    Good guy being nice to coffee shop workers. Smiling and saying thank you. Removing problems from the world. A true American Hero.

      Just look at that Hollywood smile. Is it a classic superhero movie with a modern twist? I bet he took some cats from the trees when dropping his bike in the park.

        This MF wrote “Delay” and “Deny” on his bullets just because.
        I’m sure even the people who do actually have info about him are happy to stay quiet.

      How do we even know that’s the killer? The person who shot was wearing a mask. For all we know it wasn’t even a man, some women are flat chested it’s possible. They should probably just call off the investigation since there’s no clues for anything.

        Isn’t he wearing different clothes in the pics where his face is visible? And the cops are saying he changed clothes? Which could be true, but also could not be true…

      • AllNewTypeFace@leminal.space ⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

        Fawkes was a religious fanatic who sought to blow up the English Parliament to replace it with a theocracy, so as an actual historical figure, he’s not much of a progressive role model.

    Is that real? Why would dude take his mask off?

    source
    • sus@programming.dev ⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      It’s “real” in that the police shared the picture: x.com/NYPDnews/status/1864706407985221974

      though the clothing seems different from an earlier picture, especially with this one having big front pockets in the jacket. so there’s claims that it is not the same suspect.

      source
      • Milk_Sheikh@lemm.ee ⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

        I’m no lawyer, but the legal system calls this “reasonable doubt” and if you are on a jury, you are duty bound to do your best to judge the case on the facts, not vibes.

        And the fact is, a grainy photo of two people who may have somewhat similar clothing is not proof, nor mens rea required for a possible murder conviction - who are we to claim to understand the mind of this individual?

        The state has a high bar to clear that this anonymous shopper, is the same person they claim, the photo was taken on the same day, that this photo isn’t a forgery/deepfake, that only one set of that particular clothing was ever sold- otherwise it’s hearsay and conjecture.

        source
      • jaybone@lemmy.world ⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

        They’re saying he changed clothes. Which I suppose is possible. Maybe he can also change his height and sex and skin color. Maybe he’s a shapeshifter.

        source
      • psycho_driver@lemmy.world ⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

        If this isn’t the right guy and this guy sees his photo he should probably lawyer up and turn himself in ASAP.

    it’s not a crime to give false tips, right?

    source
    • JohnyRocket@discuss.tchncs.de ⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      It is. Unless of course, you didn’t know it wasn’t true and you call again in 3 days to let them know your realised you were wrong.

      source
      • yeather@lemmy.ca ⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

        Actually it very explicitly is not. Per there website:

        “Is Crime Stoppers part of the police? We are NOT the police.

        All local Crime Stoppers programs act as the “intermediary” between the Tipster and the investigative/police agency. They are not-for-profits and mostly registered charities that are operated by volunteers from the community. The programs rely on donations from sponsors, community partners and the public through individual fundraisers, to support their efforts.”

        It is not a crime to lie in most circumstances, that includes to the police in some cases. In most jurisdictions you cannot lie about your name and address and while under oath. Everytime else is free game.

    Dude looks pretty young to have a healthcare beef. But what do I know about anyone’s life.

        Yeah, could be anyone. A partner, parent or grandparent, sibling, friend… Lots of ways healthcare could negatively affect anyone’s life.

        He’s old enough for it to be a parent or a child.

        source
    • captainlezbian@lemmy.world ⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      My healthcare beefs started younger. By the time I graduated college I’d done more rounds than I’d bothered counting over pre approving the same meds I’d been on for years and if you remember those scary government death panels that they told us were why we can’t have single payer healthcare, well a corporate one killed my mom.

      Like I’ve expressed that pain a fair bit in the past day and it’s not even that I think it was inexcusable for that decision to be made, but I’d spent years hearing about this nightmare scenario as a reason to keep a broken system only to find out that we already had it except without the ability to vote to change policies.

      In America, on one of the worst days of your life, regardless of your age, a health insurer may very well be there to add some salt to the wound of your tragedy or to make you worry that your uncertainty of if you’ll live might make your family lose their house.

      source
      • RememberTheApollo_@lemmy.world ⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

        Greed on all points. The republicans freaked out about the “death panels”, but obviously they didn’t really care if people died or not. They just wanted them to be profitable death panels and to make people rich.

      I’ve wanted to kill these motherfuckers since I was 23 and they killed my father. I’m 35 right now and just waiting for the right opportunity to do so.

      They probably killed someone close to him.

      I have an alibi, I was at work. But I was cheering the second I heard the news. I owe the killer a beer.
