Man what a responsible individual. E-bike rentals, mass transit, killing parasitic CEO's, this guy seems to be fairly eco-friendly.
He didn't compost the body though. 😔
He did the best he could with the constraints he had.
He can't do everything. We all must pitch in to help eat the elephant.
What would happen if we all went tinkle on his grave? Would that help composting?
Only one way to find out.
Not really, I don't think urine is a very microbe friendly environment.
That's a misconception. Typical healthy urine has microbe flora, most of which are helpful.
Then why am I washing my hands after I go pee?
Because you touched your wee wee
I think we can forgive such a minor transgression.
I heard they're hiding out in a billionaire's house. The police better raid and thoroughly search all of those.
Good. I hope he's since gotten on a plane and is chilling on a beach in a non-extradition country right now.
The Adjuster. True American Hero.
He's probably sailing so his carbon footprint stays low.
Sailing would keep his emissions low but a sailboat has a giant footprint
Unless he made the sailboat himself out of recycled materials!
Shipwrights hate this one neat trick!
Compared to a jumbo jet?
Maybe he should sail the boat on the water instead of wearing it on his feet like shoes
That's not what I heard, pretty sure he's still in NYC.
Unless he is, in which case he definitely fled the country.
It's mostly the police saying they spotted a man who fit the description enter a bus station and not be seen leaving it. He's probably going to a variety of US based places at the moment, but he should leave the county ASAP in case DNA points to the actual suspect and he gets put on a no fly list. P
DNA only helps if he's already in the system for some reason, like a previous crime. Or I suppose if he's ever used one of those DNA ancestry things. I bet the police have access to that, whether they're supposed to or not.
And for a no fly list, they need to know who it is first. If they knew that, we'd probably know as well since they're clearly trying to cast the net as wide as possible.

Noooope....
He simply needs some family that contributed to 23andMe or similar, to narrow it down.
That's enough for a Judge to force them to hand over a DNA sample for comparison.
People online always want to assume everyone has large families for some reason. Most people don't have a huge extended family. Only children with small extended families are pretty common.
As far as I know, my sperm donor doesn't have a huge family. All it takes is your one sibling to take a genetics test to no longer be an anonymous sperm donor. Same applies here. It just takes one.
Pretty sure they have everyone's DNA by now, between all the ancestry databases and the like.
That assumes they were able to collect DNA from the scene. Which is a public street in the largest city in the country.
I heard he's hanging out the mole men in the sewers. The cops better check every pipe.
fled
Pretty sure he just kinda left. Probably could’ve been high-fiving people on the way out.
Now I want to see The Adjuster, the musical, escape scene
No idea why you linked "wiki news" instead of one of the articles it cited...
UnitedHealth Group said it was focused on supporting Thompson’s family, ensuring the safety of employees and assisting investigators. “While our hearts are broken, we have been touched by the huge outpouring,” the company said.
But that gave me a chuckle, there has definitely been a huge outpouring, and I liked how their comment omits what exactly people have been saying, just that they're saying stuff.
I’m into the wikinews link for this subject, for some reason.
If you meant because of the quote, it's from one of the articles...
The wikinees link was like two paragraphs with no info
I didn't see nuthin.
Pretty sure I saw him in Nunavut. They should send the investigators there.
Bro he is in the Sahel right now
Maybe they should comb the desert.
All they found was Tuvix
He was definitely in Imperial Beach last night. Said something about Zihuatanejo. Might find him in Mexico at this point.
Lol more convinced than ever they're following some Canadian/Vermont kid on a bus trip back north, just because he stopped a night in a NY hostel and wore the wrong type of jacket on his morning coffee run.
Haha, yeah that’s probably it. We should all buy grey hoodies now just to throw them off
Imagine the kid is doing just normal kid things and all the cops on the stakeout are like: "Sir, he's assembling the lego millenium Falcon... menacingly"
I wonder how difficult it would be to simply blend in with the homeless for a few weeks. They're pretty much invisible.
I imagine you could buy a bunch of similar Jackets and distribute them to the homeless in an area prior to doing anything, and just crash with them for some time after.
I always thought that this clip was too outrageous to be realistic...
I guess that I stand corrected!
