I don't know if this has been posted already, but here is his manifesto https://archive.is/2024.12.09-230659/https://breloomlegacy.s... Sounds like both he and his mother were suffering from chronic pain and UHC dicked them around and refused to act in good faith

That is an intense read.

I really don’t think we should be giving it any attention right now without any verification of it. Probably some loser asked ChatGPT to spit shit out.

Maaaan, The NYPD will take credit for oxygen. Right now their talking like they solved it. a "combination of old-school detective work and new age technology" it was an employee at McDonalds. McDonalds solved this crime. Like god intended.

That seems quite unfair. The NYPD was the one that located multiple pictures of the suspect, and I'm assuming did a good bit of detective work to ensure the pictures they released actually were of the suspect in question. Of course at some point after releasing photos of the suspect one would anticipate that someone who recognized them would turn them in.

So, eyes like every human being has?

With programmers, hackers, computer scientists, systems designers/engineers carrying some of the most privileged skillsets needed for designing and implementing replacements to systems of oppression (and disruptions to said systems), I've been wondering where the ones working to do this can be found. I learned in Computer Ethics 101 about how the history of the development of radiological machines led to the realizat…

Oddly a talk from emacsconf a few days ago comes to mind:

I doubt this is real. The New York Times mentions that he comes from a prosperous family - seems incongruous with his mother lacking healthcare desperately. https://www.nytimes.com/2024/12/09/nyregion/who-is-luigi-man...

Earlier quoted context omitted.

I don’t think so, per article: He "became quiet and started to shake" when asked if he had recently been to New York, according to the criminal complaint filed in Pennsylvania. Being smart can lead to arrogance, which leads to stumbles. like carrying evidence, dining in public, etc.

He says in the manifesto that they won't take him alive. He planned to go out shooting, then wimped out.

_Alleged_ manifesto. We still don't know if it's real.

> I guarantee you that if this suspect was a leftist in any way, even if he simply liked anything by Marx or Lenin on Goodreads, you would never hear the end of it.

> But it's worth asking: when someone resorts to violence in this way, why are their politics nearly always right-wing?

while i'm convinced you sincerely believe that, you do realize there are a roughly equal number of people equally sincerely convinced that the media/establishment/"they" are out to get them and their group instead. and that when someone resorts to violence it's (almost) always actually the other group, not them.

replace white with black and right with left. ann rand with marx. fox with msnbc. same "argument", often almost word-for-word.

don't stoop to tribalism as an excuse or explanation.

And in some countries, there are laws that say apostates should be executed. If I lived in such a nation and my brother was killed for being an atheist, I hope I would have the guts to avenge him.

"Rule of law" is great, but when it fails, vigilance is still an option for justice.

If that principle was upheld that CEO and people like him and the investors he was a willing tool for would not even begin to exist. This coming from the privileged classes is pretty much "do as I say, not as I do", preaching wine while drinking water.
