Thanks for explanining the thing about him whispering to himself and how unhappy he looked. In light of that, it really is unfortunate that the crew that goes to see him at court can't give him basic respect and humanize him and would rather gawk over him and romanticize him. For the trial, I hope more serious people show up, but I'm sure these line hoarders will do anything to put themselves front and center again. I blame Carmella for teaching these losers how to get press passes so they can hog journalist spots too, thanks a lot Christine!
Awww no, thank YOU anon for your perspective. It’s funny because I’m actually glad that I decided to share my experience in this “community” because it’s softened my perception a bit. I’ve seen some level headed people with justified critiques so I’m not as pessimistic as I was lol
He honestly looked like he was trying to be cordial and he gave a tight lipped smile to the first row of supporters. It wasn’t a “smile 😊” but more “I’m acknowledging your existence 😐”. His mouth didn’t curl up like a genuine smile, it was more like “my mom is introducing me to a stranger that I have to be pleasant with”. I know that’s random but it’s the best way I can describe it lmao.
The officers escorting him made him walk faster and his legs were shackled so I think that’s why he made the face. He could have been annoyed because it seemed like they were rushing him past the public rows to me. He could have been cursing to himself or something because his eyebrows were very expressive. That’s why you couldn’t miss it. So seeing the amount of people lie about him “smiling at them” and “making eye contact” was all I needed to know about this “movement”.
Now as for Christine I sort of agree. She made it a point to say that she needed a pass to “distinguish herself from the fangirls” so that planted the seed. She could have just went and done her job but she made it known how easy it is to get a pass. TikTok streamers have press passes. You just need to attend and document like 5 events and submit them. No press background or degree needed. But like you said anon, I hope he actually gets some respectable public support.
I saw a lawyer on YouTube that went and her breakdowns are over 3 hours sometimes. I’d happily be her line sitter because I want people like her in every hearing. Not the people that I had to wait in line with.
