Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.

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 --

-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--

-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--

-- 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. --

You guys are not going to be happy with him

This seems as faked as epsteins suicide. The NY bourgeoisie were putting a ton of pressure on the NYPD to find someone who killed one of their own class, and the cops picked the first patsy who turned up, and are claiming the evidence fits.

I dunno, if he really was the guy, wouldn't the police have shot him dead?

Maybe the Pennsylvania police wouldn't have as much motivation to off him as the NYPD, but still... if he's really the guy, the government now risks a good-looking dude most people like to be interviewed on why he did it. Not to mention a drawn out court case. They're risking nationwide radicalization, even if this guy really is a cringe Elon fan. Yes, even if this guy isn't a leftist and hasn't changed in the last few months, he could still be a "healthcare pls" kinda fella.

Or... and I'm absolutely getting into conspiracy theories here... some libertarian saw this shit on the news, somehow had access to private investigation info like the exact fake ID card used (Maybe he knows some cops? Maybe anonymous is leaking info?), and already owned a similar enough gun. He thought, "Yeah, this sounds like a money making opportunity, and since I didn't do it they'll ultimately find me innocent anyway", and travels to a different area full of health insurance vampires. I can't imagine the amount of donations, fame, and maybe even book and movie deals this kind of folk hero could get in the future.
