I'm Spartacus (lemmy.world)

EDIT: According to this, the dude in the meme is not the actual shooter. I haven't seen any legit sources one way or another. It's just a meme, please leave this guy alone.

Or get him in touch with Hawk T'ua Girl. Either way, he deserves it.

Those two pictures don't match. The lower guy is much thinner, and probably taller, than the upper guy. And... we have no proof either of them are the shooter. Spoiler alert, it could be a masked woman who did it. What proof it was a man?

That's exactly what everyone should say to make search more troublesome

What will they call this costume at the Halloween Store?

CEO Killer? 🤔

[-] meliaesc@lemmy.world 2 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago)

"The Adjuster" or "Robin Hood (2024)"

[-] Gigasser@lemmy.world 1 points 6 months ago

Not the most accurate thing, but at least the backpack is correctly identified. The hoodie, shoes, etc unsure of.

[-] Anticorp@lemmy.world 1 points 6 months ago

All of those items except for the suppressor are incredibly overpriced crap.

[-] far_university190@feddit.org 1 points 6 months ago

I think that is point

[-] NeatoBuilds@mander.xyz 1 points 6 months ago

Are there really shoes that cost that much? And people buy them?

[-] Anticorp@lemmy.world 1 points 6 months ago

There are shoes that cost 10x that much and people buy them. Hell, Kanye West sold plain white T-shirts ten years ago for $300 each and he sold out in 5 minutes.

[-] halcyoncmdr@lemmy.world 0 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago)

Those clearly aren't the same shoes. Those identified ones have black lines from the print design literally on the side section we can see the clearest in the security video where his are solid white.

[-] Gigasser@lemmy.world 1 points 6 months ago

Some are saying it's the Adidas XPLR Path Sneakers in Black/Gray.

lemmy users remind me of my dog when he growls at someone because they changed their clothes and are therefore a different person

[-] SPRUNT@lemmy.world 2 points 6 months ago

I think there's a healthy dose of remembering all the times it's been reported how police have railroaded innocent people for the sake of a conviction and closing the case, mixed with seeing this person as a modern-day Robin Hood and not wanting him to be identified. The dude could have been wearing a Beetlejuice suit with a face like Sloth from the Goonies and people would still say "that's not him" because he put on a tiny pink cowboy hat.

This man will be an American folk hero in time. And if that thought seems disgusting, I'll invite you to read up on American history.

[-] Sterile_Technique@lemmy.world 1 points 6 months ago

That jacket with "deny,” “defend”, and “depose" stamped subtly somewhere onto it... I'd wear the hell out of that!

[-] SPRUNT@lemmy.world 1 points 6 months ago

Some Etsy seamstress is about to make a killing (metaphorically).

[-] waigl@lemmy.world 1 points 6 months ago

It's been pointed in several places already, but: That's not the guy. The one in the surveillance camera footage had a jacket without these high front pockets.

[-] pennomi@lemmy.world 0 points 6 months ago

Agreed. Hopefully the dude gets a FAT payout for being publicly harassed by the police.

[-] Imgonnatrythis@sh.itjust.works 1 points 6 months ago

I'm sure the police will apologize and pay him handsomely. Also pretty confident tonight is the night I will be fellated by a super model.

[-] Zier@fedia.io 1 points 6 months ago

I told you I cancelled our date, I have a toothache.

[-] mlg@lemmy.world 1 points 6 months ago

I'm still waiting to see one of those "steal his look" memes lol

[-] TheReturnOfPEB@reddthat.com 0 points 6 months ago

I've had a black neck gaiter for years and a black hoodie for years and I have worn them in my neighborhood for years.

I wore them the other day and waved at a neighbor that drove by and they slammed on their brakes and then sped off. I guess they took my Xmas cheer as a threat. Anyways they had an off duty cop standing in front of their house last night.

mission accomplished ?

[-] SPRUNT@lemmy.world 3 points 6 months ago

Funny thing is, anyone willing to do an extremely targeted killing like this, and get away for so long, must be at least moderately intelligent. If they spent the time being able to figure out when and where he would be most vulnerable, who's to say they didn't spend a similar amount of time learning makeup techniques to cover their true skin tone, or stuffing gauze into their cheeks to change their facial structure, or small tubes in their nose to widen it out, or glue-on eyelashes and color contacts, or putting a rock in their shoe to change their gate (especially good in this case for establishing a false motive and sending the cops in the wrong direction), or learning how to sew and making that jacket out of a trench coat that successfully converts back to a trench at the pull of a string, or making a realistic silicone mask with embedded ultra-bright infrared LEDs that blind cameras (especially night vision) from being able to get an accurate picture.... With a little work, you can find step-by-step instructionals, or entire communities, for all of that.

For all we know, the real killer might be a one-legged dwarf from Zimbabwe with incredible stagecraft skills.

Don't forget to stick duct tape to the bottom of your shoes for a disposable and easy to replace way of hiding your tread prints if working in a muddy or sandy area

[-] orrk@lemmy.world 1 points 6 months ago

so much work, when in reality all he has to do is not give his name and never mention it

[-] LordWiggle@lemmy.world 0 points 6 months ago

Please, leave the subject alone too. 90% or Lemmy is about the shooting. The world is bigger then an asshole getting shot.

Someone got shot. Ok, sure, it happens, it's the US, who gives a shit anymore, the country is fucked up, it's healthcare system always has been, we fucking know already.

It's fine to have a news article and some funny memes, but hundreds of memes is a bit overkill I'd say. I've seen many memes about his clothes already, so even that isn't original anymore. Lemmy really is a mono culture, it's a bit sad rly. It mainly focuses on the stupidity of the US, which is funny, I know, but a bit more variety wouldn't mind. It gets old rly fast.

Tbf if you or had a family member constantly denied life savings for chemo/antibiotics/insulin it’s probably a valid feels and ima let America have the front page on this one. Empathy. Go get some.
