PSL addresses alleged connection with Elias Rodriguez
(hexbear.net)
I think it’s a good statement, short and to the point. The replies are absolute poison though, hasbara bots really honing in on them. Feds will try and make something stick but it doesn’t sound like he was even a member.
They shouldn’t. I wouldn’t expect or want them to claim responsibility for the actions of an unaffiliated person who clearly acted without the benefit of collective organization or any expectation of personal survival. I’m just sad to see (in general) the same reflexive urge to proactively condemn people like this, or Luigi Mangioni, or Willem van Spronsen every time someone decides they’d rather risk their life alone doing something about the horrors than spend the rest of their lives watching them. The tragedy of these individual actions isn’t the actions, it’s that they didn’t have a hundred comrades at their side while they (allegedly) did them.
That's the difference between adventurism and organized armed resistance! When you're organized and militant, the comrades are right there with you by design and the impact can be much greater.
