MSNBC said on Saturday that police examining the bag and its contents found a jacket and Monopoly money, but no firearm.

Thats a plant. They aren't as close as they say they are. Also 60k as a reward for betraying your entire class? Lmao you better pay kingmaker money.

The NYPD's working theory of what pistol was used doesn't even make sense either. These cops are clueless.

[–] Isoprenoid@programming.dev 25 points 1 week ago (1 children)

They appear to be clueless, so those with a clue may out themselves.

Guess what day it is today

I like how one article said: "The net is tightening," New York City Mayor Eric Adams said Saturday.

No, I don't think it is, but keep saying that.

[–] zalgotext@sh.itjust.works 19 points 1 week ago (3 children)

The net is tightening? Lmao they've widened the search to nearly every metro area between New York and Atlanta

We're looking for a man with a charming smile somewhere in North America. If you've seen anyone smiling on the east coast please call 1(800)BOOT-LIK

If Eric Adams is speaking, he's lying

They are basically the Keystone Kops.

More like Kindergarten Kops

The fact that each picture of him has been someone different doesn't give me a lot of faith they know his name lmao.

[–] originalucifer@moist.catsweat.com 18 points 1 week ago (4 children)

theres more than one pic? ive only seen this one where hes smilin

[–] marcos@lemmy.world 25 points 1 week ago

Yeah, that one is officially not from him.

And the police has been officially never wrong about it, and has been looking for that one guy to interrogate only, maybe ask where he brought his jacket or something like that.

[–] Plum@lemmy.world 24 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (2 children)

Here's a better one. NYPD doesn't know what the fuck they're after.

[–] LiveLM@lemmy.zip 10 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (2 children)

So did this guy have a team of decoys running around with him or did the stars align to explicitly fuck that CEO over? lmao

[–] Phoenicianpirate@lemm.ee 18 points 1 week ago (3 children)

It's New York. That look is probably very common. Hence why our hero chose it as a disguise.

Also he probably quickly changed his clothes in central park. So a possible thing is that he also changed his hoodie and had a different mask.

But having four different coats? Hard to believe.

My take is that the cops fed raw surveillance data into their trusty Crime Computer and fully trusted the result. It's a super common silhouette when the daily high temp is in the 30s. Lol.

Yeah there’s also one from within a bank, but it’s totally a different person

[–] henfredemars@infosec.pub 51 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I feel like that's possibly a prelude to setting up a scapegoat. You can't let people think he got away with it.

[–] Cruxifux@feddit.nl 18 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I think that’s entirely possible. If this guy gets away Scott free and people know he did? Expect more attempts at CEO murder.

[–] Mouselemming@sh.itjust.works 35 points 1 week ago (2 children)

One t in scot-free.

From Scotland, where there are 3 possible verdicts to a murder trial:

Guilty

Not Guilty

Not Proven

In the 3rd instance, we may or may not all know you did it, but the State couldn't prove their case, so you get away scot-free.

[–] Cruxifux@feddit.nl 18 points 1 week ago

Oh no shit eh? I was actually wondering as I typed that what the proper way to spell it was and where it came from. Thanks man!

[–] hark@lemmy.world 9 points 1 week ago

According to this, it had originally literally meant "exempt from royal tax": https://www.etymonline.com/word/scot-free#etymonline_v_22952

Everyone should spread the word on Jury Nullification. The way society is heading, we're going to need it sooner or later. It needs to be common knowledge cuz they tend to throw ppl out of court for knowing about it or talking about it.

GoFundMe already shut down his fundraiser. Probably their CEO is nervous.

I'm not usually a conspiracy theorist, but so many things seem off. Dude's got an engineering degree, pulled off a cold-blooded assassination in broad daylight and evaded capture for almost a week... And then it turns out he's an absolute idiot who keeps around a "ghost gun" in public, keeps around the same fake ID he'd used to book into the NYC hostel, and keeps a manifesto on his person?

Part of me thinks this is some rando that's gonna have to take the fall so that the rest of America believes that the police is all-powerful and can find any criminal. Hell, part of me thinks this perfect suspect is all made up.

[–] Ilovethebomb@lemm.ee 1 points 5 days ago (1 children)

I can't imagine it's particularly difficult to shoot someone, it's not some work of genius.

It's pretty surprising he still had the weapon on him though.

[–] boonhet@lemm.ee 1 points 5 days ago

It's easy enough to shoot someone, but that was well planned out beforehand, executed in a way to cause maximum media stir while getting away clean...

And then several days later dude keeps a manifesto AND a ghost gun on him while outside...
