It’s already been two and a half days. The longer they go without catching him the less likely it will be that they do.
The fact that they are issuing a wider manhunt seems to back that up.
Given the publicity, I’m sure that they’ll catch a guy, but I’m skeptical that they’ll catch that guy.
Hate to burst the bubble but this guy threatened the illusion that the billionaire class is untouchable. The ultra-rich are going to be leaning heavily on all the politicians and officials they helped put into position to ensure this guy gets caught no matter the cost, and ensure he’s made an example of.
It might not be the NYPD or any other civil police department, but you can bet NSA & FBI leadership is getting multiple phone calls demanding they get involved and go over every piece of information related to the shooting they can get till they identify the killer. The ultra-rich won’t let this one slide as one of their own was publicly murdered, so they won’t stop at anything to ensure the killer’s character is publicly murdered so that anyone who tries to copycat or get ideas can equally be ostracized as an outcast.
Even if they catch him and hang him, it doesn’t mean that he didn’t accomplish his goal.
If you’re trying to show your untouchable, revenge won’t prove that.
Taking out another CEO would, tho.
Even if they don’t the guy, they’ll still find a guy. The illusion of control must be maintained.
Do you think they’ll let him get in front of a jury or will they kill him before they bring him in?
"I want him dead or guilty!’
They’ll kill him and make it look like he went crazy and turned a gun on them or something and it was their only option.
Or he’ll get Epstein’d.
Or he’ll mysteriously fall from a high balcony.
The dude that got shot wasn’t a billionaire, not even close. With a net worth of $54 million he’s just as much of a peasant to them as we are.
He wasn’t a billionaire, but he was filthy sticking rich, and made his money by causing untold stress and harm on other people.
I mean his company was already notoriously evil when he was just a high-ranking executive. But he took the helm, and wanted more money by being crueler than that.
Fine, he was a bad dude, but a millionaire getting shot doesn’t “shatter the illusion that billionaires are untouchable” any more than you or me getting shot would
I think you might be wrong there. How much conversation was happening a week ago about actually killing rich folks? I saw it occasionally here on lemmy in the form of ‘eat the rich.’ Out in my meatspace conversations though? Never. There might have been a grumble once a year, or they might agree with a statement about the elite political and financial class not caring about harm done to anyone else. In the last few days, even my normiest of normal friends has been talking about it, even if not directly. Most of the comments aren’t putting the rich in a positive light either.
This event has sparked a great deal of thought about death and taxes.
I’m wondering if they’re holding back on sharing extra pictures of him, because by now they must be aware that the likelihood of people helping him hide is super high
At this point I wouldn’t be surprised if people broke out of any detention facility of he is ever to be caught just to drive the point home to the parasite class…
He didn’t commit any crime. Get fucked
ah shit. Run, bro.
They’re bluffing. Trying to get him to make a mistake
yea I was wondering about that. But I’m not so sure, it seems plausible that they would have been able to amass footage of him throughout the city
They also found “his” back with monopoly money in it…
Seems plausible that NYPD are stupid haha
Someone else said they might be counting each frame of a 24fps security camera as a photo, so like less than eight seconds right?
This reminds me of the kid from die hard 3 “look around all the cops are busy, it’s christmas you could steal city hall”
Edit: Found it this one https://youtu.be/47YCsqVhgCQ?feature=shared
Oh shit, a crime the cops actually have to solve, haha, can’t just frame some poor sap this time gotta do some actual detective work. I hope they never catch him and the PD gets defended. I know its NYC and they need cops but I think they could use a haircut at least
They can’t even blame a brown or black person, this is SSS rank detective work and they are a one-legged Kickboxer in this match.
Ya, this white guy must have them stumped.
I’m entirely unconvinced that anyone needs the thugs with badges. Multiple studies have shown that every single time that the NYPD pulls a “blue flu,” the crime rate drops, significantly. As far as I can tell, the thugs with badges cause a significant amount of the crime in this country.
I agree, but if one day we abolished all cops, people in NYC especially would freak out. Hell some cops would probably do a bunch of crime to prove a point. Its not a demand that people like very much, . I think the police as a force that absolutely only exists to protect private property of the owning class, and I don’t know if you wanna hear my “nuanced” opinions and I don’t know if they’re worth very much. But I think that the police as a reactive force needs to be handled tactically in order to protect people who are protesting and force through demands. By and large I agree with Farrell Dobbs analysis in teamster rebellion was, during a political rebellion such as the 1934 Minneapolis teamster strike, the state of a police department changes daily and must be evaluated daily based on primarily their numbers. It would be great for left wing mass movements to make demands on the ruling class if that number was zero, but that’s unrealistic and most people know it.
I mean, yeah, “crime” will be down because they aren’t looking around for people to arrest over minor bullshit.
We all watched them sit around for an hour knowing small children were dying inside a school. We know exactly what they’re made of
they are so annoyed that they actually have to do any work because the subject was rich.
Jury nullification.
You have to say it six times in a row in front of a mirror with the lights off.
He’s not getting a jury. They’re going to cut him down and say he shot himself so his legacy will be that he was a coward . At least that will be the attempt but it seems like everyone will know better
He should walk naked into a major TV studio carrying nothing, ask them to call the cops. Force them to accept a surrender.
“He was in the middle of sexually assaulting the news crew.”
I still don’t think the smiling picture is him. Unless he ditched the backpack and jacket, got different ones and then ditched the backpack again.
Hangs self in cell when camera is broken.
This exactly my thought. They will do everything to make him crazy or suicidal.The good thing is that someone leak what he wrote on the casing. This makes it clear he is socially motivated. Hopefully, if they ever close in, he will have an online stream up.
Americans really need to google these words if they haven’t already.
Most Americans didn’t see any crime…
You are assuming that this saint protector of the working people could be presumably guilty of a crime
Oh no, I’m not talking about this case. Just in general, it’d be good of Americans to inform themselves on that.
In a private browsing window because if they know you know about it you will never serve on a jury.
Good luck going though the search history of every single person up for jury selection.
Also, a “private window” won’t lean jack shit, just means your local personal files won’t save what you do. Cookies and Google and whatnot still do.
If you want to be anon, use TOR with VPN or at least a VPN.
I don’t think its helpful to combine a Tor and VPNs in most situations. Tor itself should be fine
Vpn with tor can hide the fact that you’re using tor from your isp
It pretty much is the VPN as far as I’ve understood it.
That’s not what people mean when they say do not use a VPN with tor

OK, my bad, I’m not too well versed in the subject
thanks
Yep, it’s gotten me out of jury duty twice
If people with intelligence and empathy skip out on jury duty, that leaves idiots and sociopaths to judge the accused.
Well unfortunately I have a job and a mortgage. If the trial goes longer than the few days that my employer is forced to pay me, and I’m stuck with the $50 a day the state pays, I’m fucked. I don’t consider living on the street a civic duty.
That’s fair and I’ve had to bail on jury duty for the same reason, although I was able to participate once.
I hope they fail
So many resources spent for one dead white guy. I dont imagine every murder gets this much attention and expensive work done on it.
The continued existence of police forces in the US depends on their role as protector of the wealthy. They know they must perform their duty or risk losing the protection of their patrons.

A bit unnuanced though
All this time and energy for this good guy, what a waste, fuck cops.
The cops have health insurance with United. I’m pretty sure they’re not going to get this guy.
A 24 frames a second film has 24 photos, so they have roughly 8 seconds of footage?
The boot lickers licking some boot
“200 pics” yeah, sure. They don’t know shit.
