   So how did they catch him?

   Was it the thousands of hours of NYPD overtime, for cops walking around central park? No.

   Was it Sherlock Holmes style detective work? No.

   Someone dropped a dime on him, while he was eating his McMuffin.

   And he conveniently had the weapon and his manifesto on him.🤦🏿♂️

     All the CSI is just to tie the story together:

     * This ID is the one used to check into the hostel

     * This silenced pistol matches the one that made these spent shell casings found at the scene

     * This manifesto gives motive

     If he had gotten rid of that evidence, it would be harder to make a case.

     Today in justice:

     * They did find the man that killed the Healthcare CEO. Because they made the whole country "be on look out" (BOLO) for him.

     * They didn't find the man that killed an immigrant on the same day. No info shared.

     * The man that choked a Black man to death was found "not guilty"

     All their policing boiled down to the willingness of a witness to come forward.

     Interesting enough, a lot of the discourse we see online indicates that people wouldn’t have wanted to come forward.

     Those are the dynamics that can make or break an investigation like that.

     Sounds like you are giving tutelage to the terrorists that may want to come in his footsteps you terrorist sympathiser you!

     But seriously, discard your weapon and don't use real ID is like crime101.

     Apparently it was a fake ID with fake name. It was the one used to check in to that hostel.

     @mekkaokereke thank you. It’s valuable to remind a lot of folks about the many lies embedded in the white supremacist line ‘All Lives Matter’

     A common misconception among americans, is that in prison, healthcare is free. It's not free. A doctor's visit can cost up to $25.

     When you're only earning 70 cents an hour for your prison labor, that can make healthcare unaffordably expensive.

     Every one year you spend incarcerated in the US, lowers your life expectancy by 2 years. 🙂🙃

     @mekkaokereke At least in prison, he'll get free healthcare.

     @mekkaokereke would love to understand what happened in that jury room, as they hung on manslaughter, got that dismissed, and then acquitted on the lesser charge anyway. (I guess jury nullification isn't as rare as I thought.)

     I know, I know -- racism! But the killing happened in front of witnesses, on video. Did jurors come out and say "he was black so I'm voting to acquit"? I just don't see how else you get there in a case as open-and-shut as this one.

     So far, the point of this thread seems to have been missed.

     If a person of color or some other marginalized person had been killed on the same spot would all of the same resources have been spent? If the killer was white in that scenario would he go to jail? Would it grab the headlines?
