I could be wrong as I’ve yet to read the Wikipedia article.
Who did he kill: a few guys who were guilty of nothing, but their blackness made them targets of a bigot; or were they engaged in criminal activity and then threatened him when he showed up. If it’s the former, then he’s a criminal who should be prosecuted. If it’s the latter, I feel a bit freer to indulge in moral relativism.
The removal of a comment by mods on lemmy makes me more likely to think he’s got a point, actually. I haven’t checked the modlog though, maybe it was bullshit.
Haven’t checked the actual mod logs but there’s a glitch w/ Boost that lets you read removed comments. One was a statement on how many down votes a comment had at a particular time.
Another called people who downvoted him ideologues and compared them to redditors. Which I can see being a violation of rule 1, although it wasn’t targeted at any single person and the worst insult thrown was him calling people redditors.

I’d say the swathes of downvotes and removal of your comments by mods would make you go read about it before jumping to his defence.

That’s an odd take. His replies are basically just basking in the downvotes and admitting that he doesn’t actually have knowledge of the incident.
I just don’t trust lemmy mods at all.
