It's like the old saying, "If you see a child stealing food, no you didn't."

[–] aeronmelon@lemmy.world 109 points 4 months ago (3 children)

If you see anyone of any age stealing food, no you didn’t.

[–] Deceptichum@quokk.au 32 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago) (1 children)

Nah.

Rich people steal for “fun” sometimes.

And something like baby formula is often stolen to be sold overseas, not because they needed it.

[–] aeronmelon@lemmy.world 40 points 4 months ago (10 children)

Maybe so. But if there’s any possibility it’s a genuine need, don’t ruin a baby’s chance to get fed.

Exactly

[–] Deadeyegai@lemmy.world 153 points 4 months ago (4 children)

I mean they say this is the guy they're looking for...but is it?? I don't recognize him at all. Also he doesn't seem to have that fancy backpack in between pictures. This leads me to believe that these are 2 separate dudes. Clothing colors are also different.

To the people of New York:

We have a responsibility as citizens to respect our civic duty to justice. You may be selected for a jury to try a suspect for this murder. It may be the one responsible, it may be a scapegoat. In either case, after the judicial proceedings, you will be asked to assent to a verdict. On that day, you will be required to ensure justice is served. On that day, remember just two words: jury nullification.

[–] pivot_root@lemmy.world 57 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago) (2 children)

I'll admit, you had me in the first half.

For anyone genuinely considering jury nullification, it's also probably not a good idea to bring it up before deliberation. Lawyers typically try to get jurors dismissed when they're aware that it's actually an option.

Lemmy.world amended their TOS to ban people for promoting Jury Nullification.

[–] agamemnonymous@sh.itjust.works 13 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Goodness, when was that?

[–] Deceptichum@quokk.au 22 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago) (2 children)

After they banned everyone for it, and later said they would change the TOS to ban people for it.

I mean there's a million eyes on them, they're either gonna get the right or the whole DA is gonna be in a world of shit.

If it comes out they intentionally framed someone cause they couldn't find the right guy, there's no way this won't come out. Already disregarding the heightened likelyhood on jury nullification and general unwillingness for the public to cooperate.

There's so many news stations in proximity and so many people who'd speak out in a nanosecond, they can't even get to fuck around before they find out.

Pretty sure his dress is gold, not blue 😆

Just pointing out that had it been an average Joe who got assassinated and we had a clear picture of the killer's face we wouldn't even have heard about it on the news. Now they want everyone to look for him.

And suddenly an entire city has facial blindness.

[–] cm0002@lemmy.world 41 points 4 months ago

Facial blindness and knowledge of jury nullification, for reasons...

[–] witten@lemmy.world 30 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Oh I like that phrasing even better! I changed the meme. Thank you!

[–] dumbass@leminal.space 13 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

No worries, I love that they've released his face and still no one's saying shit. The poors are working together for the greater good.

Edit: Also, why does the first picture look like a young Joe Rogan?

[–] BonesOfTheMoon@lemmy.world 79 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Couldn't say it better myself.

[–] NevermindNoMind@lemmy.world 39 points 4 months ago (1 children)

I like thinking he was avenging some family member(s) who died due to claim denials, or something along those lines. If we find out he's some Qanon weirdo operating on some conspiracy about endrinochrome or whatever, it's really going to dampen the vibes.

[–] BonesOfTheMoon@lemmy.world 14 points 4 months ago

I sincerely hope he was. I hope it felt really good. I collected a mountain of screenshots from Facebook today of people who had lifesaving claims denied by them, and it's so shocking written out even though of course it isn't.

[–] MrPibb@lemmynsfw.com 65 points 4 months ago (3 children)

I get the point of this meme but if you look at the photo of the assassin he’s wearing a beige backpack with beige shoulder straps. This just seems like a guy wearing a similar jacket on the wrong day.

[–] shoulderoforion@fedia.io 65 points 4 months ago

Doesn't look like anything to me

[–] witten@lemmy.world 49 points 4 months ago

I didn't see nuthin'.

Guy on the bottom has a mouse cursor over him so it’s obvious the pic is AI. Can’t prove the top pic isn’t also AI. These pics tell me nothing…this guy probably doesn’t even exist.

[–] lud@lemm.ee 37 points 4 months ago (2 children)

What does a mouse cursor have to do with that? It's likely just an old school literal screenshot.

[–] Cethin@lemmy.zip 29 points 4 months ago (1 children)

My assumption is that the comment was making a joke to just ignore this face because it isn't real. I assume they know it is, it's just an excuse to not pay attention if you see someone who looks like this.

First they use our help to search sunken rich people, now they want our help to find rich people killers.

[–] Bunnylux@lemmy.world 24 points 4 months ago (1 children)

The mayor of New York City literally said in an interview that the guy was masked the whole time and the face pictures were generated using "police techniques". Why is no one talking about this???

[–] witten@lemmy.world 14 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago) (3 children)

I think you're probably misinterpreting the quote. Here's the reporting on this from the NYT:

Mayor Eric Adams said Friday morning that the investigation was “on the right track.” In an interview on Spectrum News NY1, the mayor added: “This person was fully masked, and we used good old-fashioned police work to come up with the picture you have.”

I think what the mayor is saying here is that because the alleged killer was masked, the cops actually had to do some detective work, canvas door-to-door maybe, pull security footage, that sort of thing. It wasn't just a case of sitting back and running facial recognition on the killer like something outta CSI.

Unless you're thinking of a different quote.

Why the fuck is that mouse cursor pointing right? How did that happen? What kind of loving God would allow that?

[–] kelseybcool@lemmy.world 17 points 4 months ago

It's a left handed mouse 😁

Anybody else see this photo and think 1) damn, that's a nice smile; he's fine, and 2) my hero.

I think this scene summarises the situation very well: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cRcfqpyuk9k
