    Unfortunately, all of the competent people at the FBI left already.

    Also, don’t forget that Trump very likely fucked a child and is covering it up. Release the Epstein tapes…

    K.

    In other news, Republicans blocked release of the Epstein files.

    Where’s the Epstein files and why is trump and Republicans covering it up?

    They don’t even know where the shot was fired from, apparently.

    It’d be amazing if they literally never figure this one out. There’ll be conspiracy theories forever.

      Trump admin won’t let this go to waste. They’ll find a suitable patsy, then justify taking guns away from everyone except card carrying nazis, I mean GOP members.

      My local news reported that a black clad figure was seen running across a rooftop immediately following the shooting so they’re trying to ID who it was. It’s the same rooftop where there have already been reports the shot likely came from. I forget the name of the building though.

    The culprit was found to be Luigi Mangione. When questioned in his holding cell whether he was in Utah at the time, police noted he became “very nervous, visibly shaking”. A manifesto was found in possession.

    Case closed.

    Meaning they don’t think the person who shot him was black, trans or had mental health issues.

      Well according to the community forum for my crazy neighborhood it’s definitely a minority trans person who did this.

      Also all mass shootings were done by trans people. Not even joking.

        Trans people are like sub 1% of the us population. These guys are busy.

        I really don’t understand how you can actually believe something like that. Because of my wild 20’s i happen to know a lot of trans or gay or LGBTQ people in general, or more than the average person. If they were that violent, i would know so many murderers. In reality they are just the nicest people imaginable. I get that they obviously don’t know trans people, probably have never seen one, or if they did, they didn’t even know. But even that fact should make you wonder, no? I was at work and some random guy complained about how many jews live here and why that’s a problem, and i just thought that i don’t even know any jew. I worked for one once, and every now and then i see three or four walking around, but only recognise them because they are orthodox and dress like amish people. I actually had to look it up and in and around the next city, there are only 2000 jews, like what are you on about?

      WSJ is claiming that the rounds recovered from the weapon used had pro trans / “antifascist” things engraved on the bullets - make of that what you will. Generally WSJ’s reporting is factually accurate but incredibly biased, so there’s that? Fuckin’ hell though this is already such a fucking clusterfuck.

        If that’s actually the case

        then I think it’s just as likely

        that this was done by fascists

        to justify a “war” against “leftists”.

          I can’t say I would be surprised for that to be the case.

          I think it’s far more likely for it to have been one decent person who couldn’t take the constant hatred spewed by Kirk. Everyone knows this has been brewing, for it to finally pop on Mr 'Puts His Punchable Face Right Out There And Taunts You For Not Hitting Him" himself isn’t much of a surprise.

          That’s completely standard in journalism - and the WSJ, despite being an aggressively horrible publication politically and morally, is quite respected for the strict veracity of it’s reporting. I don’t doubt they were told that, by a reputable source. I have no idea if it’s true beyond that however, since the trump admin isn’t exactly overflowing with decent quality human beings.

      Probably fled the state by now. You’ll have to expand the search to guys with high powered rifles in the greater western US.

          Well by now yes they could be anywhere in the world. I was speaking at time of post with my understanding of the original timeline, faulty as it may have been 2min after waking up lol. They might be at mcmurdo for all we know now

    They’re looking for a white male ages 14 to 79 in Utah. So. Basically looking for a needle in a stack of several million needles.

      This is where that super invasive dystopian surveillance tech could really come in handy.

      In Xinjiang, administrators logged people as high, medium, or low risk, often according to 100-point scores with deductions for factors like growing a beard, being 15 to 55 years old, or just being Uyghur.

      Help us narrow it down from a needle in a haystack to a needle in a haystack with a predictive score based on institutional bias. Book 'em Danno!

        Telecom black rooms, Flock mass AI surveillance, NSA secret catalogue of zero days… we control the internet backbone and a lot of traffic flows through our country just because it’s cheaper to route that way.

        That’s why we have fusion centers right? You can’t use your fancy spy tech without people parallel constructing a plausible scenario for how someone was really caught.

        Maybe they know where the shooter is right now and they’re just waiting for people to finish the story. Social media post, a call to an old friend, have a tip placed anonymously, suddenly they find him at McDonald’s.

          They might find the shooter analyzing footage of the area but if the camera setup had anywhere near as many holes as any other college I’ve been to their chances are low, basically hoping social media got the shooter in the background.

          It’s also odd bc within hours of somebody being shot on a public street there was a video and sketch released, but with this guy they allegedly have ccTV footage of him, but they haven’t even released it to the public

        That’s not the most dystopian surveillance tech around. It gets both more intrusive and more effective…

        Think constant drone surveillance over a whole region. High res cameras, massive storage and long loiter times with glider like drones. You can just keep recording, and then when something like this happens, you just play the video back for the whole last day, following your suspect backward in time to when they left their home in the morning. The system isn’t even all that expensive to operate.

        Say goodbye to privacy.

      I don’t know about you, but I feel so focused right now on those files. The distraction didn’t work. :(

      Guess they’ll have to try again with another one.

    Led by “it was clearly suicide” Kash Patel. While all evidence slipped away, they had the wrong guy in custody for 6 hours. This was a critical window but a bunch of sycophant gravy seals are not going to figure this out.
