    I thought it was a Glock or a clone. I figured that was the most common firearm. I'm sure now that camera surveillance will only increase monumentally. The shooter had wealth and privilege and threw it all away. He will spend the rest of his life in Sing Sing. He could have contributed greatly to reducing suffering.

    There's a lotta things about this case that don't add up.

    Wealthy genius, apparently a Centrist politically, whose family gained their wealth from health care, goes through a convoluted process of acquiring a ghost Glock with suppressor, fairly good quality counterfeit ID, faraday bag, burner phone... travels via bus from out of state, stays at a hostel for several days, blasts the guy with said gun, takes an ebike back to the bus station, and leaves the state. Very smart, likely to get away with it too.

    But he had a laptop with him that accessed the internet via wifi... and all that traffic is monitored and apparently they were able to track it from the hostel to that McDonalds (they claim a McDonalds employee called police who responded immediately, which I'm skeptical of).

    When he was caught, they claim he still had the suppressed pistol with him, as well as the tainted NJ ID, a 3 page manifesto, thousands of dollars in cash and foreign currency (which he claimed was planted). They also claim his backpack was recovered from Central Park stuffed with Monopoly money, which is kinda weird.

    A smart person, which he was, would've ditched the gun and ID long before getting on a bus. TSA VIPER teams randomly search bus passengers at terminals. And why carry an incriminating manifesto on your way home? Those things are usually left at the scene or mailed to the media.

    He went from doing everything right to doing everything wrong. Maybe he recently became schizophrenic, his age is about when acute symptoms tend to manifest.

    My thoughts exactly.............. I worked with plenty of MIT type people, but in the real world dumber than Shite.

Naturally, it may be used by evil men for evil purposes, but there are more good men than evil, and while the latter cannot be persuaded to the path of righteousness by propaganda, they can certainly be corrected by good men with rifles. --Jeff Cooper"

    No way 12 jurors agree to convict.

    I would have tended to agree a few days ago, but in hindsight, the two years+ the case would run is a lot of time for character assassination to run; and our media is operated by the type of people that has a vested interest in making sure there is no encouragement to knock off the shittest of our CEO's, because they are either married to them, or directly related to them.

    I'm now sure by the time he makes it to trial, they'll have him painted as a psychotic, drug dealing child abuser.
