did he kept the same scarf?
There is a lot of reaching in these comments saying it’s not this guy and acting like he’s a idolized hero. He has the gun, the clothes, the eye brows, facial features, his movements were tracked, manifesto like come on. He made a ton of mistakes along the way. Accept it. Its LIKELY he got caught. I’ll probably get downvoted but oh well. Live in reality people. It seems a lot online sadly do not.
There’s even people in posts talking about how to do better and advice and tips. What the actual fuck lol. Lemmy seems like the new 4chan sometimes. Undoubtedly monitored like all online platforms. People are either arm chair generals or idiots for talking on the internet.
Oh my friend, you’re here trying to lecture the internet and ignoring the lulz. IMO life is too stressful for that approach, but you do you. … by the way, 1A protects nearly all speech. There are limits, but general advice and tips are nowhere near the edge of acceptability.
Fuck he’s hot
So, what’s your fanfiction about?
He enlists into the Turkish army and meets a Kurdish refugee he befriends and they slowly fall in love as they try to bring to light of the Erdoğan scourge and create a Rojava state together
Two thoughts here:
-
How do they find an impartial jury? Is it possible to find an impartial jury?
-
Will we ever learn if the McDonalds employee who turned him in received a payout?
To the latter. I was into OSINT to a lesser degree for several years. There are people who engage with it for the sole purpose of trying to find criminal people in order to collect reward money. However, the deal is, the amount posted is typically “up to” the amount posted, and, worse, can be contingent on conviction in a court of law. So, yes, I want to know if the McD Employee was paid as of yet.
Jury selection from current and former CEOs only
There are a whole lot of people that are not active on the internet and have no idea this thing ever took place. It’ll be easy to find a jury.
In New York though?
I assume they at least change the venue to some county upstate.
Bill Burr isn’t really my humor but I listened to him talk about it as a New Yorker. That was enlightening.

Put it on tshirts and sell them on the internet.
His face says: “Yup I did it, and I’d do it again!”
His face says no jury will ever convict him!
Protip: always look up and smile for mugshots
Meh, so what? We already got a felon for our next president, why can’t this fella run for president?
If Biden pardons him, that would be so fucking legendary. Especially if he’s like, “yeah, I pardon his state crimes too. Fuck y’all”
Is he being charged with a federal crime?
Not that I know of, which would make the attempt of a Presidential pardon so much more awesome. Hence the “fuck y’all”
Biden would never upset his handlers like that…
That’s actually the reason why we are here
If he announces his run, he won’t be able to go to jail.
We know that now, right?
I’d vote for him.
He’s too young.
That didn’t stop Deez Nuts from legally running for president (I think he was 15 years old at the time).
Edit: Confirmed, he was 15 years old.
Nothing matters anymore, anyway.
Doesn’t even look like the same guy.
You’ll need to be more specific about which of the pictures of random guys you mean he looks nothing like
He at best matches one of 8…
Regardless of his personal politics, he did a good thing (assuming this even is the assassin)
Adventurism won’t get us far though. One dead corporate ghoul won’t do much; we need an organized party.
It only takes 500 dead of that ilk to get far.
Some people must have face blindness cause to me this dude looks like the other pictures we saw after the shooting.
I think that some people had trouble with the raised angle of the hostel smile photo, and the way that cameras of different focal lengths (technically, more a function of distance between camera and subject) tend to flatten three dimensional features in slightly different ways. The posts where people were saying that various pictures don’t look like the same person, but like you, I think they look pretty similar.
Idk, I would not ruin a man’s life over the similarities. But then again I am quite terrible at telling faces apart
The angle is very different
just looks like some random guy of mediterranean descent. I am sure there’s lots of dudes who look like that who’ve themselves murderized 1000s of Palestinians in the past week alone.
This veers a little too close to racism for my liking. Be careful not to get any closer
Edit: Not a threat, I just don’t want someone to say something racist
Really tied it all together here didn’t you.
Doesn’t look like him. Super convenient that the gun can’t be traced so we just have to trust the cops that it really was his, and that he was just out walking around with the gun and a manifesto, just days after, when anyone would be lying low?? Not buying it.
There is a world where this guy is mentally ill - schizophrenia for example - and this is yet another example of the mentally ill falling through the gaping cracks in the US health care system.
To not dispose of the weapon or the fake ID, and continue wearing the same clothes suggests irrational behaviour.
Unfortunately the US legal system only seemingly regards mental ill health as a defense if you’re very rich and lawyered up.
News is saying his family is very wealthy. They own country clubs, health care facilities and real estate companies. And his cousin is a state delegate in Maryland. He also graduated from Ivy League college.

