What stands out about the article is the following:
Some random guy tracks down and kills a mob boss and New York wonders if a fight among the ruling families is erupting.
From my perspective, that asks "… The fuck are the police for?"
The fact they say he was a Qanon believer seems less to be an attack on Q, and more of a "so… What happens when everyone knows he was right, or at least had a point?"

Q is Lady Tsunemori, here. Perhaps some of us willing to be Makishima have chosen to defer to her and see if she can salvage humanity from out of the system.
