This Reddit post captures exactly what I mean.

It’s kind and admirable that people are showing support and admiration for him, but let’s put ourselves in his shoes. His life is on the line. The justice system is using him as a pawn, and businesses have a vested interest in his downfall. Yet, the very people who could help him are preoccupied with digging into his past and obsessing over irrelevant details.

They aren’t pushing for his right to a fair trial. They aren’t questioning who is handling his case or whether their interests are impartial.

Instead, they’re looking up personal childhood memories and photos, analyzing his likes, comments, and parties.

This is the time to talk about healthcare disparities and injustices—the systems that failed him and led to his current situation. His life is on the line, and we need to keep the focus on the critical conversations that could make a difference.

We should be outraged that health insurance companies have the power to influence the justice system and make it do their bidding.

So it seems like there are two possibilities:

One possibility is that the person who did the shooting changed his jacket right before the shooting- but into a different jacket that was remarkably similar (a puzzling choice! He brought two almost identical jackets with him? He changed his jacket to avoid detection into a jacket that looks very similar but has subtle differences? Puzzling!), shaved his unibrow (the better to shoot with, I guess?), then executed a plan so well thought out that the police had pretty much no leads, but was then caught (with both the murder weapon and a manifesto conveniently on his person! And the unibrow now regrown with long hairs) at a small town McDonalds five days later thanks to a random person recognizing him (and is a random McDonald's employee thinking you appear similar to a partial photo of a criminal enough to get you detained?)

OR

A police force with a budget bigger than many country's entire military, in a country notorious for having corrupt policemen who routinely lie and believe themselves to be above the law, realizing that it would be supremely embarrassing to have no leads, and likely facing immense political pressure to make sure the public doesn't think people can get away with this kind of crime, feeling motivated to peruse the many many records available to their giant counter-terrorism unit and using it to find someone who was in the vicinity, with an established online record of extremism, who has a jacket that is reasonably similar, and straight up planting some evidence on him so they can wrap this up with a neat bow and all of the ceo's who run the politicians who run our country can breathe easier?

As a random person on the Internet I will never find out the truth but some of this is not really passing the sniff test, and if there is one thing you can count on in this country it's that cops lie and cover their own asses. If he mysteriously dies in prison from "suicide" then we will know it's definitely not him

Edited to add: for those confused I do think it's possible Luigi is the guy from the hostel. It's just that based on the jacket and the eyebrows I'm not convinced he is the shooter. There was never anything solid linking the hostel to the shooting other than a similar (but actually different jacket)

Spending $150 MILLION to chase down $104K is a wicked level of class warfare.

Just letting fare jumpers go would save hundreds of millions. #ACAB

Hind Rajab was a 5 year old girl in Gaza who was killed while she hid alone in a car, along with the paramedics who tried to rescue her. Yesterday students at Columbia seized the administration building and renamed it in her honor.

Hundreds of Jewish anti-war demonstrators have been arrested during a Passover seder that doubled as a protest in New York, as they shut down a major thoroughfare to pray for a ceasefire and urge the Senate majority leader, Chuck Schumer, to end US military aid to Israel.

The 300 or so arrests took place on Tuesday night at Grand Army Plaza, on the doorstep of Schumer’s Brooklyn residence, where thousands of mostly Jewish New Yorkers gathered for the seder, a ritual that marked the second night of the holiday celebrated as a festival of freedom by Jews worldwide.

The seder came just before the US Senate resoundingly passed a military package that includes $26bn for Israel.

Maybe if they give the NYPD another 10 billion dollars they can tell apart a grey jacket from an olive green one

🇺🇸🇵🇸 NYPD reportedly resorts to brutal force, arresting pro-Palestine demonstrators outside Columbia University. The protesters, advocating for a Gaza ceasefire, were engaging in peaceful demonstrations.

This is class warfare. The ruling class is really freaking out that someone will come for them next, as they should in the natural order of things. You can see this on the cable news channels. So much “manhunt” style coverage and very little time spent asking the bigger questions. Why do insurance companies get to play god for a profit? Why don’t we have Medicare for all? Why are they covering the gallows humor of the reaction the way they are? NYPD and cable news pundits taking full advantage of the copiganda opportunity to find and catch the “bad guy”. We all know this was a righteous act. The media elites are trying hard to make us think otherwise but take a look at social media and you can see the public sentiment.

September 2024 - Huge banners were dropped in New York City reading "F🔻CK YOU ADAMS", "NO COP CITY IN QUEENS", and "THIS MEANS WAR", against the plans of Democratic NYC Mayor (and ex-cop) Eric Adams to spend 225 million dollars on a new police training center in the city. Coincidentally, the homes and offices of the NYPD commissioner and a whole bunch of city officials appointed by Mayor Adams have been raided by the FBI this week for corruption. [link]/[link]
