Definitely part of it. Just look at all the narratives and commentators joking about how Philadelphia was going to be anarchy and chaos whether the Eagles won or lost. It feeds into outside people thinking that's what they have to do, when the reality is the people that actually live here aren't like that. Philly never riots when a team loses, we just get sad and drunk.

I think another factor is a sense of rules not applying as much since you're in a different area than where you spend most of your time in. Thinking you're nearly unidentifiable, not caring about the locals since you know you won't be running into them again, and thinking the local police will somehow have a tougher time finding you since you're not a local. Edit: not sure which word caused this to be auto-removed.

The same people in here that were upset this would fit a narrative about a black guy killing a cop are somewhat satisfied it is a white Bucks kid that killed a cop.

Meanwhile, the cop is still dead. A cop killer is in jail. Hopefully, he never has a free day for as long as he lives. That's the narrative.

I am not sure why anyone would look at this murderer's Internet presence other than to find fodder to lob at those they disagree with. He's a cop killer. That's his identity from here on.
