aby is tired of your bullshitThe suspect was able to evade police by carrying extra clothes to change into, use e-bikes to escape into Central Park, he used a fake ID to book a room at a hostel and Greyhound bus tickets, wore masks in areas he knew there would be cameras, etc.
This is an organised person who thought and meticulously planned out his actions.
The person the police have found allegedly had on his person:
- a gun
- a silencer
- a 3 page handwritten manifesto
- the same fake ID he used to book the rooms
...
Why was he still carrying these things?
- you expect us to believe that the same person who went to those lengths NOT to be caught is going to be carrying around what amounts to a handwritten note declaring his guilt?
It's 2024.. who hand writes a manifesto?
- this guy has a masters of engineering, and you think he's handwriting his manifesto?
- you think anyone who has completed a masters is going to be able to keep their word count down to 3 pages??
- I've read numerous manifestos written by people who have engaged in political acts of violence - not one of them was under 10 pages, most were 20+
The manifesto uses stats from a 2007 AP story about the life expectancy ranking of the USA compared to the rest of the world
- there were stats from 2022 he could have quoted that prove his point better, but he used old stats? There's a recent Lancet study that show his point even more than the 2022 article, and he didn't use that either??
- again, he has a masters degree.. it's not like he doesn't know the importance of research based evidence or how to get it (and by the time you do a masters, this shit is baked into your personality tbh)
...
There were a number of organised efforts to inundate the tip lines with false reports about sightings of this guy
- but police followed up this specific report ('he looks like the guy, he's at McDonalds eating a burger") quickly enough to intercept him before he finished his meal, out of the possible 10s of thousands (maybe 100s of thousands) of fake tips they were getting?
- as organised as he is about getting away, he goes and sits in a McDonalds to eat?
...
The cops absolutely HAVE to find someone to charge. Not only are they worried this is going to kick off something, but CEOs are worried (and calling their friends in High Places to demand this guy be found). And they have to do it quickly.
I don't think this is the guy.
I also don't think that they care that this isn't the guy.
I am super curious to see the outcome of this, though.. there's a LOT of talk about jury nullification around this, and I can see laws being changes so that this either doesn't go before a jury, or so that nullification is taken off the books as an option for juries.
