Rules (interactive)

That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.
If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.
Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.
If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

Would depend on how you were murdered.
In the street with many cameras and witnesses, pretty high chance.
In your home with no cameras and no forced entry, very low.
lets say, hypothetically some rando walks up and caps you, exactly like Luigi did the CEO. it took, probably, millions, or hundreds of thousands of dollars in terms of cop-hours, and a lot of that is straight up overtime. then there's things like draining the pond in central park, or whatever. the divers. the chasing down faulty leads.
and none of that was actually useful.
what got him in the end was the media campaign pushing his face (well. supposedly his face. there's holes in that story.) in front of everyone. And the only reason it had massive media campaign was because Luigi whacked some asshole who was a real prick, even by Health Care CEO standards, and that made it news.
they're actually more likely to figure out the other, because there's going to be a handful of people who have access to your place. Whoever has keys becomes suspect. Or whoever was in the place. at the very least, no forced entry means you knew the person, at least enough to open the door for them. (Pizza guy?) that's more than they had on Luigi until the McDonalds lady called it in.
(Seriously. Unless they have a continuous footage of him, spliced together from one camera to the next, never leaving it, then they matched Luigi's face to a pair of eyebrows on grainy video. Sure they might have DNA or something more now, but those photos were a joke. as they say. "he fit a description". a blurry, pixelated description.)
If he hadn't taken the mask off in the hostel they would still be looking.
No, they wouldn’t.
They would have found somebody else who “fit a description.”
To my knowledge there was no real reason to believe the guy in the second two photos were the shooter.
They didn’t have a solid “he goes here, here and here” timeline on him (or they would have known he went to the bus port much sooner.)
Mayve he wanted to get caught so they wouldn't blame a scapegoat?
Or maybe he is the scapegoat.
🤷♂️
(If Luigi is the perpetrator, maybe he wanted to get caught so his manifesto gets in the news?)
Could even be a copycat using the opportunity to get their manifesto in the news
Okay so what if this scenario: [Hypothetical, I'm not in this situation, yet]
I have an argument at home with family members, and someone got pissed.
They:
[1] kills me while I sleep
or
[2] poisons my food
I mean, I do have diagnosed depression (but never told my therapist/doctors about my suicidal idealization), so could they potentially fake a suicide?
Immediate family (spouses especially) are ALWAYS the primary suspect until they can be ruled out
Becase family is most often at fault. So the easy answer is right. But when it isn't family it is much harder to guess who might have done it.
If they poison your food that's going to show up on toxicology, if they smother you with a pillow they'll probably get away with it
This is sounding oddly specific. OP, please don't kill your family member.
Edit: Actually, I'd like to add something. If you were to suffocate someone with a pillow or poison them, both of them would point to foul play, which would instantly pull in a list of possible suspects. In that list, the ones with motive would be investigated a bit more: ie, had a spat before the death. And from the on, it would be up to match evidence, now that an investigator knows what they're looking for, it won't take long to put 2 and 2 together.
