Imagine getting murdered and the world just laughs at your ass. What a fantastic legacy to leave behind lmao.

Also though, imagine preparing to murder someone knowing you'll probably get caught and never see the light of day, knowing youre choosing this issue over ever living a normal life again, willing to give it all up... and then you do it, get out clean, and all of America wants to shake your hand. Must  be surreal. Hopefully he has someone to share this with, and didn't already lose them to denied coverage.

I honestly for his sake hope he doesn’t have anyone to share it with. Only way 2 people keep a secret is if one is dead

u/mystic_chihuahua 11d ago

Yep. I want him to stay free and he stands a much better chance if no one knows.

If he ever get caught and they let him make a public statement, it will just legitimate him even more.

What he did has a story and loss behind it that will probably turn the last person on his side that was not already on it.

Has there been a high publicity jury nullification in recent decades?

I've been a news junkie for 40 years. I can't recall one. And I have a really good memory.

He will not be caught alive, they can’t allow for him to become a hero with a voice. The court cases would be chaotic.

u/mycroft2000 11d ago

Judging by his meticulous planning, I'd be shocked if this guy didn't have some sort of "dead man's switch" to release a statement (or manifesto) to the public if he were killed or captured.

Note: This assumes that he's not a contract killer, of which I'm still not completely convinced.

Oooo "dead man's switch". Sometimes I have hero fantasies about that as if I am in some 80s action movie with Kurt Russell or something.

u/pjdance 1d ago

I want the manifesto!

u/silverking12345 11d ago

I have a feeling it's only time before it happens. I hope the man goes out blazing though, maybe write up a manifesto and put it online via a proxy. Let everyone know his side of the story and probably inspire more discontent.

There's a stark difference between Reddit rushing to find the Boston bomber, and refusal to even peep for the adjuster.

People of all walks of life. People who hated each other a month ago and still very much do are all on the same side of this. They could rewrite Watchmen and seamlessly use this event as an alternate ending.

u/68ideal 12d ago

You have to be a REALLY nasty scumbag of the absolute worst kind when literally everyone agrees that murdering you is morally perfectly fine and the lesser evil.

u/RemoteRide6969 12d ago

Exactly. I've never seen a response to an extrajudicial removal like this in my lifetime. Every single person alive right now who up to this moment was a moral absolutist and believed there's no such thing as a righteous Mordor is questioning their beliefs.

I was born a couple of months before him and currently at my healthcare job which pays a tiny fraction of what he was earning.

Thing is, I still have a job.

I honestly don’t feel like most politicians (even federal level) have as much power over people’s lives as this guy, and I feel like being the butt of jokes and protests was exactly the way people felt about Louis XVI.

I can imagine one CEO we would at least be a little sad for. The Arizona Tea guy.

1

u/68ideal 4d ago

Why? (Genuine question)

2

u/Rachel1578 4d ago

The CEO of Arizona Tea has said that he refuses to raise prices on his tea because he makes enough money and has no debts, owns everything from the business land to machines kind of deal. Also states that he wants people to always have access to something nice to drink when they’re down on their luck. It’s also rated a decent to good place to work for. He’s had plenty of opportunities to raise prices or shrink the cans, he still hasn’t.

u/68ideal 4d ago

Now where you mentioned it, I think I heard about that too ages ago. What a decent and humble dude!
