So how did they catch him?
Was it the thousands of hours of NYPD overtime, for cops walking around central park? No.
Was it Sherlock Holmes style detective work? No.
Someone dropped a dime on him, while he was eating his McMuffin.
And he conveniently had the weapon and his manifesto on him.

All the CSI is just to tie the story together:
* This ID is the one used to check into the hostel
* This silenced pistol matches the one that made these spent shell casings found at the scene
* This manifesto gives motive
If he had gotten rid of that evidence, it would be harder to make a case.

@mekkaokereke@hachyderm.ioToday in justice:
* They did find the man that killed the Healthcare CEO. Because they made the whole country "be on look out" (BOLO) for him.
* They didn't find the man that killed an immigrant on the same day. No info shared.
* The man that choked a Black man to death was found "not guilty"

@mekkaokereke "We don't mind murdering shits as a rule. They just have to be the right kind."
@alexanderhay
"rule of law" has always been a misdirection. it's always been about vibes.
@mekkaokereke
@mekkaokereke thank you. It’s valuable to remind a lot of folks about the many lies embedded in the white supremacist line ‘All Lives Matter’
@MargaretD @mekkaokereke CEO lives matter even more!
"Some Lives Are More Equal Than Others"
@MargaretD @mekkaokereke First time I saw that, it reminded me of "every customer is our top priority" in that, no not every customer is the top priority, and only someone who is okay with deprioritizing less important people would say shit like that.
And hey, that's exactly what they wanted to convey about which lives matter.
They're fine with some lives not mattering at all, and see no need to every change it.
So far, the point of this thread seems to have been missed.
If a person of color or some other marginalized person had been killed on the same spot would all of the same resources have been spent? If the killer was white in that scenario would he go to jail? Would it grab the headlines?
@mekkaokereke would love to understand what happened in that jury room, as they hung on manslaughter, got that dismissed, and then acquitted on the lesser charge anyway. (I guess jury nullification isn't as rare as I thought.)
I know, I know -- racism! But the killing happened in front of witnesses, on video. Did jurors come out and say to each other, "well he was black so I'm voting to acquit"? I just don't see how else you get there in a case as open-and-shut as this one.
@aburka @mekkaokereke These days? It would not be surprising at all. This is the time of monsters.
@mekkaokereke Today, injustice.
@mekkaokereke And how many people died of lack of insurance?
