A hit squad of US marshals assassinated Michael Reinoehl in 2020, in case anyone thinks the right have stopped assassinating their enemies.

They never announced themselves

“The actions of the officers, before, during, and after the shooting, show that they either had no plan to arrest the man without injury, made no effort to follow such a plan, or planned to use deadly force from the start,” the lawsuit states.

they were assassinating a lot of people in the 60s. JFK, MLK, Malcolm X.

I still think Soviet-trained Cuban paramilitary killed JFK

I know that there is evidence pointing towards this conclusion but honestly I always considered this to be one of the least likely of the conspiracies to be true. Mostly because I don't think the US would let that slide especially under the Johnson and Nixon administrations. It's too hard hitting of a propaganda piece to ignore.

I think it was a mixture of Lee Harvey and the Secret Service. LPOtL did a 6 parter on it and this is the conclusion they came out to. Seems pretty likely since those were the two types of rounds found at the scene.

Which is why it's plausible. We can't ever admit a foreign agent was involved which is why we have the magic bullet bs.

I'll never understand why people think you need a horde of secret ninja gunmen and not just one guy with a good rifle. If there was a conspiracy, it was one that got Harvey (or someone else...) into place.

Something he would actually say.

Thank you. Didn't know that guy.

Fred Hampton was deputy chairman of the national Black Panther party, chair of the Illinois chapter, and a Marxist-Leninist. He also founded the Rainbow Coalition which organized Black Panthers(blacks), Young Patriots(whites), and Young Lords(hispanics) under a banner of anti-racism and anti-classism.

There's obviously a lot more to him but I think this sums it up relatively well

Short and informative, thank you.
