Good guy being nice to coffee shop workers. Smiling and saying thank you. Removing problems from the world. A true American Hero.
- Just look at that Hollywood smile. Is it a classic superhero movie with a modern twist? I bet he took some cats from the trees when dropping his bike in the park.
  
  He totally helped some old lady with her groceries on the way to liberate humanity.

I swear to God this is like the 10th post I've seen of this guy's face and not ONE is serious about tracking the killer. I fucking love it.
- Remember, if you know anything about this guy, NO YOU FUCKING DON'T.
  
  but I know he in innocent, are you saying I do not know he is innocent?
  
  Idk I hear he’s already in Perth
  
  This MF wrote "Delay" and "Deny" on his bullets just because.
  I'm sure even the people who do actually have info about him won't be saying anything soon.
- How do we even know that's the killer? The person who shot was wearing a mask. For all we know it wasn't even a man, some women are flat chested it's possible. They should probably just call off the investigation since there's no clues for anything.
  
  I think any cop who disagrees with this should get transvestigated.
  
  Isn’t he wearing different clothes in the pics where his face is visible? And the cops are saying he changed clothes? Which could be true, but also could not be true…

Has anyone questioned Guy Fawks yet?
- This Guy Fawkes.
  
  Fawkes was a religious fanatic who sought to blow up the English Parliament to replace it with a theocracy, so as an actual historical figure, he’s not much of a progressive role model.

Damn, this guy is truly the Ridiculously Photogenic Assassin.
- I can fix him.
  
  Fix him? Can't fix perfection.
  
  He's already perfect
- Did anyone count fingers?

Gosh that gentleman has a nice smile. And he allegedly brought a smile to millions of Americans nationwide, too!
- Looks kinda like Jake Gyllenhaal
  
  I was more thinking Dave Franco. The smile is definitely on point.

Cops make their own tips.
- And here I was feeling bad for confiscating beer from 14 year olds at summer camp at 17 and then drinking it (drinking age 16).

Giving similar vibes to the FBI sketch of the dude who killed logging CEO’s
- Reminds me of db cooper

Give anonymous tips to the police hotline about police you see breaking the law.
- Tell the police where you think you saw a white guy in a hoodie
  
  He’s in my living room! Oh wait, that’s me.

We found em'

Mr. Yellow M&M count your days
- Was there a Mr. Yellow in Reservoir Dogs?
  
  Mr. Blonde.

Is spamming this number illegal?
- I wouldn't recommend making a pest of yourself to the police, in any jurisdiction.
- Sounds like a lot of work for one person. Maybe distributed spam..
- Probably not if you’re a scammer in India.
- The ideal number of interactions with a cartel member is zero.
- *67 coming in clutch

All of New York: “Don’t know that guy. Didn’t see that guy. Didn’t see shit.”
- Call your reps, demand investigation be closed and a single payer while u re at it

Hey man don't help the cops with more coverage of this guy's face
(It's a joke I know it's already absolutely everywhere)
- This is a perfect use of AI. Flood the internet with variations of the original image.
  
  Yell that you have exclusive CCTV footage of him and post those fever-like AI video continuations instead.
  Shown him turning into Batman on one.
- first I've seen it all day.
  if he was smart he would have boarded a plane to somewhere he can disappear for a few years.

Call that number and every tipline and report the person responsible for this death and many others - That person's name was Brian Thompson.
- I really don't think prank calling the police will end well.
  
  I live several thousand miles away from NYPD jurisdiction. What are they going to do, call me back to scold me?

Is that real? Why would dude take his mask off?
- It's "real" in that the police shared the picture: https://x.com/NYPDnews/status/1864706407985221974
  though the clothing seems different from an earlier picture, especially with this one having big front pockets in the jacket. so there's claims that it is not the same suspect.
  
  I’m no lawyer, but the legal system calls this “reasonable doubt” and if you are on a jury, you are duty bound to do your best to judge the case on the facts, not vibes.
  And the fact is, a grainy photo of two people who may have somewhat similar clothing is not proof, nor mens rea required for a possible murder conviction - who are we to claim to understand the mind of this individual?
  The state has a high bar to clear that this anonymous shopper, is the same person they claim, the photo was taken on the same day, that this photo isn’t a forgery/deepfake, that only one set of that particular clothing was ever sold- otherwise it’s hearsay and conjecture.
  
