    Hopefully next time, nobody for real didn’t see nothing

    I can’t believe some pedon was that quick to betray the Adjuster

    Apparently a boomer, disgusting.

      I think it’s more likely that the intelligence apparatus found him through illegal means and manufactured the McDonald’s story to avoid acknowledging the fact that they are still regularly using mass surveillance systems on US citizens without a warrant. For some reason we all like to pretend those are only used on brown terrorists but it’s pretty clear that this shooter is enemy #1 to the owner class.

        those are only used on brown

        Well that’s how it was sold to boomers and they accepted it… Now the tools are there and they are restricted to brown or anything.

        This is the new normal. But we still got people who got nothing to hide 🤡

      I think the lesson is to next time just not fucking go to starbucks or mcdonalds.

      If you want to get away with it, basically become a homeless person for a few weeks. Carry only dense rations, raid dumpsters, stay away from people as much as possible. Use a stolen bike. Wear gloves.

      He might not have gotten caught if he kept his mask on.

        Yeah really, it seems so weird that someone planned pretty carefully but was not down to be homeless for a couple weeks, I think 4 or 5 weeks and the news cycle is busy with other stuff, and getting recognized would have been a way lower risk.

      I wouldn’t blame a boomer for not wanting to live in a world where you can get gunned down in the street for being successful under capitalism because guess what, they didn’t have to try.

      also, the dude was in a chain restaurant with the murder weapon and a manifesto. I figure the only reason he didn’t straight up hand himself in was so his capture was public. which means someone had to hand him in, preferably before his youtube videos went live.

        Lmfao. “Successful under capitalism.” Which of course means murdering thousands of people by denying lifesaving care that they PAID FOR.

          Did I fucking stutter? yes, that was the implication. People fighting back against a system of exploitation that they have greatly benefited from would be scary for them.
