did he kept the same scarf?

      Photo taken by police inside a police station. Sure seems like the definition of a mugshot

      Edit: well I failed at dumbly trusting the caption of a random user on the internet.

    There’s no way he could have done this. Luigi sucks up ghosts inside rich people’s homes, not makes ghosts outside.

      It’s his own home. Who do you think made the ghosts to get the property price down?

      The owners are trying to stop us from being able to.

      GoFundMe, a for profit organization, took it down.

        Counterpoint: how would you ensure each go fund me actually goes to this guy’s defense and not some random scammer? Apparently his family is wealthy. I’m assuming all those go fund me pages are “unofficial” and not associated with him.

        Honestly as much as I dislike crypto, this is the one time where it could actually come in clutch. Big corporates can’t stop people from wiring bitcoin to an address.

          True, but how would you organise that? There are plenty of scummy crypo-bros who would be more than willing to use this to line their wallet.

          I’ve always said crypto isn’t completely useless, it should just be what it was always meant to be and no more:

          A currency to buy drugs anonymously on the darknet.

          Could have just stopped at OG bitcoin for that. All the rest is idiocy. It’s good for that niche, and nothing else.

            Is he repped yet? If not and anyone knows how to get in touch with his people please contact me. I have a line on a few free attorneys that take cases of this magnitude.

              He comes from a decently wealthy family, I’m sure they have a guy unless they disown him. Looks like nobody had heard from him in awhile.

    Regardless of his personal politics, he did a good thing (assuming this even is the assassin)

    Adventurism won’t get us far though. One dead corporate ghoul won’t do much; we need an organized party.

      For as many times as they cla m this guy has changed clothes, you’d think they would have changed him into his jail outfit. Also don’t mug shots usually include a number? And I suppose this bumpkin ass PD doesn’t have height markers on the wall.

        He enlists into the Turkish army and meets a Kurdish refugee he befriends and they slowly fall in love as they try to bring to light of the Erdoğan scourge and create a Rojava state together

    Doesn’t look like him. Super convenient that the gun can’t be traced so we just have to trust the cops that it really was his, and that he was just out walking around with the gun and a manifesto, just days after, when anyone would be lying low?? Not buying it.

      I think that some people had trouble with the raised angle of the hostel smile photo, and the way that cameras of different focal lengths (technically, more a function of distance between camera and subject) tend to flatten three dimensional features in slightly different ways. The posts where people were saying that various pictures don’t look like the same person, but like you, I think they look pretty similar.

    Honestly this looks like a different guy, personally I would acquit if they put him on trial with those photos as evidence. I’d be nervous if police asked me if I was in New York this week too.

    I’m kinda sick & tired of this story already, because it’s become a media spectacle that takes our eye off the ball: US private health insurance, US healthcare in general, and capitalism.

      100% Killing one pos CEO doesn’t fix the problem. Large company’s are already talking about beefing up security for their ceos. Like will it even matter?

        No, it doesn’t, but it’s been something that has brought people from across the political spectrum together. Even Ben Shapiro’s fans called him out on trying to drum this up as a “radical Left bad” issue.

        If there’s an upside it’s that it focuses people’s attention on the class struggle we’re all part of, whether we want to be or not. Some people will be realizing this for the first time; others will be experiencing a feeling of working class solidarity for the first time; and for others it will be a focal point in conversations that can raise people’s consciousness of what’s going on.

      People are injured and killed by gun violence in the U.S. every day, and it barely makes the news because we’ve become numb to it and politicians fail to act. What makes this case any different?

        That guy don’t give a fuck about what we care about.

        He just wanted to slip his brain dead agenda on the communist theory every where it doesn’t belong.

        He appears salty that a related revolutionary entered the scene and made his cosplay look pathetic.

      How much were people talking about those issues before all of this? There were whispers, but no concerted dialogue. Now is our chance to have one. Don’t waste it.
