I have said it once and I will say it again: I am genuinely shocked at just how many people, especially on Lemmy, are just accepting that Luigi is the real shooter. I haven't believed it for one minute and the only thing that will make me believe it is audio proof of Luigi confessing while not under duress.
Personally, it seems more likely to me that he never expected to get away with it for as long as he did, didn't really have a plan beyond getting out of NYC, and went to that McDonald's to get caught.
Maybe I'm wrong, that's completely possible. But... I dunno... a lot of eyes are on this case. It would be very very dumb of the cops to manufacture a suspect with all the attention on this. Maybe they are that dumb...
Never underestimate how incompetent the American police are
Why would you think the feds want the wrong guy? Because what they want the actual killer to be roaming free.
What happens if the real killer does another hit in a few weeks? The Feds just be like erm nah this is a copycat we will get him too.
Occam's razor.
Also this post is filled with misinformation itself. There are plenty of 3D printed gun demos on YouTube where the guns don’t explode.
You don't seriously think that the feds are trying to keep America safe, do you? The feds and NYPD all need to have someone in jail so they can claim that they did a good job. They want to brag about how accomplished they are.
There is no duty to protect and serve. The police do not have to protect you, and they don't on a regular basis. I know you might have heard that growing up, but it's just not true.
If the "real" shooter hits again, that illusion SHATTERS. It's a terrible play.
Also as far as I'm aware it wasn't a fully 3d printed gun, rather a 3d printed lower for a Glock. The lower doesn't have to handle anywhere near the levels of pressure that the upper does, so is unlikely to break when firing.
You're shocked eh.
This attitude sounds very trumpy
All you know is what you heard in news reports. There is no incentive for them to arrest the wrong guy, and we haven't heard all the evidence
Installing security systems was part of my job, and sorry, but a lot of criminals are idiots. They just assume they're going to get away with it. Or they figure they're going to get caught
We had one where some fat guy tried to climb a gate but it broke so he went through it. Then he took his hoodie off as he was stealing a camera.
Had another where the guy ran a fake school as a scam. When they investigated him, they discovered he had all of the computers, but none of them were set up. But really, the suspicious part was the Ferrari he owned
Had another guy who was the world's biggest asshole. He got busted for distributing drugs.
Then there is Trump who brags about his crimes and then pretends like he's being set up
No, yep, you're right, absolutely zero incentive. Not like there'd be a bunch of rich and powerful CEOs breathing down their neck to catch the CEO killer or anything.
You think all the random CEO's right now are calling the police station telling them they need to catch the killer?
Are you serious? 😂
That's not how these things work
But you make up whatever story supports your conspiracy theory.
It's possible it's not the correct person. But it's more likely you guys read a few news articles and the police have a lot more information than what you have.
Do you think this wasn't political, and isn't getting a political response? Are you serious?
What would be the message if someone managed to off a CEO in broadband daylight and get away with it? Does it matter to them if they have the right person or not, or does just getting a plausibly similar person serve just the same goal with any political message in mind.
We seriously can't know whether it is or isn't the right guy, so it's genuinely doesn't matter if it is or not.
Goddamn I'm tired of people pretending like politics doest exist and malicious people aren't a thing. Yeah no the world isnt ruled but lizards but conspiracies are every much a real thing and you just registering the word directly as "bullshit" is so dystopian.
If you me and a third guy plan a crime, that's a conspiracy.
You're right, it's not. Do you really expect a CEO to bother himself with a plebian beat cop? No, he'd call his good friend the mayor, who would call the chief of police, who would put pressure on his subordinates.
This isn't exactly rocket science? And if you don't believe the above is possible, then you're one of the targets of this grift.
Of course there's incentive to arrest the wrong guy, because there's incentive to arrest anybody at all, to avoid looking incompetent. This is policing 101. Round up the usual suspects and if you don't have any usual suspects, round up somebody.
