Imagine what happens if someone with a charming smile and strong eyebrow game shoots another health care CEO.

God willing

Whoever killed Brian Thompson really did announce a safari on these parasites

It wouldn't even have to be someone who looks like Luigi. They got the screen shots of Luigi from the hostel and found him based on the pictures, but they haven't presented evidence that he was at the crime scene. If you look at the shooting video you can tell that the jacket worn by the killer is not the same jacket Luigi was recorded wearing at the hostel. Same with the fake ID. It only proves that was him at the hostel. They'll need to present evidence that he was at the crime scene. They say they found a water bottle nearby that can be linked to him, we'll see.

This is actually the beginning of the plot to Sonic Adventure 2. We should be seeing Luigi snowboarding down the streets of San Francisco any day now.

Oh great, now I have to ask my 9 year old sonic fan to put this into context. Kid beat the game on computer despite the crazy control setup.

Sonic gets framed for Shadow's crime and escapes authorities snowboarding down an inclined street

Am I missing something or is this still just people being stupid about photos?

[–] spireghost@lemmy.zip 48 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (3 children)

It's not really the photos. For me, it's that it's really unusual for him to have had all the evidence on hand. Like the ID, gun, silencer, notes, and a motive on hand, just chilling in McDonalds. He also gave away probable cause to search him by presenting the ID which he should have known was fake. Considering he took concealing steps like using a ghost gun, ditching his backpack, and making a relatively clean getaway, it's pretty odd.

Still it's obviously possible that he wanted to be caught or was exhausted... or just dumb enough to not think of that.

It IS a big thing that the evidence hasn't been presented officially yet. There's a lot of media talk implying that he's the guy but trial by media is not a verdict

[–] GrumpyDuckling@sh.itjust.works 11 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I think that the gun and everything else were dumped and found and the cops are saying he had them on him when he didn't. I think they know it's him, but they didn't use legal means to identify him (parallel construction). They might have used some kind of new way of tracking people that they don't want to reveal to the public.

[–] spireghost@lemmy.zip 1 points 20 hours ago (1 children)

Oh yeah, definitely. I mean they definitely ran more than face detection software.

They probably got thousands of tips and chose to respond to the one randomly in Altoona based on other knowledge they had.

It's crazy to me that parallel construction is allowed.

[–] GrumpyDuckling@sh.itjust.works 1 points 20 hours ago

I suppose you could use targeted social media algorithms to target people within a certain area who are service workers who are more likely to see him. So they could theoretically manipulate people into better recognizing him.

[–] sunzu2@thebrainbin.org 13 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Succinct analysis plus the desire of the state to pin this to anyone really to please the parasite class.

[–] Alwaysnownevernotme@lemmy.world 13 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Honestly just any manifesto that starts off by praising the feds is laughable.

The thing that gets me is the “ghost gun” they found on him doesn’t look like a 3D printed gun according to the pictures that were released. It looks like a typical factory manufactured pistol with a metal slide and a metal barrel. Both machined. He would have spent a lot of needless time adding this much detail to the gun, like the grips on the machined metal slide. Why put so much effort into something like that?

Everything on that gun looks highly machined. This isn’t what you would expect from a home brewed 3D printed gun.

Now it could be they just took a random gun and photoed it to make the media happy and didn’t want to show the actual gun. But it’s odd.

"3d printed guns" aren't all homebrew. Usually with guns you can just buy literally every part except for a certain part that's serialized and legally considered to be "the gun" (ship of Theseus style; any other part can be replaced and it's the same gun, but if that one's different it's a different gun)

It's pretty trivial to print only that part and buy the rest. Also completely legal in many states, here's a website with a bunch of examples:
