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.

I swear to God this is like the 10th post I've seen of this guy's face and not ONE is serious about tracking the killer. I fucking love it.

Remember. Talking to the police can never help you. Don't tell them you know him. Don't tell them you don't know him.

21

I heard he rode a weather balloon to the ISS. There's no extradition agreement in space.

12

I heard he was heading to Portugal, or was it Brasil? Better check there as well.

This MF wrote "Delay" and "Deny" on his bullets just because.
I'm sure even the people who do actually have info about him won't be saying anything soon.

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.

39

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…

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.

That's all correct and everything, but you do get that this was just a stupid pun, right?

Also I’m pretty sure people are onboard with the blowing up part, not the replacing thing.

Gosh that gentleman has a nice smile. And he allegedly brought a smile to millions of Americans nationwide, too!

I was more thinking Dave Franco. The smile is definitely on point.

If Hollywood has taught me one thing, it's that the hero is handsome and photogenic and the villain is a ugly and greasy...

JUST SAYING.

And here I was feeling bad for confiscating beer from 14 year olds at summer camp at 17 and then drinking it (drinking age 16).

Damn I didn't dare to believe it that defaultism is also prevelant in the fediverse.

I wouldn't recommend making a pest of yourself to the police, in any jurisdiction.

Hey man don't help the cops with more coverage of this guy's face

This is a perfect use of AI. Flood the internet with variations of the original image.

Yell that you have exclusive CCTV footage of him and post those fever-like AI video continuations instead.
Shown him turning into Batman on one.

Call that number and every tipline and report the person responsible for this death and many others - That person's name was Brian Thompson.

I really don't think prank calling the police will end well.

I live several thousand miles away from NYPD jurisdiction. What are they going to do, call me back to scold me?

there was a rogue sheriff going to other states and arresting people on prank calls or something like that.

can't find video ATM.

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.

28

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.

10

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

3

I believe that pic was taken by a security cam from the hostel he was checked into.

lemmy.world

Yes, keep posting this guy face, that'll help him bigly

25

Here is a tip. Most people would be more likely to call the cops on someone shoplifting food to feed their children.

16
discuss.tchncs.de

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.

7

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.

Maybe a family member? He’s old enough to see a grandparent have the quality of their last days stolen.

33

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

18
lemmy.world

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.

19

Agreed 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.

Lost my dad and my home. I’m so fucking ready to kill these assholes. Our politicians won’t hold them accountable. Our justice system won’t hold them accountable. They live lives of absolute luxury while we suffer. It’s overdue. I hope these CEOs never sleep another night restfully. I hope this is only the first…

lemmy.world

Yeah, I just keep coming back to thinking that I wouldn’t even mind if it was a decision made without a profit motive. It was horribly painful and she wanted desperately to survive as long as she could even if it was a life of chemo and pain. But if it was something like the NHS deciding between people getting a fourth go against glioblastoma or keeping rural emergency rooms open and decided that with their limited funds that’s the better option to save more lives I’d understand. But no, it’s for profit, it’s unaccountable, and it fights constantly against such things and against ever serving the public

3

I love the username btw.

Yeah, it’s one thing to ration care at the end of life where the focus is on making a dying person comfortable rather than try to prolong the inevitable as we humans no matter how much we spend trying we can’t live forever nor should we and it’s better to use limited resources to prolong the lives of those who are not near death. But the profit in it is what’s sickening and IMO part of the heart of our decline as a country (capitalism being the main culprit but other countries are capitalist and not nearly as dystopian as us - everything ties back to our fucked healthcare system and liability)

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.

Aww, the libs who run lemmy world can’t handle murderous thoughts? How about an insurance company administratively murdering people for profit? That’s fine right?

Also, I was new to the federated system so I joined the biggest server. They can ban me and I’ll go elsewhere. I’m not censoring myself.

That's the spirit! It would probably only be a comment removal or maybe temp ban but something to think about.

Thanks but I’m gonna keep my thought crimes up with pride. Let them ban me.

Oh, yeah, we usually warm up the house with a hoody fire. You start with some cardboard and then you just add the hoody when it's burning nice and hot. Hard drives, laptops, etc, finger tips. Oh that black stick flute? Its a Mayan death whistle! You blow here and you pull this little lever right here is you're in a hurry and really need to go...you know what I mean?
