I feel like you don't really need to show up at 6 am to serve a search warrant. Making a commotion and trying to barge into someone's home when they've just awoken is kind of a recipe for them to make bad decisions. If you need surprise to make sure they don't destroy evidence, just get them when they're out of the house. Wait until he goes to work, then send the crew to the house and a couple agents to his work to serve him there and escort him to the residence? It might take a little longer to figure out when the house is empty and you can secure it, but it means fewer people get shot.

But that wouldn't be fun for the paramilitary police.

Wonder what the search warrant was for.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 7 months ago

I would guess weapon/drug trafficking? Airport exec, ATF and the guy likes guns anyway..

Looking at him? CSAM.

(yes there is a phenotype)

But reading the article it's an ATF response so probably 'scary guns.'

That said... I've definitely seen gun weirdos who were also CSAM weirdos...

That "(yes there is a phenotype)" is just like when people say that the covid vaccines are poison and follow with "yes, there is proof". Produce proof that doesn't stink of confirmation bias, make me a believer.

Because honestly, I have seen so many confirmed pedophiles thanks to my former line of work, and most of them would shatter your view for that so-called phenotype.

And if we are just going to point at men with no chin, lack of facial hair and an androgynous/somewhat effeminate body fat distribution, we might as well just incarcerate people for being born with Klinefelter syndrome, dumbass.

I don't know what a CSAM weirdo is, but they can't be worse than people who use obscure acronyms without explanation

[–] [email protected] 4 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Child Sexual Abuse Material.

You know - kids being raped in videos.

But sure, acronyms suck!

[–] [email protected] 0 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Yeah, that's terrible, but I still stand by my statement

[–] [email protected] 3 points 7 months ago (2 children)

If you think "CSAM" is an obscure acronym, I have to ask: How long have you been on the internet?

[–] [email protected] 0 points 7 months ago

We're not at terminally online

[–] [email protected] 1 points 7 months ago

I dunno, 25 years? Close to that.

He said Bryan Malinowski collected guns and other weapons, as well as coins, lived in an upper-middle class suburb and earned $253,000 a year.

“When someone makes that much money, there’s no incentive to do anything wrong,” the brother said. “He has so much to lose."

His brother seems willfully ignorant here. Plenty of millionaires and billionaires commit crimes for more cash.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 7 months ago

its a lot of money but it's not crazy money. you couldn't live la vida loca in NY or LA for that.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Yeah but it's very rare rich people try to kill people of they don't have any real history of it.
