Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.

Rules:

-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --

-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --

-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --

-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today/ . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --

-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--

-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--

-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --

-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

Not particularly convinced they've got the right guy. They've got a guy and whether it's THE guy or not, this guy was dumb as hell. Doesn't feel consistent with someone who's evaded arrest for almost a week with next to no leads. Could be a copycat, could be a dude intentionally being a decoy, could be a frame job or maayyyybe it really is the dude and he's being a lot luckier and less clever than we thought. I don't know, but this seems inconsistently sloppy.

I agree, everything about the shooting seems to calculated for the guy to be dumb enough to just be out and about while his face is all over the place.

Dude at a McDonald's in PA with a fake ID and a suppressed 9mm... Sounds like they just grabbed an average American off the street! 🤷‍♀️

Cops have been the right amount of stupid to evade them and it was a slow newsweek.

I wonder if he still had the gun because he was planning to go on a CEO killing spree sicko-wistful

I'm not sure how long between kills you need to go from spree to serial killer but dude would be really pushing that distinction and if you're serial killing you really gotta ditch a weapon and get a new one each time. It would be dumb either way
