Rules:

-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --

-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --

-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --

-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today/ . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --

-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --

-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

it doesn't mean much that the smile looks the same, the snitch called specifically because he thought he looked the same. if anything it makes it less likely, because it was really unlikely for those smile pictures to be of the right guy, he wouldn't have been walking around wearing the same outfit but slightly different the next day

also he's posting about investment opportunities...?

i really get the feeling this was going to be a copycat with a different ideology

god i hope so. i mean there's not one post about healthcare and nothing indicating this guy is anything but a full on capitalist bootlicker "free thinker" christian anti-DEI incel

kind of guy to do a mass shooting or "targeted" killings of women not this

[–] [email protected] 18 points 1 week ago (2 children)

part of my reasoning is he didn't say the manifesto was specifically about the healthcare industry, but "some ill will toward corporate america". that could mean a million different things, like it could be anti-DEI even. the shooter specifically linked back to a book that was specifically about the healthcare industry.

the DDD bullets really make me think someone with this guys background is unlikely. Also, if he was an anti-DEI guy, why would he kill an old white CEO?

[–] [email protected] 14 points 1 week ago

yeah exactly. copycat for sure, or just framed.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 1 week ago

Maybe he's had a come to jesus moment in the past 6 months?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 week ago

Not a lot of non white CEOs to choose from

[–] [email protected] 17 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

yep it's going to be woke CCP agents are destroying our pure American capitalism and healthcare industry and he killed the CEO because the AI he deployed sucked and dude thinks he could have written a better one or some shit

I dunno, according to this article (https://www.axios.com/2024/12/09/luigi-mangione-unitedhealthcare-ceo-shooting-altoona) the fake ID they found on him was the same one used in the New York hotel they saw the shooter in.

It was extremely dumb to not get rid of the incriminating evidence.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 1 week ago (1 children)

we always said those pics were definitely not the shooter, right

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 week ago

Many people have been saying that, but you won't hear from people like me who have been reserving conclusions.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 1 week ago (1 children)

the copycat idea fits a lot of inconsistencies here, but the resemblance is pretty strong. I don't know what to think rn

[–] [email protected] 22 points 1 week ago (3 children)

It's too strong a coincidence that the picture of the smiling suspect who everyone though was not the real killer also happens to be a copycat. Maybe the cops circulated that picture after finding a guy to pin this on but I dunno, just seems too elaborate for the NYPD.

The delay, deny, depose engravings don't seem like they'd be written by someone with this dude's ideology but shrug-outta-hecks

Maybe the tech bro who shot a CEO in broad daylight is just kind of a weird guy

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 week ago (2 children)

well I'd imagine they immediately churned the image they had through every facial recognition program they could across their whole database of ID photographs etc, so finding a similar-looking patsy is not the biggest hurdle

🤓: "Hello fine day isn't it officer?"

🐷: "Here hold this"

And then plant this guy in a western Pen McDonalds with a suppressor and multiple IDs?

[–] [email protected] 13 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

You say that as if you think the pigs wouldn't or couldn't fabricate that evidence. Only thing I believe for certain at this point is they found him at McD's in Altoona

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 week ago

This doesn't necessarily strike me as a weird load out here in America. I am thinking there area few guys like that in every city. Just vibin

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 week ago

I think that picture went out too soon for it to be a situation where the detectives had already concluded the case was unsolvable and they need to go find a warm body to throw in prison to save face.
