A law enforcement source told our sister station, ABC7 Eyewitness News in New York, that the suspect's unmasked smile came as he flirted with the front desk clerk who checked him into the hostel, and encouraged him to drop the mask so she could see his smile. The suspect obliged, pulling his mask down long enough for the surveillance camera to capture his face.

Oof.

Crazy? Maybe.
Surprising? No.

Police protecting the wealthy isn't really anything new. If he had shot a filthy peasant instead of a bourgeois we likely wouldn't even know about this story at all.
On average, there's more than one gunshot homicide in NYC every day and I've barely heard of another one of them until now.
