This honestly sounds like some half assed right wing flase flag shit. Paint everyone against datacenters as crazy and violent.
I'm from Indy - no one is buying the story. The councilor is a complete tool who's hated by his own constituents and will be voted out. He's been caught multiple times making up shit like this just for attention.
Just a thought - if someone was this passionate against new AI data centers, why would they get an anti-data center flyer, put it in a plastic bag, leave it under his doormat, and then shoot up his door? If they're going to this much trouble, they want to stop the data centers. But they'd be relying on the councilor looking under his doormat and that his opinions wouldn't be hardened by this. Why wouldn't they try to kill the councilor, too? Why wouldn't they at least leave behind an actual threat?
What's much more likely is he either did this for attention or it was a drive-by shooting and he either put the flyer there himself or it just happened to already be on his porch.
I’m not from Indy and don’t know fuck-all about this particular “victim”, but I kinda believe it. There are a lot of whacko-crazy nut jobs out there.
Nothing in the story that I’ve read points to a political bent for the alleged perpetrator. I do however know that he or she was actually at my house drinking beers during the timeframe of this purported crime.
I mean I am crazy. Not violent tho, unless you count sassy Latin rhythms as violent
Mater tua.
Meanwhile they are threatening to genocide a nation.
Is all violence crazy?
(I’m not saying you’re even wrong, but this false flag shit wouldn’t work if people decoupled crazy from violent.)
