Curious that snopes already had THREE threads 'debunking' this before there was even a police report publicly released on the facts.
The DC police have been forthcoming with the facts as they have become known starting the day after the killing.
Not to mention, the Snopes article itself is suffused with as much conjecture, speculation, and 'implied guilt by association' as any anti-Clinton hack blog.
Maybe it has something to do with the fact that the entire, "Hillary kilt a Seth Rich on this tree" story has been concocted by a far-right conspiracy blogger who's been pushing the (also debunked) "Clinton Body Bags" story which posits that every time Hillary Clinton is off-camera, she's committing at least two or three murders.
And it's not just Snopes that has debunked all this:
Airplanes fly through this thing called air. Cars drive on winding, non-level roads with potholes and other deformations. Air is relatively empty, and you don't need to worry much about oncoming traffic.
There is the little difference about being way up in the air vs being safely on the ground.
You are a perfect illustration of the problem Tesla faces. You think you know what an airplane's autopilot does, based solely on the name, but you have no real clue.
Commercial airline pilots have their hands on the controls during takeoff and landing. That's it. Yes, they're looking at the instruments now and then, but not continually. I know this because I have asked a guy who flies for American for 18 years.
Why don't you demonstrate the clue that you apparently have about autopilot? Light a fucking candle instead of cursing the darkness. And why doesn't Tesla simply call it, "Cruise Control Plus" or something catchy like that instead of giving people the wrong idea?
And the work self-employed people do does not just benefit themselves.
Of course, you're right. We live in an economic system designed so that all value flows upward.
So yes, even the self-employed work in order to allow the ownership class to not have to work.
To quote Bertrand Russell again,
“From the beginning of civilization until the Industrial Revolution, a man could, as a rule, produce by hard work little more than was required for the subsistence of himself and his family, although his wife worked at least as hard as he did, and his children added their labor as soon as they were old enough to do so. The small surplus above bare necessaries was not left to those who produced it, but was appropriated by warriors and priests. . . . A system which lasted so long and ended so recently has naturally left a profound impress upon men’s thoughts and opinions. Much that we take for granted about the desirability of work is derived from this system, and, being pre-industrial, is not adapted to the modern world. Modern technique has made it possible for leisure, within limits, to be not the prerogative of small privileged classes, but a right evenly distributed throughout the community. The morality of work is the morality of slaves, and the modern world has no need of slavery.
It is obvious that, in primitive communities, peasants, left to themselves, would not have parted with the slender surplus upon which the warriors and priests subsisted, but would have either produced less or consumed more. At first, sheer force compelled them to produce and part with the surplus. Gradually, however, it was found possible to induce many of them to accept an ethic according to which it was their duty to work hard, although part of their work went to support others in idleness. By this means the amount of compulsion required was lessened, and the expenses of government were diminished. To this day, 99 per cent of British wage-earners would be genuinely shocked if it were proposed that the King should not have a larger income than a working man. The conception of duty, speaking historically, has been a means used by the holders of power to induce others to live for the interests of their masters rather than for their own.“
What about that proves he wasn't set up with a fake FBI meeting? Maybe he went to the meeting location, no one was there, and he was going home and was ambushed?
Maybe it was aliens. HILLARY IS USING ALIENS FOR CONTRACT KILLINGS! IT'S HAPPENING!
Sadly, it seems Snopes is squandering away any credibility they once had.
Readers, it's worth contemplating how fucked up it must be to believe that the whole world is conspiring against you, except Donald Trump and Milo Yiannopoulos. I don't really know how it's possible to live like that. Every day, every day, thinking, "Nothing is real. People who I've trusted for years have now turned against me and they're coming to get me."
The DC police department have made a public statement. They said nothing about the killing indicates any connection to the dead guy's work or political involvement.
Can you imagine we've reached a point in our Trumpified culture that an educated person feels he has to start a sentence that way? You never hear anyone start a sentence with, "I believe hitting my balls with a hammer would hurt, but..."
Well, maybe you do, in Florida and certain parts of Texas. But you get my drift.
See, honey? I been telling you. I'm not napping, I'm contemplating.
As Bertrand Russell said,
“I want to say, in all seriousness, that a great deal of harm is being done in the modern world by belief in the virtuousness of work, and that the road to happiness and prosperity lies in an organized diminution of work.”
Could you really say that a cop in uniform, armed to the teeth, who rides up in one of those armored vehicles with police lights and a siren and dons a balaclava and with his badge and id removed is undercover? Really?

Snopes isn't investigating a murder. It's investigating a conspiracy theory.

I've driven with my dick before. And let me tell you, the gas and brake aren't so bad, but that clutch can be a real bitch.

No. There were accusations, but they were also false, according to other, non-Snopes sources.

Haha dopes.

Why? The only reason we see it as virtuous today is because of our Calvinist heritage (brainwashing).
Your work is meant only to enrich those who do not work (owners).

I'm in Houston right now, and it feels like it's all coming right here. Got damn, it's hot out there today.

As Bertrand Russell said,
Now can I please order No Man's Sky?
Yeah, I'm pretty sure that's where I went wrong.

Unless you're the police
Except the cops, who are wearing balaclavas or stormtrooper helmets and have removed their badges and IDs.
You probably think it's OK when cops cover their faces and remove their badges and IDs.
When cops in public cover their faces, remove their badges and ID tags, your civil rights have already been violated.
