Everyone should spread the word on Jury Nullification. The way society is heading, we're going to need it sooner or later. It needs to be common knowledge cuz they tend to throw ppl out of court for knowing about it or talking about it.

This. As a juror, you can absolutely vote to not convict someone if you think they're being prosecuted under an unjust law. Just don't mention "jury nullification" in front of a judge or prosecutors. They hate that.

Luigi Manigone.

the legend

I'm not usually a conspiracy theorist, but so many things seem off. Dude's got an engineering degree, pulled off a cold-blooded assassination in broad daylight and evaded capture for almost a week... And then it turns out he's an absolute idiot who keeps around a "ghost gun" in public, keeps around the same fake ID he'd used to book into the NYC hostel, and keeps a manifesto on his person?

Part of me thinks this is some rando that's gonna have to take the fall so that the rest of America believes that the police is all-powerful and can find any criminal. Hell, part of me thinks this perfect suspect is all made up.

While I loathe conspiracy theories...

I expected one of the following:

  • He would never be found. (unlikely)
  • He would be 'found' and 'take his own life' before ending up in custody
  • He would be 'found' but would have fled the country and disappeared.
  • He would be found and be a professional who had lost a loved one to UHC

What happened is

  • very conflicting to the clear and concise actions we saw in NYC
  • very convenient to what they're looking for, open and shut.
  • The pictures they provided weren't consistent with the footage of the killing

He ditched the bike, had and ditched a backpack, had been there for a week, didn't think to change clothes? Went through the trouble to get an untraceable gun, didn't think to ditch the gun?

It reeks of bs.

My current head canon is that it IS him, but some very illegal government spying was used to find him. Claim an anonymous tip lead to him and then grab him. Then they conveniently find him in possession of an orgy of evidence a la Minority Report.

That sounds completely plausible. Three letter agencies have ridiculous amounts of intel. They for sure know which building and apartment I'm commenting from and I'm a foreigner on a pseudonymous website. Plus there's the however-many eyes agreement for when you need to get intel but can't spy on your own citizens.

Honestly I'm reminded of that time when Russians found that guy with 3 copies of The Sims when the security services were obviously told to find him with 3 sim cards so he'd look extra guilty

GoFundMe already shut down his fundraiser. Probably their CEO is nervous.

MSNBC said on Saturday that police examining the bag and its contents found a jacket and Monopoly money, but no firearm.

Thats a plant. They aren't as close as they say they are. Also 60k as a reward for betraying your entire class? Lmao you better pay kingmaker money.

The NYPD's working theory of what pistol was used doesn't even make sense either. These cops are clueless.

[–] [email protected] 25 points 3 days ago (1 children)

They appear to be clueless, so those with a clue may out themselves.

Guess what day it is today

I like how one article said: "The net is tightening," New York City Mayor Eric Adams said Saturday.

No, I don't think it is, but keep saying that.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 2 days ago

If Eric Adams is speaking, he's lying

[–] [email protected] 19 points 3 days ago (3 children)

The net is tightening? Lmao they've widened the search to nearly every metro area between New York and Atlanta

The fact that each picture of him has been someone different doesn't give me a lot of faith they know his name lmao.

I feel like that's possibly a prelude to setting up a scapegoat. You can't let people think he got away with it.
