No Stupid Questions
No such thing. Ask away!

The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.

Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.

Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.
If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.
Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.
If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

Assuming they catch him, it's part of the process.
No matter how you cut it, no matter how much you agree with how actions, and whatever reason he may have had, murder isn't something that can be dismissed when it is an act of its own. It has to be prosecuted.
Now, you might notice that italics. When murder is done as part of war, it isn't murder any more, it's an enemy casualty, and isn't typically going to be prosecuted as murder.
If what the guy did is part of a bigger movement, and that movement ends up with enough changes, it might be treated as no different than a soldier shooting a target on a battlefield. I'm not saying there isn't a difference, I'm saying that if power shifts enough, the country changes enough, a killer becomes a hero.
If that's what it turns out to be, trying to prosecute it as murder would be a joke, a waste of time, so I wouldn't want it to happen.
But if it's just one dude grinding his own path for himself? Well, if it isn't prosecuted, it's as much a failure of the system as every decision the shitty CEO made and wasn't fired for. Two wrongs don't make a right on that scale. Tbh, a thousand wrongs for a good reason don't make a right, it just makes the problem a different scale, with different priorities.
The only difference between an insurrection and a revolution is success, in other words.
they will catch him. they already have his photo, he is not professional hitman, he can only evade for so long when there is the whole country's law enforcement after him.
Not even sure if that's the perpetrator.
They are just scrambling to blame anyone at this point. Even low-profile cases have resulted in wrongful convictions, for a high-profile case, they have even higher incentive to just find a scapegoat.
Law enforcement have shit insurance scams to deal with too. I certainly wouldn't work hard on the case.
I would say that depends on his resources. And I wouldn't say that the entire country's law enforcement is after him, at least not yet. As of when I'm writing this, I can't find any mentions of anything beyond the NYPD being involved in the investigation.
Normally, you wouldn't even see state level involvement in a local homicide investigation. It just isn't useful. When that does occur, it tends to be because there's a belief the suspect has left the original jurisdiction, or that evidence in other jurisdictions needs to be gathered.
That's extra true for the feds.
Yeah, with this being some corporate fuck that's the victim, if it goes on long enough, those outside agencies will at least "offer" resources, but it isn't going to be happening this soon.
If the guy has resources of his own, particularly if he has somewhere far enough away to go and funds to stay off grid for a while, he could go decades without getting caught, if ever.
Of course, there's still zero information about the guy that's meaningful. He could be planning to turn himself in as a form of martyr, for all we know. Could have been his plan from the start.
the all country's law enforcement was partially hyperbole, partially not. it already got a lot more manpower than average murder, the system has to protect itself here, because if this goes unpunished, other rich people might be next, and rich people are those who control the system. that is not a conspiracy, that is the way of life, as they say.
now this guy is clearly not a professional, so who is he? he is either someone with personal motive or someone really dedicated to making a social commentary.
if it is the former and he is someone whose close person died because of being denied coverage or something like that, that is a) the way to find him and b) it probably means he doesn't have funds to go hide in his den indefinitely, because he would use such funds towards treatment of the person he is avenging.
if it is the latter, than who knows, but i personally think it is someone described in the last paragraph.
This wasn't part of war. This wasn't part of any revolution. This was a disgusting murder of an innocent person in cold blood. The killer needs to be caught and brought to justice.
