A law enforcement source told our sister station, ABC7 Eyewitness News in New York, that the suspect's unmasked smile came as he flirted with the front desk clerk who checked him into the hostel, and encouraged him to drop the mask so she could see his smile. The suspect obliged, pulling his mask down long enough for the surveillance camera to capture his face.

Oof.

They are checking every dispute or contested denial of service brought against the company

Isn't that like half of their customers?

Isn't it crazy how much effort they're putting in to protect CEOs?

[-] [email protected] 30 points 6 months ago

Crazy? Maybe.
Surprising? No.

Police protecting the wealthy isn't really anything new. If he had shot a filthy peasant instead of a bourgeois we likely wouldn't even know about this story at all.
On average, there's more than one gunshot homicide in NYC every day and I've barely heard of another one of them until now.

Capitalist states work in the interests the capitalist class, so not at all. This is like Marxism 101.

Detectives in the Crime Stoppers bureau worked through the night fielding calls and tips at 800-577-TIPS and online. Police are encouraging everyone to come forward with information, even with the smallest bit of information

marxism 101 is not an option-able course in this country; instead it's entirely self-paced and self-guide self study.

1/3rd, or about 16m people.

If that's all they got on the guy they ain't finding shit.

[-] [email protected] 4 points 6 months ago

That's like 21% of America's population! That said, it could have been a relative and the suspect had a different provider.

[-] [email protected] 10 points 6 months ago

The US pop is ~335m, so 21% would be 70m people. Regardless, it's way too many people to sort through.

And the relative with a different provider thing completely shreds the already dismal chances of finding him through an insurance denial letter.

All good, happens to me too

90% of them, according to an angry comment I read a moment ago

Stealing this ShowerThoughts post from Reddit:

It's interesting how we are often told how law enforcements budgets aren't big enough for them to deal with issues like Medicare fraud, corporate collusion, and illegal claim denials. But when a CEO dies there are enough resources for a multi-state manhunt.

[-] [email protected] 32 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago)

How about we spend all this money and time on the hundreds of other ongoing murder investigations. A CEO's family doesn't need this government handout. They get paid enough to take care of things privately.

Just one more example of the perversion and inequality of America, and how the rich continue to loot the country.

[-] [email protected] 20 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago)

Waste of time and effort. We need to put our resources towards stopping big crime like stopping drug rings from eating dogs and illegal immigrantns from using up our drugs, not catching some random one time killer. It's likely a crime of passion type thing since there was only one victim.

[-] [email protected] 4 points 6 months ago

There was only one victim so far.

[-] [email protected] 5 points 6 months ago

Well we better get the fuck out of the way of a potential serial killer

[-] [email protected] 19 points 6 months ago

Seems a bit odd the family isn't kicking in more reward money. $10k isn't much these days.

[-] [email protected] 24 points 6 months ago

Gotta save the legal fund for inheritance squabbling

[-] [email protected] 13 points 6 months ago

Eh it's enough for them to fake being upset for a good show and at the same time they don't want to give away all that inheritance. The family knew he was scum.

[-] [email protected] 12 points 6 months ago

Given his salary was reported for last year as 51 million it looks like he won't be missed that much.

[-] [email protected] 5 points 6 months ago

I don't think that covers the premiums and deductible for even employer sponsored plans.

[-] [email protected] 2 points 6 months ago

I honestly don't think I would genuinely snitch on this dude for $10M, let alone $10k. But for $10M I'd take it and make up a really good believable lie.

[-] [email protected] 18 points 6 months ago

It took the cops 2 days to figure out he left the state. Great work 👏

[-] [email protected] 5 points 6 months ago

Remember, those cops are getting their claims denied too. They have every reason to slow walk this…

The only people that I know of who aren’t dealing with this clusterfuck are the current and former congress critters, the military, and I believe federal employees / executive and judicial branches. Everyone else is getting fucked the same.

[-] [email protected] 3 points 6 months ago

You don't think federal employees get healthcare from the same providers as everyone else?

[-] [email protected] 3 points 6 months ago

I know for a fact that the congress critters and the military don’t. I’m less certain of federal employees… there’s no way the president is going through health insurance the way we are. Or SCOTUS. Some low level paper pusher? Maybe they’re on the same system we are.

[-] [email protected] 1 points 5 months ago

You do realize that the humongous, vast, overwhelming majority of the federal workforce is not made up of elected officials and political appointees, right?

The federal government is the United States's largest employer.

I hope this ASSASSIN ends in Prison and DOESNT use their New Found Superpower to hurt MORE Rich People! Just let them Kill Us in PEACE!

[-] [email protected] 7 points 6 months ago

May the adjuster enjoy his well earned respite.

Anyone who takes COVID-19 seriously is a prime suspect 😷

Edit to add: I don’t know why people are downvoting a known fact: that the US police state is suspicious of anyone wearing a mask/respirator, which is why laws banning them keep expanding & spreading.

[-] [email protected] 11 points 6 months ago

Not that the person you're replying to is or isn't sane, there have been a spat of laws recently making it illegal to wear a mask in some obviously dumb Republican areas.

Unknown fun fact about NYC is it has sections that are very conservative and it also has (had?) the most segregated public school system in the country

Mayor Adams is a human shaped turd.
