      Photos of this guy are with a bookbag with black straps. The guy with the bookbag with white straps in the shooting video has a completely different jacket and thin eyebrows vs this guys big bushy ones.

      Did they say it was the guy? I thought they were saying he was staying with other people at the hostel and this was someone they wanted to talk to, presumably one of the roommates, but idfk

      Thisnis the assumption we should all go on, for two reaeons: (1) We don’t want to enable the potential persecution or reprisals for an innocent person, and (2) Who actually wants them to catch the guy anyway?

      Society is deteriorating this is what it looks like…

      When CEO cheers at his pay check after denying claims of sick people WHO PAID FOR THIS SERVICE, do you ever find yourself saying:

      Yes, killing a man in cold blood by gunning him down in the street. What a joyous occasion.

      Now think about it… why not?

        It’s not a good place for society to be, I quite agree. Yet here we are.

        There are probably ways we could change things so that vigilantes gunning down health insurance CEOs isn’t considered a reasonable option.

          We would need a lot more philanthropic billionaires for that to happen.

          So we’ve established that there are some people you’d be happy to see gunned down, we’re now just quibbling over who qualifies.

              I applaud your moral high ground stance, but it’s worth saying there’s no court that can punish a man like that. They are above the law.

              What’s your idealist’s heart say about what to do about people like that when the system that’s supposed to protect us from them is completely and utterly broken?

              Indeed, having some disconnected powerful authority figure handing out decisions on who should live and who should die is a pretty repulsive concept.

      Well, you see, the blood was warm when it was spilled. Unfortunately, because the customer was in the 3rd tier SuperSavings Freedom Unlimited* HSA Semi-Preferred SelectChoice Healthcare plan, all claims require a 24-hour waiting period after symptoms erupt to allow rebuttal from the primary physician. The blood was only cold after the grace period elapsed.

        There’s always unknown consequences.

        I keep having to go back to the French Revolution- eventually they were executing hundreds of people per day. I’m sure all of them were guilty and deserved Capital Punishment.

        Even Robespierre was executed, and the whole thing blamed on him, though he was adamantly against these executions.

        We’ll never know what would’ve become of France if a different approach had been taken rather than just start lopping off heads.

          France seems pretty chill today, actually. Relaxed people that aren’t afraid to unify and protest when they feel the government isn’t on their side.

          The appeal of Le Pen to them is worrisome but humanity as a whole seems susceptible to right-wing populism, unfortunately.

    The thing is Stephen King recently told a story in Billy Summers about how a triggerman fades into the woodwork after a pro hit. And King is someone who only does a bit of research (contrast someone like Chuck Palahniuk).

    So yeah, someone who is not quite dressed like the guy getting caught on camera and then held up by police as a suspect sounds like the police being lazy.

    It’s a hired killer. Follow the fucking money.

        He could just come to my house and want for nothing, lol. It’d take about 3 weeks but he’d have a new SS#, ID, and quite a bit of cash in his pocket. This dude has the overwhelming majority of the country on his side. If he went to a Trump-hostile nation, I’d imagine they’d also use him as a torture-poke to jab at Trump regularly.

        Bro’s got a shit ton of options.

        I’m gonna be leaving a glass of warm milk and cookies outside my door in case he needs some dinner. Its accidental! Not aiding or helping in anyway. If he doesn’t drink it I’ll have it in the morning when I remember about it.

    From what I can gather the disgruntled insurance victim was wearing some of the most generic high end clothing for the new york area. There are so many people running around with similar clothing that they are probably just throwing pictures out there looking for a scapegoat they can destroy.

      Doubt, I hope this guy gets away but I believe all the video clips and photos realaed are definitely the guy who pulled the trigger. The police are good at tracking someone down if a rich person gets hurt or killed

        They’re not even wearing the same jacket. One is a hoodie and the other is a military style, zip-up jacket. It takes about 10 seconds to identify 10 differences in their clothing.

          You don’t think it’s possible that someone who seems to have gone into decent effort planning this out didn’t bring two jackets?

          Wearing one jacket most of the time and the other while you actually are doing the crime seems like a good idea to me.

            Why would he choose two different jackets of similar enough style to catch the attention of anyone reviewing security footage? That type of decision doesn’t seem to be one that would be made by someone as obviously competent as the shooter.

              That’s a good point but I still don’t think it’s out of the realm of possibilities, I think a lot of things will remain unclear unless he gets caught. Hopefully he never gets caught and this can remain an interesting mystery

        You overestimate the cops’ competency. They’re mostly fascist dumbfucks who only manage to have a career because they’re willing to beat or evict all the poor people the department tells them too. They don’t solve many cases in general
