The New York Police Department is crowd-sourcing their investigation into the murder of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson to the general public after two days with no positive ID on the shooter. But they may not get much help from the internet, according to multiple popular TikTok sleuths.

The media organizations owned by billionaires can’t understand the mystery. They continually screw over their employees, the public trust, their customers, the government and everyone else they can are baffled as to why the public is unwilling to help. Billionaires everywhere are quoted as wondering why they aren’t tasted like the deities they see themselves as.

And when you got your six pieces, you gotta get rid of them, because it’s no good leaving it in the deep freeze for your mum to discover, now is it? Then I hear the best thing to do is feed them to pigs. You got to starve the pigs for a few days, then the sight of a chopped-up body will look like curry to a pisshead. You gotta shave the heads of your victims, and pull the teeth out for the sake of the piggies’ digestion. You could do this afterwards, of course, but you don’t want to go sievin’ through pig sh*t, now do you? They will go through bone like butter. You need at least sixteen pigs to finish the job in one sitting, so be wary of any man who keeps a pig farm. They will go through a body that weighs 200 pounds in about eight minutes. That means that a single pig can consume two pounds of uncooked flesh every minute. Hence the expression, “as greedy as a pig”.

Of course they understand, they’re not dumb, they’re evil.

I think what’s been the shock, if anything, has been has slow the Americans have been to react. That it’s gone this far without the people of the country doing anything is wiiiild. I guess all that lost sugar, lead and tapeworm IQ is doing it’s job.

Anyone who rats him out will be the most hated person in America. There’ll be folk songs casting them as Judas and raps comparing them to the killers of Black Panther organisers and artworks of them burning in Hell with Hitler and Nixon and Murdoch, and eventually their descendants will change their surnames to evade the association.

The most hated on Lemmy for sure. I am less certain about the whole USA. As most are aware, Lemmy is very radicalised.

What are normal people that aren’t chronically online thinking?

If nothing else, this is why I didn’t think anyone would rat him out. Especially for the measly $50k the law is offering. They’d have to make it $5+ million, paid in advance and anonymously, so the idiot snitch could GTFO of Dodge before they come down with a sudden case of lynch mob.

Where are the dipshit trolls who inhabit the dark corners of the internet? … why aren’t they going out to help to endlessly troll and make life a living hell for the investigators? Whenever some dumb internet contest happens, they’re usually the first to appear to spoil everything … they should be jumping on this one to troll the police while at the same time gain a bit of social sympathy from the masses.

Would they? They went after bombers who hurt innocent bystanders, for instance.

But would they have gone after someone that did something people really have sympathy for? I don’t know that there’s any precedent suggesting they would.
