      They’re saying “a number” of social media posts are filling in the picture they’d like to paint. It’s a more technically honest version of Trump’s “a lot of people are saying it” type of statement.

        Ah, that should have been clear to me, thanks.

          The little tell that gives it away is the leap of logic where people were okay with killing the CEO who was killing people, but not if he fell down first, for Christ’s sake. No one thinks that, except someone who’s not very bright, in an office somewhere, trying to come up with something plausible that would pluck at the heartstrings of all the people he’s trying to pluck at the heartstrings of.
