I wonder.

This rallying of a mob around a single crime is a very old and ugly American ritual. Although normally the victim would be a woman.
(I guess they couldn't find a crime like that? anyways. )

The right-wing sources i saw were spinning it as Big Balls being swarmed by a pack of "young thugs" (translation, for those who need it: Black teens) in defence of his girlfriend, who stayed in the car. So they definitely have been playing the oldest card, white femininity threatened by Blackness.

You may have seen postcards of this type of thing. That is what incited Tuscon.
I'm curious if it's working in the same way. Even with the Central Park jogger back in the 80s they dynamic had changed. Some people were big mad, but they would let the legal system sort it out. (and it got it wrong... so... what does that say?)
To be clear, I *don't* think the kids they arrested for jumping mr. big balls are being set up. And they are in trouble.

IDK if "protecting girl in the car" will get their blood up.
And I read that was a lie but really I didn't pay much attention to it. Nobody died or was even badly hurt. For all we know he got in a fight and lost.
Or maybe he got mugged IDK.

“normally the victim would be a woman”
There’s enough misogynistic hatred in this movement that even the usual white woman victim doesn’t sit well with them, not surprising at all that they’re using a young pasty white techbro as their icon.

I guess that's another reason they don't like "me too" it re-frames violence against women not as a problem of "destroying our most precious property" but you know, running the lives of people who are ... people.
