20. Whoever I hate is responsible!

So, surly Starbucks barista, I'm looking at you.

But seriously. Any time anything at all happens, the wild speculation begins. It's always some white, disgruntled, right-wing incel. Until it's not. And if it's not, you'll never hear another word about it again from our side. If it is, it's proof that all bad things are their fault (because the event where it wasn't them clearly never happened).

It's downtown. There are cameras. There will be evidence with the vehicle used. Law enforcement will pin it down. Then we'll probably get a motive.

I hope people have better things to do on Christmas than to rampantly speculate and make claims with zero evidence. I remember when Reddit "found" the Boston bomber. Turned out it was a depressed student who committed suicide by jumping off a bridge. His family was thrilled, as you can imagine. To this day, if you ever see, "Good job, Reddit! We did it!" they're sarcastically referencing that very cringe worthy moment.
