A collection of some classic Lemmy memes for your enjoyment
MSNBC said on Saturday that police examining the bag and its contents found a jacket and Monopoly money, but no firearm.
Thats a plant. They aren't as close as they say they are. Also 60k as a reward for betraying your entire class? Lmao you better pay kingmaker money.
The NYPD's working theory of what pistol was used doesn't even make sense either. These cops are clueless.
I like how one article said: "The net is tightening," New York City Mayor Eric Adams said Saturday.
No, I don't think it is, but keep saying that.
The net is tightening? Lmao they've widened the search to nearly every metro area between New York and Atlanta
We're looking for a man with a charming smile somewhere in North America. If you've seen anyone smiling on the east coast please call 1(800)BOOT-LIK
If Eric Adams is speaking, he's lying
I wouldn't do it for 60 million.
i thought the idiot mayor of ny leaked that they knew his name but werent releasing it yet.
The fact that each picture of him has been someone different doesn't give me a lot of faith they know his name lmao.
theres more than one pic? ive only seen this one where hes smilin
Yeah, that one is officially not from him.
And the police has been officially never wrong about it, and has been looking for that one guy to interrogate only, maybe ask where he brought his jacket or something like that.
Here's a better one. NYPD doesn't know what the fuck they're after.
So did this guy have a team of decoys running around with him or did the stars align to explicitly fuck that CEO over? lmao
My take is that the cops fed raw surveillance data into their trusty Crime Computer and fully trusted the result. It's a super common silhouette when the daily high temp is in the 30s. Lol.
It's New York. That look is probably very common. Hence why our hero chose it as a disguise.
Also he probably quickly changed his clothes in central park. So a possible thing is that he also changed his hoodie and had a different mask.
But having four different coats? Hard to believe.
But having four different coats? Hard to believe.
It wasn't a man, it was 3 kobolds in a trenchcoat, so it's perfectly plausible
Yeah there’s also one from within a bank, but it’s totally a different person
I feel like that's possibly a prelude to setting up a scapegoat. You can't let people think he got away with it.
I think that’s entirely possible. If this guy gets away Scott free and people know he did? Expect more attempts at CEO murder.
One t in scot-free.
From Scotland, where there are 3 possible verdicts to a murder trial:
Guilty
Not Guilty
Not Proven
In the 3rd instance, we may or may not all know you did it, but the State couldn't prove their case, so you get away scot-free.
Oh no shit eh? I was actually wondering as I typed that what the proper way to spell it was and where it came from. Thanks man!
According to this, it had originally literally meant "exempt from royal tax": https://www.etymonline.com/word/scot-free#etymonline_v_22952
Title goes extremely hard
Everyone should spread the word on Jury Nullification. The way society is heading, we're going to need it sooner or later. It needs to be common knowledge cuz they tend to throw ppl out of court for knowing about it or talking about it.
Luigi Manigone.
the legend
GoFundMe already shut down his fundraiser. Probably their CEO is nervous.
I'm not usually a conspiracy theorist, but so many things seem off. Dude's got an engineering degree, pulled off a cold-blooded assassination in broad daylight and evaded capture for almost a week... And then it turns out he's an absolute idiot who keeps around a "ghost gun" in public, keeps around the same fake ID he'd used to book into the NYC hostel, and keeps a manifesto on his person?
Part of me thinks this is some rando that's gonna have to take the fall so that the rest of America believes that the police is all-powerful and can find any criminal. Hell, part of me thinks this perfect suspect is all made up.

i heard about the story but i dont know any of the details - why do people like this guy/hate united healthcare ceo can somebody explain?
UHC is top insurance company per the stock market.
UHC denies the most claims costing people their lives who can't afford medical care out of pocket.
Shooter is praised for pulling an uno reverse card on the UHC CEO by denying them medical care through taking their life.
Also, a lawsuit last year was accusing the company of using AI to automatically deny claims - https://www.cbsnews.com/news/unitedhealth-lawsuit-ai-deny-claims-medicare-advantage-health-insurance-denials/
"This is an example of how AI is being utilized not to help people but to line the pockets of corporations and their shareholders," Clarkson said. When these coverage denials are appealed to federal administrative law judges, about 90% are reversed, the complaint said, demonstrating the "blatant inaccuracy" of the algorithm. Only a tiny fraction of patients appeal the denials at all, Clarkson said.
It's also important to note that medical bankruptcy is a major cause of suicide in America
Healthcare companies, especially insurance companies, make a living out of denying claims so that people go bankrupt and/or die from denied claims. It's unethical and downright evil, but they do it anyway. It would be hard not to hate the CEOs of those companies. After all, medical expenses is the leading cause of bankruptcies in USA.
Important to point out this is usually after they've been paying for that insurance their whole life.
