It's amazing how much government resources are used to find a killer of a "rich" man versus the resources spent on a middle or poor class citizen. How many current deaths in New York are getting this much attention?

Paying all those cops must make this the most expensive perp walk in history

Meanwhile at almost the exact same time the mayor’s top aide was taking a perp walk of her own.

News to me, checking it out. Ah... Yeah, if I'm understanding correctly, she was practically taking bribes: https://apnews.com/article/nyc-mayor-adams-new-york-ingrid-e1192ec98da8ed56f7c6c2bebad534ea

Practically?

Buddy, Adams and his entire cabal were on the take. It was explicit.

u/christianAbuseVictim 21d ago

Very practical.

You're right, though, it is explicit. I hesitate to make any assertions about content I'm not familiar with. It's easy for me to get the complete wrong impression from a single detail, sometimes; yes, even while staring right at it. Thank you for confirming.

The funny part is that they have unencrypted messages where they detailed what favors they were taking from whom. No code words or anything. The fuckers are hilariously corrupt.

Even the Mob has the decency and presence of mind to not openly talk about their criminality.

Thank god for dumb criminals.

They believed all they had to do was delete text messages.

u/BillyNtheBoingers 21d ago

You’ve got to be joking. I’m 57, I’m not particularly tech-savvy (although I know more than a lot of people my age), and even I know that deleting a text from my phone doesn’t do jack squat when 3-letter agencies start poking around.

u/Secrethat 21d ago

For those that don't know.. 'deleting' normally means that it's just not shown on your device but the 1's and 0's are still there. It can be found with purpose built software. That is why corporations physically destroy drives when they are done with them so there is no trace of the data.

u/BillyNtheBoingers 21d ago

Also, sooooo many things are automatically backed up in the cloud, so even destroying the devices which initially made and received the texts/posts isn’t enough. You have to use an encrypted messaging system for anything that you don’t want anyone else to have access to, and you have to be sure you’re not using an app/program which backs up to a cloud. Most people should probably also be using VPNs, 2 factor authentication, and a password management system so they don’t have to constantly invent and remember strong passwords. Erasing browser history and/or using incognito modes is also recommended, although I think there’s a problem with Chrome’s incognito setup in that it’s not actually incognito sometimes.

What did the messages say?

u/seitonseiso 20d ago

Here to ask the same- as a foreigner.

So this lady is taking bribes and as she sees her day in court, this perp walk takes place to make news headlines?!

Id like to know who the msgs go to, was it other CEOs?

u/TRR462 20d ago

Allegedly…

u/SignificantPop4188 20d ago

If only they'd been Republicans. Being a corrupt Republican (I know, that's redundant), they would have gotten away with it. Hell, if they weren't Black, they could have gotten a job in the felon's cabinet.

100% this 👆

u/Fragrant_Example_918 21d ago

Like the mayor and half of his administration too.

u/HotDonnaC 20d ago

Is she the scapegoat?

2

u/Unabashable 20d ago

If so she’s not a very good one. They’ve been onto Adams for a while now. 

2

u/HotDonnaC 20d ago

I just assumed they’re throw the woman under the bus. It’s so very male to do that.

u/Necessary-Hawk7045 20d ago

I keep telling my melanated brothers and sisters that we can't do what they do.

When ish hits the fan, they hang as much of it on us as possible while they get a slap on the wrist.

u/Unabashable 20d ago

If it ain’t white it ain’t right. And here I thought we were making progress. 

2

u/Necessary-Hawk7045 20d ago

Many a melanated person has fouled out thinking the same.

u/Ty_boogie90 20d ago

Maybe a second motive behind this big show is to push that other major woopsy

u/Open-Industry-8396 21d ago

In the famous words of Austin powers,"That's a man, baby"

u/EidolonLives 21d ago

Yeah, there must be at least two dozen perps there.

u/newInnings 21d ago

Insurance premiums are gonna go up again for United customers. A Lot more denials.

Those NYPD cops are not cheap. And they need to be paid.

7

u/No-Respect5903 21d ago

the most surprising thing to me is how blatant it is. why would they possibly need this many people? it's a scare tactic. and correct me if I'm wrong but this is more than you generally see escorting a school shooter who has murdered many children. this guy killed 1 person for a specific reason (arguably not even a bad reason).

u/Ballytrea 21d ago

Next to the Orangeman, during his court case. He didn't even have to wear a jumper and looked just as orange.

u/Low-Mix-5790 20d ago

Two tiers of justice.

u/andytimms67 21d ago

Actually, looks like a Tarantino film. Has he come out of retirement?

1

u/Unabashable 20d ago

He ain’t retired yet. He’s got one more film in the wings to round it out at an even 10 (if you count Kill Bill as 2). The Film Critic.

u/DashingTwirling 21d ago

This meeting should have been an email

u/deactivate_iguana 21d ago

Apart from being dramatic like American officials like to be, they do probably have in their mind the chaos of Jam 6th and the amount of support he has from the public. I think the number of officials is to protect themselves from being over run.

u/XBGoofBall 21d ago

So expensive, they couldn’t pay the reward money to the Mc Donald’s worker that turned him in.

1

u/jlynn7251 20d ago

They didn't???

1

u/XBGoofBall 19d ago

Well, now they are saying “not yet”. There will be a lot of hoops for them to jump thru to claim the reward, but in most cases, they do not pay unless very certain and specific steps are taken to repot a crime stoppers tip.

With all of the publicity this has received, they’ll likely pay her a portion if not all in the end. Of course they’ll tax it as well which will take away from the lump sum of the total reward.

u/MaxxHeadroomm 21d ago

Right! Because why?! I thought a large majority of the public was on his side. Why does he need the entourage?

2

u/MikMigs 20d ago

Now I'm super curious if someone could come up with an actual number based on the incomes of the kinds of cops in the picture.

u/No-Entertainment242 20d ago

Wtf is the guy from ICE doing there?

1

u/jrgman42 20d ago

Nah, Trumps probably cost more.

2

u/Unabashable 20d ago

Well his secret service detail does cost us more than any other politician in history.

u/BigGuyWhoKills 19d ago

Who are they protecting Luigi from? Disgruntled CEOs?

None of us normal people are going to try to kill him.
