did he kept the same scarf?
Some people must have face blindness cause to me this dude looks like the other pictures we saw after the shooting.
Idk, I would not ruin a man’s life over the similarities. But then again I am quite terrible at telling faces apart
The angle is very different
I think that some people had trouble with the raised angle of the hostel smile photo, and the way that cameras of different focal lengths (technically, more a function of distance between camera and subject) tend to flatten three dimensional features in slightly different ways. The posts where people were saying that various pictures don’t look like the same person, but like you, I think they look pretty similar.
I love you for that parenthesis. Just today I was watching this excellent video which touches on this: https://youtu.be/wd4s0vqD0Zw
There is a lot of reaching in these comments saying it’s not this guy and acting like he’s a idolized hero. He has the gun, the clothes, the eye brows, facial features, his movements were tracked, manifesto like come on. He made a ton of mistakes along the way. Accept it. Its LIKELY he got caught. I’ll probably get downvoted but oh well. Live in reality people. It seems a lot online sadly do not.
There’s even people in posts talking about how to do better and advice and tips. What the actual fuck lol. Lemmy seems like the new 4chan sometimes. Undoubtedly monitored like all online platforms. People are either arm chair generals or idiots for talking on the internet.
Oh my friend, you’re here trying to lecture the internet and ignoring the lulz. IMO life is too stressful for that approach, but you do you. … by the way, 1A protects nearly all speech. There are limits, but general advice and tips are nowhere near the edge of acceptability.
I’m going to learn how to sculpt clay just so I can make honorary bust of this legend.
His face says: “Yup I did it, and I’d do it again!”
His face says no jury will ever convict him!
Protip: always look up and smile for mugshots
BULLSHIT.
Fits both angles of the photos, the feminine, younger smile and the gruff one, he was a Ted K fan before any of this shit went off, had a 3D printed gun, and a manifest on him.
I’m afraid this “duck” is quacking. I think it may indeed be a duck.
Mmm… It’s too sloppy how much evidence they found. I have serious doubts.
I doubted the manifesto at first, but then… think about it.
What if it was never found? He wrote it to be read, did he not? I suppose he had it on him just in case of this very situation.
The people will know his meaning even if they don’t have his voice.
But did he write it? Cops just have to ask chatGPT for some ai slop output
just looks like some random guy of mediterranean descent. I am sure there’s lots of dudes who look like that who’ve themselves murderized 1000s of Palestinians in the past week alone.
This veers a little too close to racism for my liking. Be careful not to get any closer
Edit: Not a threat, I just don’t want someone to say something racist
Really tied it all together here didn’t you.
So we crowdfunding his legal aid or what?
Is “legal aid” the codename for the field-expedient MRAPs we build and man to spring him from prison? If so then yes.
Isn’t his family super wealthy? They’re probably taking care of that

The owners are trying to stop us from being able to.
GoFundMe, a for profit organization, took down an attempt to raise money for him.
He allegedly killed a low level owner, after all! Not some poorie livestock!
Raise all the money for poories you like though. Use GoFundMe, a percentage of your charitable transaction will go to their glorious private shareholders!
(don’t use GoFundMe anymore)
Honestly as much as I dislike crypto, this is the one time where it could actually come in clutch. Big corporates can’t stop people from wiring bitcoin to an address.
True, but how would you organise that? There are plenty of scummy crypo-bros who would be more than willing to use this to line their wallet.
We would need his defense team or family to confirm that the receiving address is correct.
I’ve always said crypto isn’t completely useless, it should just be what it was always meant to be and no more:
A currency to buy drugs anonymously on the darknet.
Could have just stopped at OG bitcoin for that. All the rest is idiocy. It’s good for that niche, and nothing else.
Counterpoint: how would you ensure each go fund me actually goes to this guy’s defense and not some random scammer? Apparently his family is wealthy. I’m assuming all those go fund me pages are “unofficial” and not associated with him.
Surely there has got to be an alternative

That’s almost certainly going to be the only pathway forward. If his PD is worth anything (almost certainly not), they will fully utilize the public support for Luigi and hire the best legal defense team money can buy.
Is he repped yet? If not and anyone knows how to get in touch with his people please contact me. I have a line on a few free attorneys that take cases of this magnitude.

