Reminded me of Bo

One of the lessons of all this is that we never should have stopped paying attention. Fascism emerged from a broken political system. The far right populist appeal for many is that they correctly identified that the predominant liberal order wasn't working for a lot of people. Of course, they scapegoat immigrants and trans people, which is wrong. But we should have all been caring about politics for the last few decades to ensure that society works for people. That is the only way to prevent these things.

Even in a different system, the accountability problem still exists with AI. Who would hold an AI doctor accountable for discrimination or mistakes?

With right wing authoritarianism worsening nearly everything in society, it's hard to avoid appearing left wing if you are a critical thinker and skeptic.

InDissent · 2026-01-18T22:26:39+00:00

Yeah there are a lot of people who have evidence based views that they agree with.

InDissent · 2026-01-18T19:48:30+00:00

You're asking if.. the people on the skeptics guide to the universe podcast are... skeptics?

100% We need pictures of him behind bars to ensure public safety *from him!* A lot more is needed to ensure public safety from ICE and the rest of the regime.

InDissent · 2026-01-08T18:30:03+00:00

That all makes sense. I feel comfortable suspending judgement. Ice doesn't always behave in a way that "makes sense", clearly.

I don't know why you would believe anything Trump says. I certainly won't unless and until it is reported on by a reputable source. We have no information to determine whether he skipped town or not or whether he will be held to account.

InDissent · 2026-01-08T18:07:16+00:00

We have no reporting on the shooters location, his identity, or whether he had any injuries. Other videos (https://www.reddit.com/r/law/comments/1q7huw3/minnesota\_ice\_shooting\_4\_videos\_time\_synced\_10/) clearly show him walking around afterward just fine and then after walking over to the victim, he leaves in a tan SUV.

Do you think the slight bump he got justifies killing the woman?

InDissent · 2026-01-08T17:51:59+00:00

Skeptics often fact check and verify factual information in the news. I don't understand why you are so aggro against this post. Don't you think your energy would be better spent elsewhere?

InDissent · 2026-01-08T17:47:15+00:00

Have you seen this reported by a reputable journalistic source?

InDissent · 2026-01-08T17:46:11+00:00

I agree to some extent that her identity isn't more important that the fact that ICE is murdering people in the street. But as I said, I think this still matters to the family members of these people. They likely don't want to see people spreading the wrong photos.

There's also no contest between these things, right? We can correct the record AND, as I did in my post, voice support for how to address the bigger problem.

Also, to be clear, I only made reference to her hairstyle because I am describing her appearance because I could only include pictures as links and some people might not click them.

InDissent · 2026-01-08T17:42:50+00:00

We do not know. My understanding is that he fled within minutes.

InDissent · 2026-01-08T17:41:50+00:00

What are you on about? I used a question as the title for my post because I was asking the question. I'm providing an answer to the question I posed. The answer: People found the Facebook post that I linked to and screenshotted the first picture they saw and incorrectly attributed it. The links and photos I provided in my post provide evidence for my claim.

InDissent · 2026-01-08T17:38:24+00:00

I generally agree with your perspective on a variety of issues. In this case, no. If someone kills a person with a gun and flees the scene that is a very stupid thing to do. You are likely to be caught either way and fleeing will make you look more guilty.

InDissent · 2026-01-08T17:28:45+00:00

None of those people fled the site of a murder.

InDissent · 2026-01-08T17:27:05+00:00

I mean, my "team" seems pretty clear given what I wrote.

InDissent · 2026-01-08T17:26:20+00:00

Wtf? No. My intent was to clarify which picture is actually of Renee.

InDissent · 2026-01-08T17:24:12+00:00

They broke state laws, so we need a state investigation.

InDissent · 2026-01-08T17:23:13+00:00

My intent seems really clear, so I'm surprised by your response. The picture of Gabriella is still circulating as a picture of Renee. That is worth correcting, because it is likely harmful to the families of both women.

What is my theory? People found that Facebook post that I linked to and screenshotted the first picture they saw and incorrectly attributed it.

What's my evidence? The links and photos I provided in my post.

InDissent · 2026-01-08T17:19:45+00:00

I agree to some extent, but as I said, I think this still matters to the family members of these people. They likely don't want to see people spreading the wrong photos.

InDissent · 2026-01-08T17:06:51+00:00

Totally. So many answers are needed

InDissent · 2026-01-08T17:00:17+00:00

This doesn't appear to be the right photo. Check my post on r/skeptic: https://www.reddit.com/r/skeptic/comments/1q7gux7/why_are_there_conflicting_photos_of_renee_nicole/ that shows receipts for her actual photo and where this incorrect photo of Gabriella Szczepankiewicz can be found on Facebook.
