Installing security systems was part of my job, and sorry, but a lot of criminals are idiots. They just assume they're going to get away with it. Or they figure they're going to get caught

We had one where some fat guy tried to climb a gate but it broke so he went through it. Then he took his hoodie off as he was stealing a camera.

Had another where the guy ran a fake school as a scam. When they investigated him, they discovered he had all of the computers, but none of them were set up. But really, the suspicious part was the Ferrari he owned

Had another guy who was the world's biggest asshole. He got busted for distributing drugs.

Then there is Trump who brags about his crimes and then pretends like he's being set up

There is no incentive for them to arrest the wrong guy...

No, yep, you're right, absolutely zero incentive. Not like there'd be a bunch of rich and powerful CEOs breathing down their neck to catch the CEO killer or anything.

You think all the random CEO's right now are calling the police station telling them they need to catch the killer?

Are you serious? 😂

That's not how these things work

But you make up whatever story supports your conspiracy theory.

It's possible it's not the correct person. But it's more likely you guys read a few news articles and the police have a lot more information than what you have.

Do you think this wasn't political, and isn't getting a political response? Are you serious?

What would be the message if someone managed to off a CEO in broadband daylight and get away with it? Does it matter to them if they have the right person or not, or does just getting a plausibly similar person serve just the same goal with any political message in mind.

We seriously can't know whether it is or isn't the right guy, so it's genuinely doesn't matter if it is or not.

Goddamn I'm tired of people pretending like politics doest exist and malicious people aren't a thing. Yeah no the world isnt ruled but lizards but conspiracies are every much a real thing and you just registering the word directly as "bullshit" is so dystopian.

If you me and a third guy plan a crime, that's a conspiracy.

You're right, it's not. Do you really expect a CEO to bother himself with a plebian beat cop? No, he'd call his good friend the mayor, who would call the chief of police, who would put pressure on his subordinates.

This isn't exactly rocket science? And if you don't believe the above is possible, then you're one of the targets of this grift.

Of course there's incentive to arrest the wrong guy, because there's incentive to arrest anybody at all, to avoid looking incompetent. This is policing 101. Round up the usual suspects and if you don't have any usual suspects, round up somebody.
