    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.

      How much were people talking about those issues before all of this? There were whispers, but no concerted dialogue. Now is our chance to have one. Don’t waste it.

      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?

        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.

        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.

      People are injured and killed by gun violence in the U.S. every day, and it barely makes the news because we’ve become numb to it and politicians fail to act. What makes this case any different?

        That guy don’t give a fuck about what we care about.

        He just wanted to slip his brain dead agenda on the communist theory every where it doesn’t belong.

        He appears salty that a related revolutionary entered the scene and made his cosplay look pathetic.

    Two thoughts here:

    1. How do they find an impartial jury? Is it possible to find an impartial jury?

    2. Will we ever learn if the McDonalds employee who turned him in received a payout?

    To the latter. I was into OSINT to a lesser degree for several years. There are people who engage with it for the sole purpose of trying to find criminal people in order to collect reward money. However, the deal is, the amount posted is typically “up to” the amount posted, and, worse, can be contingent on conviction in a court of law. So, yes, I want to know if the McD Employee was paid as of yet.

      There are a whole lot of people that are not active on the internet and have no idea this thing ever took place. It’ll be easy to find a jury.

      I think that some people had trouble with the raised angle of the hostel smile photo, and the way that cameras of different focal lengths (technically, more a function of distance between camera and subject) tend to flatten three dimensional features in slightly different ways. The posts where people were saying that various pictures don’t look like the same person, but like you, I think they look pretty similar.

    Honestly this looks like a different guy, personally I would acquit if they put him on trial with those photos as evidence. I’d be nervous if police asked me if I was in New York this week too.

    Regardless of his personal politics, he did a good thing (assuming this even is the assassin)

    Adventurism won’t get us far though. One dead corporate ghoul won’t do much; we need an organized party.

    This doesn’t look like your average mugshot. 1) It’s not taken in a police station, 2) I think people aren’t allowed to have scarf’s in mugshots, 3) It’s a photo of a computer screen

        He enlists into the Turkish army and meets a Kurdish refugee he befriends and they slowly fall in love as they try to bring to light of the Erdoğan scourge and create a Rojava state together

      This veers a little too close to racism for my liking. Be careful not to get any closer

      Edit: Not a threat, I just don’t want someone to say something racist

      Fits both angles of the photos, the feminine, younger smile and the gruff one, he was a Ted K fan before any of this shit went off, had a 3D printed gun, and a manifest on him.

      I’m afraid this “duck” is quacking. I think it may indeed be a duck.

          I doubted the manifesto at first, but then… think about it.

          What if it was never found? He wrote it to be read, did he not? I suppose he had it on him just in case of this very situation.

          The people will know his meaning even if they don’t have his voice.

      For as many times as they cla m this guy has changed clothes, you’d think they would have changed him into his jail outfit. Also don’t mug shots usually include a number? And I suppose this bumpkin ass PD doesn’t have height markers on the wall.

      Photo taken by police inside a police station. Sure seems like the definition of a mugshot

      Edit: well I failed at dumbly trusting the caption of a random user on the internet.

    There’s no way he could have done this. Luigi sucks up ghosts inside rich people’s homes, not makes ghosts outside.
