Oh shit, a crime the cops actually have to solve, haha, can’t just frame some poor sap this time gotta do some actual detective work. I hope they never catch him and the PD gets defended. I know its NYC and they need cops but I think they could use a haircut at least
We all watched them sit around for an hour knowing small children were dying inside a school. We know exactly what they’re made of
They can’t even blame a brown or black person, this is SSS rank detective work and they are a one-legged Kickboxer in this match.
Ya, this white guy must have them stumped.
I’m entirely unconvinced that anyone needs the thugs with badges. Multiple studies have shown that every single time that the NYPD pulls a “blue flu,” the crime rate drops, significantly. As far as I can tell, the thugs with badges cause a significant amount of the crime in this country.
I agree, but if one day we abolished all cops, people in NYC especially would freak out. Hell some cops would probably do a bunch of crime to prove a point. Its not a demand that people like very much, . I think the police as a force that absolutely only exists to protect private property of the owning class, and I don’t know if you wanna hear my “nuanced” opinions and I don’t know if they’re worth very much. But I think that the police as a reactive force needs to be handled tactically in order to protect people who are protesting and force through demands. By and large I agree with Farrell Dobbs analysis in teamster rebellion was, during a political rebellion such as the 1934 Minneapolis teamster strike, the state of a police department changes daily and must be evaluated daily based on primarily their numbers. It would be great for left wing mass movements to make demands on the ruling class if that number was zero, but that’s unrealistic and most people know it.
I mean, yeah, “crime” will be down because they aren’t looking around for people to arrest over minor bullshit.
If this guy has any brains at all, he’s in Timbuktu by now.
I dunno, Mali hasn’t been doing so hot. I’d be curious what the kidnappers that catch him would do with him though
He could literally take a train to Georgia and just hang out lmfao
Since they know that’s where he came from, pretty sure they’re looking for him threre
How do they know?
They have video of him arriving in NYC on a bus from Atlanta.
How do you know?
Reported 2 days ago on NYC TV.
A smart lad would’ve done that to throw the cops off track. I hope he was smart.
Seems that he’s smarter than the average felon. I watch NYC TV, and the cops just announced they found something in Central Park. If he’s smart he would have ditched the gun.
The odds of him being found fall exponentially each day
He’s definitely not up here in Canada, relaxing in my basement.
Nor mine. They’d better not waste their resources coming up here to have a look.
They are wasting a lot of time and money and energy on this investigation
They obviously value some lives more than others. No surprise, of course.
What lives would those be??
It’s a mystery!
lmagine them catching him, unable to field an unbiased jury, his gofundme flush with cash, prosecutors desparately trying to get him to accept a plea because they know how futile it is
They’re likely just going to execute him when they find him so as to not allow that. Say he was brandishing or something.
It would only make sense for him to turn himself in while accompanied by his lawyer after releasing a statement that he will be doing so. Even so, eventually he’s going to be alone in police custody and I’d be surprised if he survives that for long.
“Why?”
Homer Simpson: No you won’t.
Statistically, there were likely 4 more murders in NYC since this one, I’m sure they’re investigating those just as thoroughly.
DUN-DUN!
Cue BD Wong talking about how the assassin was abused as a child by UHC
Or JK Simmons nonchalantly implying that maybe the CEO deserved it, and that makes the killer the most sane of anyone.
He did deserve it though. We also shouldn’t stop at Health Insurance CEOs, we need to make oil company execs fear for their lives for the damage they are doing to the environment.
To put that in perspective:
All numbers from 2023
NYC:
- 8.25 million inhabitants
- 386 murders
Austria:
- 9.13 million inhabitants
- 72 murders
Big cities have more murders than rural countries, more news at 11.
Best of luck with getting cooperation from citizens at large.
All 337,522,185 of us didn’t see nothin’.
…but the cameras and AI did :(

