did he kept the same scarf?
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.
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.
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.
It takes our eye off the fact that a fascist regime is about to take power in a month.
On the other hand, it reminds everybody how much they hate the US health insurance system. And I mean everybody.
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.
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.
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.
If they fabricated it I hope the adjuster goes and redacts an ExxonMobil exec
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.

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. Unless you know of it being scientifically proven, it is the domain of TV CSI.

Bullet and rifling forensics is not based on science
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.
Fuck he’s hot
