About

Go Ahead, Justify This refers to a series of image macros based on a tweet by fugitive American system administration Edward Snowden. The tweet, which reads "Go Ahead, Justify This," captions an absurd and humorous picture that either comments on a real world event or simply makes a surreal joke.

Origin

On July 21st, 2016, Edward Snowden[1] tweeted a news report on Charles Kinsey, an elderly African American and therapist, who was aiding an autistic patient, shot by police while lying on the ground with his hands visible. Snowden captioned the video "Go ahead, justify this," rhetorically asking for an explanation for police shooting an unarmed man. The tweet (shown below) received more than 7,000 retweets and 7,400 likes.

FYI for those who may be wondering. The victim, Charles Kinsey, and his patient (who was not shot) survived. Kinsey was shot in the leg, but he made it, despite being left bleeding out for twenty minutes, for what I imagine was… not pleasant.

Apparently, Kinsey's lawyer assumed the shooter was white. Unsurprisingly, BLM got involved after the incident (I wonder why?). I wonder how they responded to discovering that the shooter, Jonathan Aledda, is actually Hispanic. His explanation for why he shot Kinsey was "I don't know."

Just in case anyone was about to scream that police brutality is a white-vs-black issue. With the information available currently, it seems to just be a random incident of a police officer being a massive idiot and/or jerk.

Thought people might be wondering.
