The New York Police Department is crowd-sourcing their investigation into the murder of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson to the general public after two days with no positive ID on the shooter. But they may not get much help from the internet, according to multiple popular TikTok sleuths.

The media organizations owned by billionaires can’t understand the mystery. They continually screw over their employees, the public trust, their customers, the government and everyone else they can are baffled as to why the public is unwilling to help. Billionaires everywhere are quoted as wondering why they aren’t tasted like the deities they see themselves as.

Of course they understand, they're not dumb, they're evil.

I think what's been the shock, if anything, has been has slow the Americans have been to react. That it's gone this far without the people of the country doing anything is wiiiild. I guess all that lost sugar, lead and tapeworm IQ is doing it's job.

They think it's their right do screw over all those people, they don't see anything wrong with it, that's why they are surprised

Anyone who rats him out will be the most hated person in America. There’ll be folk songs casting them as Judas and raps comparing them to the killers of Black Panther organisers and artworks of them burning in Hell with Hitler and Nixon and Murdoch, and eventually their descendants will change their surnames to evade the association.

The hostel that handed over images to police before they had a warrant is already catching shade.

Good, fuckin' snitches

[-] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 18 points 2 years ago

I'm surprised they haven't caught more than that

Like a Molotov?

If nothing else, this is why I didn't think anyone would rat him out. Especially for the measly $50k the law is offering. They'd have to make it $5+ million, paid in advance and anonymously, so the idiot snitch could GTFO of Dodge before they come down with a sudden case of lynch mob.

They upped it from $10,000?

Imagine this happening right before the primaries where Bernie was running on, among other things, universal healthcare.

It's funny because 2010 internet would have tried to find this guy no matter the circumstances. I'm glad the enamor of social media has worn off so that "not your army" is completely internalized.

Maybe if the guy wasn't such a piece of shit the pigs wouldn't be the only ones trying to solve his murder.
