    This seems less about his anonymity and more about the anonymity of the people who are unfortunate to have close association with him.

      “But what about his family!”

      He should have thought about his family before he started shooting innocent people.

        Why should his family be punished for his actions? Is their right to privacy forfeit just because someone they’re related to has been accused of commiting a crime?

          Yeah, maybe it’s the day, but Lemmy-sorted-by-Hot has had a lot of bloodthirsty comments lately that go just a step farther than I’m used to seeing

          Why are we advocating that a murderer (i don’t need the court to confirm that part, but they will) have his family’s names revealed? I can’t do anything about my child rapist cousin, he’s in jail already and it’s not like anyone besides his parents even really knew, but putting MY name out there, as a trans woman, would get me killed.
