A grainy image of his face drew comparisons to Hollywood heartthrobs. A jacket similar to the one he’s wearing on wanted posters is reportedly flying off the shelves. And the words written on the bullets he used to kill a man in cold blood on a sidewalk on Wednesday have become, for some people, a rallying cry.

Four days after a gunman assassinated a top health insurance executive in Midtown Manhattan and vanished, the unidentified suspect has, in some quarters, been venerated as something approaching a folk hero.

In an alternate universe, Joker is considered a hero because he killed the criminal and the corrupt while Batman allowed them to live. Joker, a hero against the system, the vigilante who is a vigilante and not just status quo, the vigilante the city needed but not the one it deserved. The Joker movie could set a pretty sweet alternate universe.

It's been almost a week. And every day they don't catch him the lower their chances. I'm starting to have hope they'll never catch him.

What was written on the bullets?

"Deny, Defend, Depose" is what was "officially" shared, but it's earily similar to the title of a book 'Deny, Delay, Defend' referring to the insurance company policies to avoid making claim payouts.

In any case, the effect is the same.

That's amazing. I'm glad it's clear the reason why, no-one can deny it.

You see that, Lemmings? Your fetishism got us in the news, I hope you're proud of yourselves for getting us all labelled as the people horny for murdering.

Dude, I was at the grocery store and the manager started joking about killing ceos to me. I'd only made a comment about our state not having banned beer yet. This is mainstream, unlike lemmy