affluenza it is then!
Bourgeoisie infighting? What an hero
Or the cops fabricated it to close the case because they have zero leads
They really did need a W, hmm
If they fabricated it I hope the adjuster goes and redacts an ExxonMobil exec
Would be quite the twist if while this guy was in custody another CEO got whacked.
Plot twist, he’s just going to prison to shiv his next CEO
So ghost guns not have distinctive rifling?
Glocks are the Toyota Corolla of handguns. They are the preferred weapon of police departments and federal agencies the world over.
They, and many modern firearms, use a rotary hammer forged barrel with polygonal rifling that does not leave unique markings like traditional cut rifling.
Also, forensic ballistics are mostly bunk, like forensic bite marks.
A barrel is a barrel, and I think it highly unlikely that a mass-produced product leaving a unique fingerprint on something that’s been smushed into a completely different shape can be used as forensic evidence is the domain of TV CSI.

Bullet and rifling forensics is not based on science
BULLSHIT.
Fits both angles of the photos, the feminine, younger smile and the gruff one, he was a Ted K fan before any of this shit went off, had a 3D printed gun, and a manifest on him.
I’m afraid this “duck” is quacking. I think it may indeed be a duck.
Mmm… It’s too sloppy how much evidence they found. I have serious doubts.
I doubted the manifesto at first, but then… think about it.
What if it was never found? He wrote it to be read, did he not? I suppose he had it on him just in case of this very situation.
The people will know his meaning even if they don’t have his voice.
Honestly this looks like a different guy, personally I would acquit if they put him on trial with those photos as evidence. I’d be nervous if police asked me if I was in New York this week too.
They’re gonna Lee Harvey Oswald this poor guy if they can’t get a jury to take the pigs at their word
I’m kinda sick & tired of this story already, because it’s become a media spectacle that takes our eye off the ball: US private health insurance, US healthcare in general, and capitalism.
It takes our eye off the fact that a fascist regime is about to take power in a month.
Politics grifters are trying to reassert their narratives already?
Pathetic
100% Killing one pos CEO doesn’t fix the problem. Large company’s are already talking about beefing up security for their ceos. Like will it even matter?
No, it doesn’t, but it’s been something that has brought people from across the political spectrum together. Even Ben Shapiro’s fans called him out on trying to drum this up as a “radical Left bad” issue.
Sounds like it just means we need cannons and RPGs for the next one? lol
If there’s an upside it’s that it focuses people’s attention on the class struggle we’re all part of, whether we want to be or not. Some people will be realizing this for the first time; others will be experiencing a feeling of working class solidarity for the first time; and for others it will be a focal point in conversations that can raise people’s consciousness of what’s going on.
People are injured and killed by gun violence in the U.S. every day, and it barely makes the news because we’ve become numb to it and politicians fail to act. What makes this case any different?
On the other hand, it reminds everybody how much they hate the US health insurance system. And I mean everybody.
That guy don’t give a fuck about what we care about.
He just wanted to slip his brain dead agenda on the communist theory every where it doesn’t belong.
He appears salty that a related revolutionary entered the scene and made his cosplay look pathetic.
Ohh wow… Really… Not very proletariat of u boo
I feel it kinda highlights the healthcare and insurance issues, really puts it in our collective sights
never underestimate the power of symbol
How much were people talking about those issues before all of this? There were whispers, but no concerted dialogue. Now is our chance to have one. Don’t waste it.
