So, still in my long catchup, and I think it's worth relaying the MAGA stabbing incident, in all it's stupidity. We're in pages 430-440 now, and nobody actually pointed out half of the stupid inconsistencies in the story, so lemme recreate the timeline.
A guy decides he's going to cause trouble. He puts on a MAGA hat, grabs a baseball bat, and walks out into public. In Nova Scotia. With those two things.
Somehow, he *doesn't* attract the suspicion or ire of anyone until he comes across Lily in (UNDEFINED LOCATION). Probably undefined because she was deliberately giving the minimum amount of details possible, probably knowing that the more details she gives, the more holes she'd poke in the story.
We'll assume it's somewhere relatively private but also convenient for more people to come, like some back-alley or something. Why would Lily be in such an area? Plot convenience, mostly.
He tries to attack her with a bat, for some reason, but despite him presumably being some violent redneck (and attacking first), she whips out a knife and stabs him first. The police are then alerted, and come to investigate.
Let me explain the scene. There's a guy on the floor, trying to keep his guts from spilling out. There's a maga hat near him, as well as a baseball bat, and Lily, who may or may not be playing the victim. They don't just arrest the guy who's been stabbed for aggravated assault, they don't just let the actual stabber go,
they let the person who actually successfully stabbed the guy go with their weapon, not even taking it as evidence, and then they clean the blood off and posts an image of it on tumblr.
The other read is that she already took a picture of this knife, but you can't tell me that wouldn't make her MORE suspicious.
And it never has a news story attached to it or anything, despite being something dozens of news organisations would just eat up to confirm all their biases.
