The contest was real? That’s hilarious
Apparently. NYT source (no paywall)
What a beautiful article, filled with gems of quotes.
In a report this week, the institute found that of the top 10 most-engaged posts on X about the shooting on Wednesday, six “either expressed explicit or implicit support for the killing or denigrated the victim.” The dynamic is similar to the discourse that often emerges after a mass shooting on websites like 4chan and 8chan, where perpetrators of extreme violence become memes themselves, Mr. Goldenberg said, “but what’s disturbing about this is it’s mainstream.”
“It’s being framed as some opening blow in a broader class war, which is very concerning as it heightens the threat environment for similar actors to engage in similar acts of violence,” Mr. Goldenberg said.
They are trying soo hard to twist this away from what everyone knows it is and they are failing miserably.
From the MSN article
The wannabe doppelganger noted that he didn’t have to particularly dress up for the event, saying “I wear this everywhere.”
His killer looks landed him $50.
The champ said he’s had his own issues with health insurance companies covering some of his medications, although he admitted he is not a UnitedHealthcare customer.
Killer looks guys
Nah, this plot (the assassination) was actually a bit of light in the darkness.
people should start going out wearing the same thing the shooter was wearing during the assassination. it would be funny
This is just modern day Assassin’s Creed gear. How long until some lunatic tries to make it big with a hidden blade?
I genuinely thought he’d have been caught by now. This is wild.
I genuinely thought the NYPD would have just grabbed a homeless guy and dressed him up before forcing a confession by now.

One would hope the cops take their sweet ass time doing their job this time, considering they might actually have someone that bought the insurance or get their insurance claim denied.
Oh snap imagine if the shooter was actually a cop and it comes to light. I’d love to see how Lemmy reacts to that
yeah but it’s especially hard in this case.
-
this isn’t the defense department; it’s the police. they don’t have a billion dollar budget
-
this guy was killed in a dark back alley in the middle of the night
-
they don’t have security footage on him
oh wait. sorry.
-
the NYPD has a multi-billion dollar budget
-
the suspect killed the demon outside a Hilton hotel under some fantastic lighting
-
he did it right in front of a camera with such specific attire that it became a cosplay competition
so this is about fucking cops being as incompetent as they always are. if you don’t have black or brown people to shoot don’t even bother calling them; that’s why they signed up.
Next thing you know he’s raiding spice harvesters
Is this now the real-life “V” Guy Fawkes mask equivalent?
