      They took the ebike into central park and got away on foot from there. I doubt they’re the one that rented the bike or if they did, they did it with fake info and a prepaid card. Once they got to central park they probably swapped into a new set of clothes out of that backpack and disapeared.

        Not just new clothes, probably a reversible backpack so when leaving the park the backpack wasn’t even the same color.

            Might as well. No empathy for merchants of death.

            The insurance companies are the death panels politicians used to talk about like the bogeyman, not the government.

            Don’t really give a shit about any of the rich assholes making decisions about who should die just to increase shareholder returns.

              What does any of that have to do with the comment chain? I was commenting on how people are just running wild with their imagination instead of sticking to facts.

                If you only care about the facts, read the fucking article and ignore the comments. No one here is an expert or involved in the investigation, we’re here to talk about it.

                For whatever reason, you seem to not understand the function of a comment section, and feel the need to voice that. Not sure why.

      They can trace the credit card. Whether or not that leads to the actual shooter is a different matter.

    There was that meme about things we are bringing back in the 2020s from the 1920s, that included anarcho-syndicalism.

    I guess that was a miscalculation, we are actually bringing back even earlier forms of anarchism. 💣

    Was he catching the casings? Like I’m confused why he kept cocking it or reaching on the top?

      The silencer and possibly the subsonic ammo caused it to jam so he had to keep racking it to fire. He left three casings from the shots and three live rounds on the ground from the jamming.

      The suppressor was 100% a wish or temu “flashlight” kit, not legal. Legal ones are usually sold with a neilson device for use with tilting barrel pistols (like glocks), since his didn’t have one the combo was too heavy to cycle the slide. He also had trouble going back into battery a few times leading me to believe it was a poorly milled “ghost gun.”

    Hey dental insurance CEO, are you thinking twice this morning about signing off on that press release where you’re going to start denying all of Grandma’s dental claims if you you’re software finds any evidence of her smiling on social media… Smiling being user-initiated routine wear and tear on teeth that shareholders demand no longer be covered by default.

    Think twice this morning, my Lord…

          Did they put that in the game? If they did that is almost certainly a tip of the hat to Rico Rodriguez, from the Just Cause series

              Ok, well then Edgerunners seems to be giving Rico a nod. That show came out decades after Just Cause, where if you manage to get to the highest point on any of the four maps, Rico says “Look Ma! Top of The World!” in JC1 and all subsequent games the line was, “Look Ma! Top of The World! … … again.”

                  Fair enough. I am not sure how many James Cagney films I’ve seen, but I would wager that I could count them on one hand.

        American hero, Agent 47/John Wick/etc, shot the CEO of United Healthcare and killed him at 7am in front of the Hilton Hotel in Manhattan.

        He had “Deny, Defend, Depose” carved into the shell casings of the spent cartridges he used to kill the parasite.

        He then rode away on an E-Bike and hasn’t been seen since.

          As an aside, another proposed moniker for this hero is “Lancelot”, as he has clearly slain a dragon. Three cheers for the Dragonslayer!

              I’m speaking, of course, of greedy, wealth hoarding dragons like Smaug. Who would slaughter an entire mountain of Dwarves to get his claws on wealth he will never spend, just to have it.
