      Hotel -> Central Park -> Trains to JFK -> flight -> SURPRISE the flight is to Newark, where nobody will look because nobody goes there willingly

      I’d like to think he is too. But I don’t. That man will get caught. Things like this will start the working class getting uppity, and those who hold the purse strings cannot afford to allow another incident like this. It will be squashed.

        Only 40% of homicides get solved and nearly all of those are instances where the person’s identity is very easily obtained by witnesses or family or something. Most homicides involve someone who knew the victim, or at least had prior encounters with them.

        In this case it’s an unknown assailant shooting someone he had presumably never met, and also a person who took pains to conceal their identity. Cops are incredibly lazy and solving murders often relies on luck as much as investigation.

        This kind of thing doesn’t have a lot of precedent though. It’s been a while since a successful high profile assassination. Most assassinations are solved because someone captures the assassin right at the scene, within minutes. This guy has been MIA for over a day with still no name, no identity, not even a description other than probably a white male.

        The assassin is probably not in New York anymore, possibly not even in the USA. He/she could be in Paris by now. The only way I could imagine the feds/cops find this person is DNA or a fingerprint links them to someone who’s already in a database, then who knows. This seemed planned so the assassin could very well be holed up in an embassy Julian Assange style.

              I may have exaggerated a bit. Fingerprint evidence is almost entirely subjective analysis, relying on the person looking at the prints being ethical and unbiased. A perfect description of cops, if you ask me.

              There have been a lot of high profile cases where fingerprint evidence was a “100% match”, even though that would been impossible. The Madrid train bombings 20 years ago are the first case that immediately comes to mind—a guy halfway across the world, who had no passport, and hadn’t left the country in a decade, had “his” fingerprints all over the bombs. But, he’d recently converted to Islam, and the wAr On TeRrOr had just started firing on all cylinders in Iraq, so he got Patriot Act’d for a month.

              Fingerprints may very well be unique, but subjective analysis ain’t real science.

        they might claim to catch someone just to save face who happens to die “resisting arrest”, but I think this guy is gone

    -Someone- will go down for it. Whether that’s actually the guy or not is another question.

    That dude is gonna get caught. NYC pigs and feds will pull out all the stops to make sure he is caught and made an example of. The billionaire class cannot afford for the poor to begin handling it in-house.

    How much of an example is left up to whoever catches him I reckon.

      completely agreed and i hope that his death is quicker and more painless that the monster he relieved us of.

      it’s been 48 hours and i wonder if there’s a chance still and i also wonder how the billionaire class is going to respond. bodyguards? will there be more? will there be another bonnie and clyde? (i hope that we’re in another era of bank robbers and robin hood types becoming folk heros like they were in the late-19th/early-20th century; they would OWN social media).

      they have no idea what he looks like, other than white male and a rough age range. if there isn’t enough evidence to find personal info about him, that’s the end of it. a cop could look him in the eye and have no idea.

    I hope they don’t find him. But if they do, I hope he goes on trial and the jury immediately nullifies. Like, 5 minutes deliberation, not guilty on all counts. Hell, need an indictment for murder charges right? The grand jury could nullify and it’s over.

    Except if he was in custody the police would almost certainly murder him. On the other hand, he’s probably white so maybe not?
