      They took the ebike into central park and got away on foot from there. I doubt they’re the one that rented the bike or if they did, they did it with fake info and a prepaid card. Once they got to central park they probably swapped into a new set of clothes out of that backpack and disapeared.

        Not just new clothes, probably a reversible backpack so when leaving the park the backpack wasn’t even the same color.

            The insurance companies are the death panels politicians used to talk about like the bogeyman, not the government.

                For whatever reason, you seem to not understand the function of a comment section, and feel the need to voice that. Not sure why.

          They probably know which Walgreen’s it was bought in and can check when it was bought, likely there are cameras in the store. Hope the dude was wise enough to wear a mask or some other disguise.

            That’s true, if it was really planned to the tee it was probably something like https://www.bitrefill.com/us/en/gift-cards/virtual-prepaid-visa-usa/

            Or more likely:

            Camera footage takes up more storage than most companies are willing to pay for, especially for retail. Any footage was likely overwritten beyond a certain point, assuming the drive is even still functional after years of wear and tear.

          Walgreens is a bad choice. They’ve invested a ton of money into cameras and surveillance for their locations. Almost on the level of Target for loss prevention.

      The silencer and possibly the subsonic ammo caused it to jam so he had to keep racking it to fire. He left three casings from the shots and three live rounds on the ground from the jamming.

      The suppressor was 100% a wish or temu “flashlight” kit, not legal. Legal ones are usually sold with a neilson device for use with tilting barrel pistols (like glocks), since his didn’t have one the combo was too heavy to cycle the slide. He also had trouble going back into battery a few times leading me to believe it was a poorly milled “ghost gun.”

That show came out decades after Just Cause, where if you manage to get to the highest point on any of the four maps, Rico says “Look Ma!
