Exactly my thought. When I saw that photo, I saw it as promising - that LE was building rapport with CL. And I didn’t fault him for smiling, or even laughing. Think what you want of his actions in the past month, but don’t forget that he’s a human being - his world has been turned upside down, and he’s likely had very little positive interaction with other people in recent weeks.I bet that agent is highly trained in building rapport and coaxing out information. Laughing with CL likely helped him relax, maybe think the agent is on his side, really just wants BL found safely, etc. like most of you, I don’t think that excursion had anything to do with whatever they looked at in the preserve. It was an information gathering mission, imo.
This is NOT to excuse whatever he may, or may not have done, to help GP’s family or to find BL. I just don’t think a photo of him smiling can be interpreted as evidence of his callousness.
The only things we are seeing are the things the media wants us to see. The photos, the moments, the words that capture attention and generate revenue. We’ve already seen how misleading their edits can be. Snippets of interviews taken out of context, or paraphrased - they are controlling the narrative here.
