      I believe that pic was taken by a security cam from the hostel he was checked into.

        If this isn’t the right guy and this guy sees his photo he should probably lawyer up and turn himself in ASAP.

        I’m no lawyer, but the legal system calls this “reasonable doubt” and if you are on a jury, you are duty bound to do your best to judge the case on the facts, not vibes.

        And the fact is, a grainy photo of two people who may have somewhat similar clothing is not proof, nor mens rea required for a possible murder conviction - who are we to claim to understand the mind of this individual?

        The state has a high bar to clear that this anonymous shopper, is the same person they claim, the photo was taken on the same day, that this photo isn’t a forgery/deepfake, that only one set of that particular clothing was ever sold- otherwise it’s hearsay and conjecture.

        They’re saying he changed clothes. Which I suppose is possible. Maybe he can also change his height and sex and skin color. Maybe he’s a shapeshifter.

    I swear to God this is like the 10th post I’ve seen of this guy’s face and not ONE is serious about tracking the killer. I fucking love it.

      Maybe a family member? He’s old enough to see a grandparent have the quality of their last days stolen.

      My healthcare beefs started younger. By the time I graduated college I’d done more rounds than I’d bothered counting over pre approving the same meds I’d been on for years and if you remember those scary government death panels that they told us were why we can’t have single payer healthcare, well a corporate one killed my mom.

      Like I’ve expressed that pain a fair bit in the past day and it’s not even that I think it was inexcusable for that decision to be made, but I’d spent years hearing about this nightmare scenario as a reason to keep a broken system only to find out that we already had it except without the ability to vote to change policies.

      In America, on one of the worst days of your life, regardless of your age, a health insurer may very well be there to add some salt to the wound of your tragedy or to make you worry that your uncertainty of if you’ll live might make your family lose their house.

        Lost my dad and my home. I’m so fucking ready to kill these assholes. Our politicians won’t hold them accountable. Our justice system won’t hold them accountable. They live lives of absolute luxury while we suffer. It’s overdue. I hope these CEOs never sleep another night restfully. I hope this is only the first…

          Yeah, I just keep coming back to thinking that I wouldn’t even mind if it was a decision made without a profit motive. It was horribly painful and she wanted desperately to survive as long as she could even if it was a life of chemo and pain. But if it was something like the NHS deciding between people getting a fourth go against glioblastoma or keeping rural emergency rooms open and decided that with their limited funds that’s the better option to save more lives I’d understand. But no, it’s for profit, it’s unaccountable, and it fights constantly against such things and against ever serving the public

        Agreed on all points. The republicans freaked out about the “death panels”, but obviously they didn’t really care if people died or not.

        They just wanted them to be profitable death panels and to make people rich.

      I’ve wanted to kill these motherfuckers since I was 23 and they killed my father. I’m 35 right now and just waiting for the right opportunity to do so.

      They probably killed someone close to him.

      I have an alibi, I was at work. But I was cheering the second I heard the news. I owe the killer a beer.

              Aww, the libs who run lemmy world can’t handle murderous thoughts? How about an insurance company administratively murdering people for profit? That’s fine right?

              Also, I was new to the federated system so I joined the biggest server. They can ban me and I’ll go elsewhere. I’m not censoring myself.

      It is. Unless of course, you didn’t know it wasn’t true and you call again in 3 days to let them know your realised you were wrong.

        Actually it very explicitly is not. Per there website:

        “Is Crime Stoppers part of the police? We are NOT the police.

        All local Crime Stoppers programs act as the “intermediary” between the Tipster and the investigative/police agency. They are not-for-profits and mostly registered charities that are operated by volunteers from the community. The programs rely on donations from sponsors, community partners and the public through individual fundraisers, to support their efforts.”

        It is not a crime to lie in most circumstances, that includes to the police in some cases. In most jurisdictions you cannot lie about your name and address and while under oath. Everytime else is free game.
