I don’t have a good source myself, I heard it secondhand from someone who was citing an interview with one of the hostages, but I wouldn’t know where to find it
“fun” fact, Stockholm syndrome doesn’t exist. it comes from the fact that some of the hostages in a particular situation felt that the police constantly attempting to escalate were a greater threat to their safety than the people who took them hostage, and wanted them to just negotiate instead of repeatedly trying and failing to do swat-style raids of the building. this perfectly reasonable reaction couldn’t be allowed to be presented in the media, so they made up a fake psychological condition to explain it
I thought it said “Chuck Schumer population plummets” and thought, well that’s a weird way to announce that he died
y’know, I was gonna try to argue against this, but then I realized that my argument rested on the assertion that dying is not a morally positive action, and in this case that’s actually a tough point to make. so you’re right, instead of making fun of Mr. McConnell, I congratulate him on the first decent thing he’s ever done. good job, Mitch, I hope all your friends learn from your example
