Empedocles
1. Jubilee need not have known
beforehand that the protestors would barricade roads? Any reason why you think they should have known beforehand to stage an assassination? That is not my logic Philosopher. It is yours entirely.
2. It is however possible that
Jubilee knew about the demos beforehand (again not that it was essential for an assassination attempt on Ngilu). Feel free to ask for a detailed explanation as why I so insist.
3. Jubilee needs no witch doctor to know that a truck engine would be called to a demo.
Fire Trucks have become a quintessential presence at all demos (peaceful or otherwise) -
read the foregoing in conjunction with 1 & 2.
4. I could never possibly allege that Ngilu arranged the demos. Based on the article you lavishly quoted, she went to join the demos to support the Poor. I wonder how you missed that thou respectable Philosopher and Citizen of Acragas.
5. While I have nowhere prior to this claimed that Jubilee had precursory knowledge of Ngilu's plans to join the demo, I strongly hold that Jubilee may well have known Ngilu was to come and even tracked every last millimeter of her peregrination. Again feel free to demand I explain why I so believe.
6. Nowhere have I said or implied that Jubilee organized the crowd.
One does not need to organize a crowd to send a truck to mow through it as we saw in Nice or during the assassination of Alexander Kipsang Arap Muge
7. I have stated that Jubilee
intended to kill Ngilu. I award you half a point for that.
Simple to decipher? Like the Nice attack? Where in the world did you get that from?
According to the article, "The truck was heading to Kalundu, where the protesters had lit bonfires and barricaded the Kitui-Thika road, when it ploughed into the crowd, killing the ex-mayor as other demonstrators escaped death by a whisker."
So according to your logic, Jubilee knew beforehand the protesters would light a fire and that the firetruck would be called into service (maybe through clairvoyance by borrowing Makau Mutua's crystal ball)? Or wait, I hear you scream, Jubilee arranged for the protests knowing Ngilu would be there, organized or hoped for the firetruck to be called, and then plowed into the crowd, hoping to kill Ngilu?
