    Boo!

    Also, people in NYC should really look up jury nullification and spread the word about it. For no particular reason whatsoever.

      I mean, if Daniel Penny wasn’t guilty, then anything is possible.

        This exec was both a clear and present danger and likely to continue killing people, neither of which clearly apply to the homeless dude.

          Exactly! Anything is possible with an NYC jury at this point.

          You’re right, this is clearly a case of self-defense of a third party

    Tell me that doesn’t sound like a mob boss’s name.

    A McDonalds employee snitched. What an anticlimactic ending to the manhunt.

        Yeah that’s crazy to think about. Putting aside this specific case, the facts that suspects are being posted online and all their info being dug up is scary. What if it’s wrong and someone’s life is ruined by social media potentially forever?

        In this case it would work out a bit differently, so again I mean more general speaking.

    What strange choice of words to describe Ted Kaczynskl as “wacky”. He was a terrorist who killed people because of the destruction of the environment. So misguided or extreme might be good descriptive words but he definitely wasn’t Steve Urkle.

    The Post is very clearly writing this story to say a person who does this is a ridiculous loser, but just makes him sound cool. Also, “ex-Ivy League student” is a really weird way to say “got a masters degree from an Ivy League school”. He’s not a dropout, he finished and then moved to the next stage of his professional life.

      It’s the NY Post, it’s a trash tabloid.

      The article full of all kinds of weird descriptions that seem to intentionally downplay everything. I just made a comment about them calling the Unabomber “wacky”. Interesting that they don’t call this young man an Ivy League Grad in the title but they do mention it in the article.
