Really not liking how much more information they're getting about him. DNA testing a candy wrapper left nearby, these new photos, and a potential cellphone. Seems inevitable he's caught. I hope in that case, he ends up with countless fan letters to keep his spirits up, much like our other hero.
Not to be a downer, but cops will pretend to know less than they do in order to lure their target into a false sense of security, make them think they've already won, that kind of thing. I'm pretty sure they already know who the guy is and they're waiting for him to become more convenient to capture. I would LOVE to be proven wrong and that the Bicycle Assassin is legit eluding the authorities.
I'm hoping the assassin is already in a country that doesn't extradite to the US
Cops in NYPD have an atrocious clearance rate for homicides.
But yes, they are likely trying to lure them into a false sense of security, by declaring the little evidence they have, which honestly, is all pretty circumstantial. No gun, no charge, essentially. Especially or a white person in NYC.
My hopes are that this gun came from a library, and has 10 deaths on it, already, which would put more investigative manpower behind THOSE deaths.
That clearance rate is so low because cops don't give a shit though. They're gonna give a shit about a capitalist
I think it's more due to incompetence, myself. They didn't solve the last hot job in Manhattan, either, and pretty sure he was a broker at a hedge fund.
They're also incompetent, I'm just saying the clearance rate could easily be higher if they actually did their job as it's described
Their bosses are, but they aren't.
If anything they'll find some poor guy to drag in.
No, it's because it's actually extremely difficult to find someone who covers their tracks well.
I can't believe the clearance rate is just 56% right now. In most countries it is closer to 80 or even 90%. In the UK they have the highest clearance rates for murder, even if the killer and victim were strangers.
If he’s smart (which it seems like he is,) he changed clothes immediately after leaving the scene and then got the fuck out of Manhattan (and hopefully out of NYC entirely) 🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼
He could wear two sets of clothes on top of each other. Like double pants and stuff. That way he can strip off a layer and no one will know what he looks like since they only knew one layer. Also shoe prints can easily be destroyed by putting tape on the sole, which renders any shoe prints unusable.
why
Pessimism
Idk, seems like the two photos released are just different guys. NYPD also raided both a home and hostel. Feel like they’re just flailing.
I am going to start a vigil for the safety and elusiveness of the shooter.
Setting up a prayer shrine for him next to my shelf of CEO voodoo dolls.
Anytime the cops are on a man hunt there is a nonzero group of people they roll up just to check. In my state they shot up several cars that vaguely matched the description of thr car Dorner was driving at the time.
They are doing that scene from Le Samourai when the chief of police asks every precinct to bring him 20 guys wearing a trenchcoat lmao.
I'm not sure this is even the shooter. In the other photo they have of him from this camera, he's wearing a black backpack. In the video of the shooting, the shooter has a white backpack.
The cops may just be harassing a rando who was nearby.
Clothes are totally different, shooter had on a black hooded jacket with no pockets as well
Edit: that's not to say this isn't the person just that more info is missing. They did execute a search warrant and if it was this place maybe they were able to track it from the phone they found and ask for the surveillance footage to search for anyone matching the build leaving early in the morning
good luck landing a conviction
The prosecution is going to do their best to handpick whoever they need to secure it. There's enough people who think "the guy deserved it, but its still a crime" that I don't have as much optimism.
only need one cool liar in the jury
God I wish that were me .jpeg
Nullify Negate Neutralize
And I'd hope a group in NYC takes to the courthouse, flooding it with jury nullification information, for all potential jurors, if it ever gets to trial.
Just air dropping "Jury Nullification facts" fliers from a drone outside of every courthouse in NY
There's gonna be protesters outside the courthouse yelling about jury nullification lol
They'll just murder him. I'd be astonished if they caught the right guy and tried him.
DNA testing of a candy wrapper, on a public sidewalk would be so laughed out of court by even a public defender, its amusing to think about.
The cell phone, fair chance nothing is on it, or if it's even the shooter's, which would be another thing. Its likely a burner phone, and finding a burner phone in NYC is like finding gum under a table.
Okay but hear me out they caught a guy in The Wire by DNA testing a soda can he left behind after a shooting.
famous real event, The Wire
Also as a biologist I gotta say I’m incredibly fucking dubious about how trace DNA is used as evidence
Like, contamination is just so easy. We had to keep a specific room where you couldn’t even touch the light switch without gloves to avoid contamination. It’s sooooo easy for stray DNA to get in your shit. And thats where the stuff I’m looking for is in relatively large pieces of tissue.
It’s the perfect mess, it sticks around long enough that it can ruin your shit, but also fragile enough that you have to be careful to not destroy it.
I just don’t trust that the tiny bit of DNA you found on an item on the street of midtown manhattan means fucking anything. I don’t feel like that tells you anything more than “This guy was in the city in the last week”
Oh you swabbed the shell casing? How do you know it didn’t roll into a puddle of spit on the sidewalk? How do you know that DNA came from the shooter? You don’t know shit.
I don’t trust our “justice” system. I believe they’ll nail you to the wall if they want to. But I would think a good attorney could get the candy wrapper thrown out of evidence because anyone could have tossed it. At the very least, should be enough to make a case for reasonable doubt.
Again, this is all assuming there is a fair trial, which is a big assumption in this country.
Phone was a burner phone and the water bottle had a smudged fingerprint, the bike was not a citibike as original reported
