To all the people who say he's just a suspect, unfortunately they have good evidence against him, our only hope now is a jury of our peers.

I am normally the first to decry dipshit conspiracy theories. However does anyone else find it interesting that they quickly arrested someone who looks not the same but similar to the released photos, with an untraceable 3d printed gun? That gun gives them the lack of need to prove where it came from and a vague air of suspiciousness. Oooh he wrote a suggestive book review. Case close boys?

He made it all the way to middle-of-nowhere PA, but he was still carrying all the evidence on him? Sounds like they found Spartacus

I'd like to send out a special "Fuck you" to the asshole that called this tip in, whether it turns out to be the real shooter or not. I can't imagine being such a piece of trash to go do that.

Catching the suspect came down to “good old-fashioned police work,” New York Mayor Eric Adams said Monday, citing the McDonald’s employee who called in a tip.

Lol, you mean someone hitting the “easy” button and telling cops where he is? That’s “police work”? Waiting around for someone to do the work for you?

Edit: I wouldn’t want to be the person collecting the reward for the arrest of this individual.

Good old fashioned police work: either waiting for someone else to do the work, or setting up some poor sad sack to pin the crime on.

Never would have thought McDonalds of all places would do that.

We can't let the media take the narrative back and let them do a smear campaign on this person who might not even be the shooter. He's a suspect.

This ceo shooting broke the proverbial spell where what the population was actually saying wasn't being guided or swayed by the news.

We need to keep the steam up on the media pushback. All those savage, snarky comments and memes left on every news article, fb post, tweet... they got overwhelmed by us. That needs to keep happening so they can't go back to distracting and brainwashing people with fear and politics while they scapegoat this guy and try to make an example of him to the rest of us plebs.

They already tried to distract us with aliens and Diddy because people won't stop saying how much they hate insurance companies. Keep voicing your discontent where ever they leave an open comment box. Please do it. Not only is it cathartic, but it upsets the oligarchs and everytime you upset an oligarch someone's insurance is less likely to deny their claim.

This isnt the guy. This is their scapegoat. What I could read he seems to be a foreigner. Also the first part of the article is hilarious. Fucking cop who been on the job no more than 6 months and fellow officer saw this guy and just knew they have the right man no doubt in their minds didn't think twice. Fucking doesn't look like the killer even a little bit. Bunch fuck ups. Poor guy.

Edit: so guy isn't a foreigner, but he isn't the killer either.

just knew they have the right man no doubt in their minds

As a crim minor, this is the start to every documentary they show you about coerced confessions that have been discovered as false

Just a nothing statement from the pentagon with a click bait title. It was a waste of internet space honestly.

I'll save you a Google... the pentagon doesn't know what ufos are.