We need to set up a crypto wallet or a super PAC for him.
Put it on tshirts and sell them on the internet.
His eyebrows don’t match the images from the security cameras. Those are bushier.
Yeah thats a bit odd. This is the supposed picture of him in the taxi:
and this is the picture of him above, with a unibrow:
It’s weird. How did he grow a unibrow in like 3 days?
Almost like they generated some AI images from old Facebook posts but didn’t realize he stopped tweezing since he stopped pisting puctures online.
Look at all the lengths they go to when the victim is a rich exploiter.
He’s Bachelor #3. I have no problem with that. The jackets even match.
Yeah, these look like three different people. Mugshot doesn’t look like the gunman, but does kinda resemble the taxi passenger. I’m not convinced this is the guy.
deleted by creator
Yeah they match more the other picture of the dude smiling, which itself doesn’t really look like the guy.
The fuck Is a source like that being placed before my eyes
I went with a source where pick-me poors wouldn’t scream fake news.
Meatwad that’s not the language we use…have you been going online with Master Shake again?
Squirrely nooooooo
Shit I’ll buy that for a dollar!
Yeah, what the fuck, he grew a unibrow within a few days??
Mediterranean genes are fun like that
Fuck he’s hot
So, what’s your fanfiction about?
He enlists into the Turkish army and meets a Kurdish refugee he befriends and they slowly fall in love as they try to bring to light of the Erdoğan scourge and create a Rojava state together
Two thoughts here:
-
How do they find an impartial jury? Is it possible to find an impartial jury?
-
Will we ever learn if the McDonalds employee who turned him in received a payout?
To the latter. I was into OSINT to a lesser degree for several years. There are people who engage with it for the sole purpose of trying to find criminal people in order to collect reward money. However, the deal is, the amount posted is typically “up to” the amount posted, and, worse, can be contingent on conviction in a court of law. So, yes, I want to know if the McD Employee was paid as of yet.
Jury selection from current and former CEOs only
There are a whole lot of people that are not active on the internet and have no idea this thing ever took place. It’ll be easy to find a jury.
In New York though?
I assume they at least change the venue to some county upstate.
Bill Burr isn’t really my humor but I listened to him talk about it as a New Yorker. That was enlightening.

Doesn’t look like him. Super convenient that the gun can’t be traced so we just have to trust the cops that it really was his, and that he was just out walking around with the gun and a manifesto, just days after, when anyone would be lying low?? Not buying it.
There is a world where this guy is mentally ill - schizophrenia for example - and this is yet another example of the mentally ill falling through the gaping cracks in the US health care system.
To not dispose of the weapon or the fake ID, and continue wearing the same clothes suggests irrational behaviour.
Unfortunately the US legal system only seemingly regards mental ill health as a defense if you’re very rich and lawyered up.

Bourgeoisie infighting? What an hero
affluenza it is then!
Or the cops fabricated it to close the case because they have zero leads
They really did need a W, hmm
If they fabricated it I hope the adjuster goes and redacts an ExxonMobil exec
Would be quite the twist if while this guy was in custody another CEO got whacked.
Plot twist, he’s just going to prison to shiv his next CEO
So ghost guns not have distinctive rifling?
A barrel is a barrel, and I think it highly unlikely that a mass-produced product leaving a unique fingerprint on something that’s been smushed into a completely different shape can be used as forensic evidence. Unless you know of it being scientifically proven, it is the domain of TV CSI.
https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/the-field-of-firearms-forensics-is-flawed/
Bullet and rifling forensics is not based on science
Glocks are the Toyota Corolla of handguns. They are the preferred weapon of police departments and federal agencies the world over.
They, and many modern firearms, use a rotary hammer forged barrel with polygonal rifling that does not leave unique markings like traditional cut rifling.
Also, forensic ballistics are mostly bunk, like forensic bite marks.
This doesn’t look like your average mugshot. 1) It’s not taken in a police station, 2) I think people aren’t allowed to have scarf’s in mugshots, 3) It’s a photo of a computer screen
