Wait, did he say that
Kyle would be singing John Brown's body? I think we've set a new record for a little bit of knowledge demonstrating ignorance.
Anyways, I've been busy this weekend and haven't been able to catch up with the thread, so my apologies if this has been posted before, but I ran across an interesting bit that I'm not sure if it's cope or propaganda. From this

Frank is apparently retired FBI who works for MSNBC now. As you may notice, he's rather vague on who performed this analysis and how. That Tara he @'ed seems to have been involved as she gives further explanations
here, but remains rather vague on the the details with no real data break downs, nor does anything indicate what her credentials are. Of minor note, the website she links to in her profile does exists, but as someone noted in the imgur comments, as of a few hours ago clicking on the link would trigger adware/malware filters. Very curious overall.
In any case, to play devils advocate for a moment, this is likely a thing the Russians do. I recall several years ago when the Black Lives Matter/Blue Lives Matter shit started up, both reddit and tumblr caught accounts they identified as Russia attempting to stir things up, and informed users as well as banning the accounts.
The interesting catch I saw noted on tumblr at the time were that the foreign agents were posting inflammatory stuff on both sides of the issue. Which makes sense to me, Russian agents wouldn't care much which side "won", increasing tensions and driving a wedge into cracks would be a reasonable win condition for them. A US busy with internal issues is a US paying less attention to the internal stage.
So if you relate that to this issue, not only does this claim about support for Kyle being "foreign influence" omit important details like "how many tweets were in support of them" or "proof this sample is generally representative of those tweets", it fails to consider the oppose issue. How many tweets wanting Kyle to be guilty were foreign? How many tweets spreading false claims were foreign? And so on.
So yeah. A stretching cope, or a new line of propaganda that may or may not be a half truth?
And in a final mildly interesting note the
imgur account I ran across this on appears to be either a terminally only true believer, or a propaganda account. Virtually everything they post is screenshots of twitter hot takes and drama, and political news articles. So if you've ever wondered how some of this stuff spreads, this is an example.
I doubt it. Judging from that one incident someone posted a ways back saying that Binger seemed to be something of an activist, I get the impression that Binger leans anti-gun rights. I wouldn't be surprised if he took this case for that reason, while expecting Kyle to not be able to muster the resources for adequate representation, and that he'd fold under pressure and take a plea deal. By the time it became clear that Kyle was getting sufficient representation, and the facts of the case were against Binger, it was likely too late for Binger to back out. So he went full slimeball in prosecuting in desperate hopes of getting something to stick.
