Sigh. This asshole just provided justification to tons of genocide supporters and set the conversation back. Thanks, dipshit.

Can we leave New York alone for a bit? We’re already getting every Marvel villain now we gotta deal with terrorism too?

Quit complaining, cause the aliens are coming in next, probes blazing.

ACAB, it’s not complicated. The A stands for All. Catching a terrorist does not absolve you of all judgement

Khan was arrested by Canadian police near the border in Quebec

Yes, ACAB. Any actions taken by the police are for either protecting the interests of the wealthy and powerful, enforcing traditional/societal norms, or they’re basically a PR stunt. A terrorist attack in New York would potentially harm wealthy people, not to mention Wall Street and the larger economy. so it had to be stopped.
