The whole thing has to be fiction. NYC has some of the most restrictive gun laws control laws in the nation. Surely someone bent on murder would not break the law on gun control.

Newer models. Not on older models still on the road.

Self control is mandatory in leadership and especially in law enforcement.
I wonder if he was a “Jackboot” early in his career.

Lemme check...magic eight ball says; “all signs point to yes”

If the guy rented an eBay, he could’ve used a prepaid credit card that’s not traceable

“Deny” He was denied surgery by insurance company?
“Defend” He is defending his rights?
“Delete” He is deleting the adversary?

Could this be a Tranny that was denied surgery?

It is starting to look like this guy didn’t plan this out very well.

No gloves, no sunglasses, visiting a Starbucks, renting an Ebike, and possibly staying at a hostel and showing his face.

Now now… It has been mentioned several times, but it’s worth repeating. Facial recognition software really only works effectively near the DC capitol area in the first part of January. Really… It’s a proven fact! Facial recognition outside of that it is iffy. ;)

Yeah, I saw that too. It could be a difference of camera that picks up the reflective straps, or it could be a different guy.

Combination of reflective material on the backpack plus infrared camera could easily make it look light gray when it is actually black.

One shot hit the victim in the calf... The FBI obviously has a very different definition of what “proficient” means than I do...

Hey, for the Fabulous Bunch of Incompetents, maybe that *is* proficient...

(Insert pun about being a leg up on the investigation here.)

If it was a citibike and not his personal bike. That backpack is about $300 so the guy probably can afford a personal e bike.

Major breakthrough: the FBI has officially announced that they are unclear as to the shooter’s motive.

Exactly!!

And, amazing how they could find J6ers, instantly....even those who weren’t on the immediate Cap grounds.

🤔

They know exactly who this guy is/WAS.

Who knows? I do know one thing, if the assassin was a tranny, they’ll bury that beside John Gotti!

Friendly But Incompetent couldn’t handle Col Cooper’s perfect pistol caliber, the 10mm ACP... Anything else has been suspect from them for a long time.