  They’re saying he changed clothes. Which I suppose is possible. Maybe he can also change his height and sex and skin color. Maybe he’s a shapeshifter.
  
  If this isn't the right guy and this guy sees his photo he should probably lawyer up and turn himself in ASAP.
- I believe that pic was taken by a security cam from the hostel he was checked into.

Yes, keep posting this guy face, that'll help him bigly
- Do we even know if this is the guy?
  Some rando is prolly sweating bullets with police on his ass while vast majority of the country considers him a hero
  
  It's Jerma985
  
  Yes

The grin reaper

The true face of heroism

I want to blow him damn
- I would take SO MANY for the team

Here is a tip. Most people would be more likely to call the cops on someone shoplifting food to feed their children.

it's not a crime to give false tips, right?
- It is. Unless of course, you didn't know it wasn't true and you call again in 3 days to let them know your realised you were wrong.
  
  Actually it very explicitly is not. Per there website:
  “Is Crime Stoppers part of the police? We are NOT the police.
  All local Crime Stoppers programs act as the "intermediary" between the Tipster and the investigative/police agency. They are not-for-profits and mostly registered charities that are operated by volunteers from the community. The programs rely on donations from sponsors, community partners and the public through individual fundraisers, to support their efforts.”
  It is not a crime to lie in most circumstances, that includes to the police in some cases. In most jurisdictions you cannot lie about your name and address and while under oath. Everytime else is free game.

Dude looks pretty young to have a healthcare beef. But what do I know about anyone’s life.
- Maybe a family member? He’s old enough to see a grandparent have the quality of their last days stolen.
  
  Yeah, could be anyone. A partner, parent or grandparent, sibling, friend… Lots of ways healthcare could negatively affect anyone’s life.
  
  He’s old enough for it to be a parent or a child.
- My healthcare beefs started younger. By the time I graduated college I’d done more rounds than I’d bothered counting over pre approving the same meds I’d been on for years and if you remember those scary government death panels that they told us were why we can’t have single payer healthcare, well a corporate one killed my mom.
  Like I’ve expressed that pain a fair bit in the past day and it’s not even that I think it was inexcusable for that decision to be made, but I’d spent years hearing about this nightmare scenario as a reason to keep a broken system only to find out that we already had it except without the ability to vote to change policies.
  In America, on one of the worst days of your life, regardless of your age, a health insurer may very well be there to add some salt to the wound of your tragedy or to make you worry that your uncertainty of if you’ll live might make your family lose their house.
  
  Agreed on all points. The republicans freaked out about the “death panels”, but obviously they didn’t really care if people died or not.
  They just wanted them to be profitable death panels and to make people rich.
  
  Lost my dad and my home. I’m so fucking ready to kill these assholes. Our politicians won’t hold them accountable. Our justice system won’t hold them accountable. They live lives of absolute luxury while we suffer. It’s overdue. I hope these CEOs never sleep another night restfully. I hope this is only the first…
- I’ve wanted to kill these motherfuckers since I was 23 and they killed my father. I’m 35 right now and just waiting for the right opportunity to do so.
  They probably killed someone close to him.
  I have an alibi, I was at work. But I was cheering the second I heard the news. I owe the killer a beer.
  
  Maybe edit the end of that first paragraph?

Why is police wasting their time on a nothing burger....
- Cops also have to deal with insurance companies 🤷🏻
  
  maybe they will realize the regime they enforce for is not on their side either lol

Oh, yeah, we usually warm up the house with a hoody fire. You start with some cardboard and then you just add the hoody when it's burning nice and hot. Hard drives, laptops, etc, finger tips. Oh that black stick flute? Its a Mayan death whistle! You blow here and you pull this little lever right here is you're in a hurry and really need to go...you know what I mean?

Jake Gyllenhaal age 20?

(Removed) kinda

I am Spartacus!
