This man, whom I used to greatly admire as a computer science student, is...a sociopath.

“Who was paying her to protest?”

Is a question only asked by someone who can’t imagine doing anything out of moral conviction, rather than money & power.

I don’t think attempting a 3 point turn is an act of domestic terrorism that warrants an immediate execution.

@dfossier Hate to give you the engagement you want but I hope you find god and he removes that hate from your heart. This post is borderline sociopathic. No thinking feeling person would say this in the wake of someone’s death. Get offline and find your humanity.

There is no art without the process.
