      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.

          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.

          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.

              He comes from a decently wealthy family, I’m sure they have a guy unless they disown him. Looks like nobody had heard from him in awhile.

            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.

        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.

      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.

    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.

    Two thoughts here:

    1. How do they find an impartial jury? Is it possible to find an impartial jury?

    2. 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.

      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.

      For as many times as they cla m this guy has changed clothes, you’d think they would have changed him into his jail outfit. Also don’t mug shots usually include a number? And I suppose this bumpkin ass PD doesn’t have height markers on the wall.

    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

      Photo taken by police inside a police station. Sure seems like the definition of a mugshot

      Edit: well I failed at dumbly trusting the caption of a random user on the internet.

    Regardless of his personal politics, he did a good thing (assuming this even is the assassin)

    Adventurism won’t get us far though. One dead corporate ghoul won’t do much; we need an organized party.

    I’m kinda sick & tired of this story already, because it’s become a media spectacle that takes our eye off the ball: US private health insurance, US healthcare in general, and capitalism.

        That guy don’t give a fuck about what we care about.

        He just wanted to slip his brain dead agenda on the communist theory every where it doesn’t belong.

        He appears salty that a related revolutionary entered the scene and made his cosplay look pathetic.

        If there’s an upside it’s that it focuses people’s attention on the class struggle we’re all part of, whether we want to be or not. Some people will be realizing this for the first time; others will be experiencing a feeling of working class solidarity for the first time; and for others it will be a focal point in conversations that can raise people’s consciousness of what’s going on.

        No, it doesn’t, but it’s been something that has brought people from across the political spectrum together. Even Ben Shapiro’s fans called him out on trying to drum this up as a “radical Left bad” issue.

      People are injured and killed by gun violence in the U.S. every day, and it barely makes the news because we’ve become numb to it and politicians fail to act. What makes this case any different?
