So we crowdfunding his legal aid or what?
The owners are trying to stop us from being able to.
GoFundMe, a for profit organization, took down an attempt to raise money for him.
He allegedly killed a low level owner, after all! Not some poorie livestock!
Raise all the money for poories you like though. Use GoFundMe, a percentage of your charitable transaction will go to their glorious private shareholders!
(don't use GoFundMe anymore)
We need to set up a crypto wallet or a super PAC for him.
Counterpoint: how would you ensure each go fund me actually goes to this guy's defense and not some random scammer? Apparently his family is wealthy. I'm assuming all those go fund me pages are "unofficial" and not associated with him.
Is "legal aid" the codename for the field-expedient MRAPs we build and man to spring him from prison? If so then yes.
Isn't his family super wealthy? They're probably taking care of that
Google trends in US for jury nullification over last 30 days...
Now this is the line going up I can get behind.
Doesn't look like him. Super convenient that the gun can't be traced so we just have to trust the cops that it really was his, and that he was just out walking around with the gun and a manifesto, just days after, when anyone would be lying low?? Not buying it.
There is a world where this guy is mentally ill - schizophrenia for example - and this is yet another example of the mentally ill falling through the gaping cracks in the US health care system.
To not dispose of the weapon or the fake ID, and continue wearing the same clothes suggests irrational behaviour.
Unfortunately the US legal system only seemingly regards mental ill health as a defense if you're very rich and lawyered up.
News is saying his family is very wealthy. They own country clubs, health care facilities and real estate companies. And his cousin is a state delegate in Maryland. He also graduated from Ivy League college.

So ghost guns not have distinctive rifling?
https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/the-field-of-firearms-forensics-is-flawed/
Bullet and rifling forensics is not based on science
A barrel is a barrel, and I think it highly unlikely that a mass-produced product leaving a unique fingerprint on something that's been smushed into a completely different shape can be used as forensic evidence. Unless you know of it being scientifically proven, it is the domain of TV CSI.
Glocks are the Toyota Corolla of handguns. They are the preferred weapon of police departments and federal agencies the world over.
They, and many modern firearms, use a rotary hammer forged barrel with polygonal rifling that does not leave unique markings like traditional cut rifling.
Also, forensic ballistics are mostly bunk, like forensic bite marks.
His eyebrows don't match the images from the security cameras. Those are bushier.
He's Bachelor #3. I have no problem with that. The jackets even match.
Yeah, these look like three different people. Mugshot doesn't look like the gunman, but does kinda resemble the taxi passenger. I'm not convinced this is the guy.
Yeah, what the fuck, he grew a unibrow within a few days??
Mediterranean genes are fun like that
Yeah they match more the other picture of the dude smiling, which itself doesn't really look like the guy.
Look at all the lengths they go to when the victim is a rich exploiter.
Yeah thats a bit odd. This is the supposed picture of him in the taxi:
and this is the picture of him above, with a unibrow:
It's weird. How did he grow a unibrow in like 3 days?
Almost like they generated some AI images from old Facebook posts but didn't realize he stopped tweezing since he stopped pisting puctures online.
Carefully, he's a hero
I'm thinking of sam rami spider man
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.
On the other hand, it reminds everybody how much they hate the US health insurance system. And I mean everybody.
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.
I feel it kinda highlights the healthcare and insurance issues, really puts it in our collective sights
never underestimate the power of symbol
It takes our eye off the fact that a fascist regime is about to take power in a month.
Politics grifters are trying to reassert their narratives already?
Pathetic
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.
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?
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.
Ohh wow... Really... Not very proletariat of u boo
Why does he have a big mouse cursor in his ear, is that a fashion statement or something
Nah, ears are as unique as finger prints. They're trying to make it hard for someone else to disprove he's the killer.
I knew it
Unnecessary police brutality during arrest with a bow and arrow
I knew it.
Shitty AirPod photoshop.
I knew it.
Meh, so what? We already got a felon for our next president, why can't this fella run for president?
If he announces his run, he won't be able to go to jail.
We know that now, right?
He's too young.
Nothing matters anymore, anyway.
That didn't stop Deez Nuts from legally running for president (I think he was 15 years old at the time).
Edit: Confirmed, he was 15 years old.
I’d vote for him.
I call bullshit. They don't do mugshots with a jacket and scarf on.
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.
Doesn't even look like the same guy.
You'll need to be more specific about which of the pictures of random guys you mean he looks nothing like
He at best matches one of 8...
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
Not a mugshot
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.
Cite your source link
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.
They're gonna Lee Harvey Oswald this poor guy if they can't get a jury to take the pigs at their word
Fuck he's hot
So, what's your fanfiction about?
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
There's no way he could have done this. Luigi sucks up ghosts inside rich people's homes, not makes ghosts outside.
Two thoughts here:
-
How do they find an impartial jury? Is it possible to find an impartial jury?
-
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.

This feels like a framed catch to make us feel like this wasn’t possible to get away with
In which case the real guy is free to do it again
Some people must have face blindness cause to me this dude looks like the other pictures we saw after the shooting.
Idk, I would not ruin a man's life over the similarities. But then again I am quite terrible at telling faces apart
The angle is very different
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.
I love you for that parenthesis. Just today I was watching this excellent video which touches on this: https://youtu.be/wd4s0vqD0Zw
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.
His face says: "Yup I did it, and I'd do it again!"
His face says no jury will ever convict him!
Protip: always look up and smile for mugshots
Absolutely chadified! ✊
I really hoped they arrested the wrong guy, but those are some strong eyebrows...
Here's to hoping for jury notification.
Where can I get that scarf!?
You wanna know how I got these scarfs?
- The Joker
BULLSHIT.
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'm going to learn how to sculpt clay just so I can make honorary bust of this legend.
just looks like some random guy of mediterranean descent. I am sure there’s lots of dudes who look like that who’ve themselves murderized 1000s of Palestinians in the past week alone.
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
Really tied it all together here didn’t you.
I sense many shirts coming on.
If Trump can milk it, so can you.
I have nipples. Can you milk me?
Did you ever drink Bailey's from a shoe?
There is a lot of reaching in these comments saying it's not this guy and acting like he's a idolized hero. He has the gun, the clothes, the eye brows, facial features, his movements were tracked, manifesto like come on. He made a ton of mistakes along the way. Accept it. Its LIKELY he got caught. I'll probably get downvoted but oh well. Live in reality people. It seems a lot online sadly do not.
There's even people in posts talking about how to do better and advice and tips. What the actual fuck lol. Lemmy seems like the new 4chan sometimes. Undoubtedly monitored like all online platforms. People are either arm chair generals or idiots for talking on the internet.
Oh my friend, you're here trying to lecture the internet and ignoring the lulz. IMO life is too stressful for that approach, but you do you. ... by the way, 1A protects nearly all speech. There are limits, but general advice and tips are nowhere near the edge of acceptability.
