    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.

          They gotta prove it was him. Also it sucks. Really hard. Like gun charges? What happened? How did they figure? If I did something with a gun like that I’d have to do my best to get rid of the gun (disassemble and destroy the parts first).

            He gave the cops a fake ID. That’s probably grounds for searching him.

            He was concealing a gun without an LTCF. The supressor isn’t considered a firearm in PA, but I’m going to guess he didn’t have a proper tax stamp for it from the ATF.

        I hope some way to donate to his defense fund opens up.

        I wish I could take his consequences so he could remain free.

        I’m a coward that takes the beatings and whinges on the internet, he is a man who won’t accept defeat, even under entrenched oligarch occupation.

      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.

        It reeks of bs.

        My current head canon is that it IS him, but some very illegal government spying was used to find him. Claim an anonymous tip lead to him and then grab him. Then they conveniently find him in possession of an orgy of evidence a la Minority Report.

          That sounds completely plausible. Three letter agencies have ridiculous amounts of intel. They for sure know which building and apartment I’m commenting from and I’m a foreigner on a pseudonymous website. Plus there’s the however-many eyes agreement for when you need to get intel but can’t spy on your own citizens.

          Honestly I’m reminded of that time when Russians found that guy with 3 copies of The Sims when the security services were obviously told to find him with 3 sim cards so he’d look extra guilty

        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.

          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…

      This. As a juror, you can absolutely vote to not convict someone if you think they’re being prosecuted under an unjust law. Just don’t mention “jury nullification” in front of a judge or prosecutors. They hate that.

      Healthcare companies, especially insurance companies, make a living out of denying claims so that people go bankrupt and/or die from denied claims. It’s unethical and downright evil, but they do it anyway. It would be hard not to hate the CEOs of those companies. After all, medical expenses is the leading cause of bankruptcies in USA.

    Guy should just surrender and go to trial. I bet they will find it hard to get 12 person to find him guilty.

      Fuck off. If he surrendered he will be killed. There is no way the billionaire class would allow a peasant like us to try to harm them and survive. They will also demonize him and drag him through the mud and claim he is a pedophile rapist who killed for pleasure.

      Juries are specifically selected to avoid people capable of critical thinking, and people knowledgeable about jury nullification.

      If it goes to trial his chances are slim. If he knows what’s good from him, he’s already in a foreign country with no extradition treaty, or halfway across the country in a remote section of wilderness laying low for the next few months.