I’m not too fussed about the AI, to be honest. It’ll just declare that it has 14,986 suspects who “definitely” did it, most of whom will just coincidentally turn out to be black.
The odds of them being able to definitively tie a face to a name in a single stroke are pretty remote. The investigation strategy will probably revolve around tracking down where he went and how he got there. If he rode a bus, they will investigate who was on that bus. Same if he took a plane. Or if he hired an Uber, or whatever. Whose credit cards were used to purchase tickets, whose cell phones were tracked in those locations at those times, etc. Wasn’t he on a rental bike? They will try to track payment methods for those rental bikes. Etc.
Even with all their manpower and spy technologies and cell phone spoofing towers and dogs and any amount of shiny badges, the cops can’t clear a solve rate for murders in the US that’s any better than 50%. So there’s a coin-toss chance this guy didn’t go out of his way to do anything right and still walks away.
According to an ABC article, he apparently used cash for everything. Clever dude if true
I really hope this doesn’t lead business to not accept cash.
I should use more cash on a daily basis to discourage this…
I didn’t know you could use cash for rental bikes.
All the ones in Chicago need the app in order to rent them.
Could you do it with a burner phone and load the app from a Visa gift card? Rent and place the city bike around the corner, do the deed, drop the phone (whether on accident or on purpose), take off on the bike.
Maybe pay a random stranger in cash to rent a bike for you
the cops can’t clear a solve rate for murders in the US that’s any better than 50%.
That is averaged between the murders they don’t care about and the ones they put effort into. It isn’t thst every individual murder has a 50% chsnce of being solved.
I love how they’re using the full force of their resources to catch this guy, but a random murder they put two detectives on for a few months, shrug and close the case.
shrug and close the case
This needs more attention. We should all be collectively outraged at the police response. They should saddle 2 detectives with the case and direct all these resources back to where they were before. The rest of the CEOs can sleep with one eye open.
And every politician, every cop on the street Protects the interests of the pedophilic corporate elite
Thaaaat is how the world works! 🎶
If he shows up at my door, I’ll gladly house him. You should too.
And you don’t have to ask him why he is running. It’s perfectly legal to help a stranger in need without asking them if they broke the law. In fact, it used to be seen as the most Christian thing to do by not judging.
Aiding and abetting murder can result in the same charges and penalties as the principal offender, which could include life in prison without parole
I will take a jury trial ;)
Good luck
it hurts you that people support this guy hehe
good
Doesn’t hurt me. I don’t support murderers
your one says other wise, my neo lib acolyte
Then you must be in quite a conundrum with who was killed here; if you want justice for the CEO by finding the killer of the CEO, you’re supporting a murderer; if you support the killer of the CEO, you’re supporting a killer.
Tough moral quandary.
Yes, all the death can be laid at the feet of one guy. What a simplistic place to live.
Me to the judge: He said he was my cousin Paddy!
Me to the shooter: You lied to me! *wangs him with a skillet*
problem solved.
I do not care
username checks out
No it doesn’t. If it did, the comment would say “Shark does not care”.
Wink.
sudo !!
I’m sorry I don’t watch the news, so I have no idea who this person on my couch is, he just looked like a good guy who does good things.
Don’t let them find your Lemmy account.
What is this “Lemmy” you speak of? Never heard of it…
Your statement could be true, but the way you’re presenting it lets sounds like you’re just letting the oppressors win.
Getting l9cked up by an oppressor. Whoever heard of that?
Got a loaded shotgun waiting for any pig that thinks I’m going in quietly for doing the right thing
We all should
Big talker aren’t ya
If you’re dumb enough to go into jail when fascism is in charge that’s on you
Its called having a plan and knowing what your government thinks of people like you
That’s the thing about big talkers. They always talk big.
This isn’t true. Harboring someone from the police after they commit a crime makes you an accessory, not a primary.
If enough people are accessories, no one is an accessory
I said exactly this to my friend on the phone today.
how about some totally true tips we saw him walk past nearby?
There he goes!
There he goes again!
Racing through my CCTV!
i bet this will become the first public example of the state surveillance being used to protect up our oligarchy and; given the democrat’s obstinacy when it came to constructive criticism during the election; americans will treat it as another nothing-burger like they did with the genocide and it’ll become yet another nail in the coffin of the american empire’s decline; besides the election, ukraine’s defeat, afghanistan withdrawal, iraqi wmd’s, etc.

What do you think it has been used for up to this point?
it’s been done surreptitiously or academic masturbation until now
The government knows when you masturbate The government knows when you feel alone And it’s getting late and you’re sitting at home
i get that this is snark; but in case you really didn’t know: snowden proved that they had this capability circa 2008 and they’ve only gotten better at it after 15+ years.
Oh - it’s not snark… it’s a song: https://youtu.be/4zH9Zca1vRM
the corn dog ammunition belt made the american flags and feel redundant. lol
ukraine’s defeat
Tankie moment.
So is this what people keep talking about when they say they see a lot of tankies in lemmy?
Cause me reading that, OP was implying the likely defeat given current trend, I did not take it as a support of Putin.
yes, it’s tankie to spell out reality in the united states.
sometime i wish this were reddit so i could do remind me next year
No it’s a tankie thing to say Ukraine lost when the war is ongoing. You just want Putin’s dictatorship to have more land.
Down with Russian imperialism.
Slava Ukraini 🇺🇦

i want the ukrainians to exist as sovereign peoples instead of a new vassal state to the dying american empire since the people that i descend from have been trying for almost 500 years to shake off the enslavement of this same empire.
There are no proposals of Ukraine joining the United States.
Russia is the country to blame causing the problems in the region as the Kremlin is responsible for Holodomor and for the rampant corruption in Eastern Europe.
the ukrainian inexplicably want to join the american hegemony called nato on the eve of its collapse; they’re better off on their own w/o serving as a a future proxy battlefield with the collapsing united states empire.
this will become the first public example of the state surveillance being used to protect our oligarchy from us
This feels hyperbolic.
The state protects the status quo, including whoever has money. I wouldn’t limit it to surveillance. If we’re just talking about the US, there’s the Battle of Blair Mountain, all of COINTELPRO, Watergate (I think?), etc.
the difference is that it’s in the news and has widespread appeal.
those examples were either done surreptitiously or were only academic exercises in privacy; this is real-world application of that academic theory that has the chance of not being suppressed or ignored due to its notoriety.
yeah the democrats did it. ffs.

Limp dick regime goons aint got shit… and the long this goes, the more likely he will get away with it.
I hope all of these business “leadership” add to this to their calculus when they fuck over paying customers to live large.
