Why are we pretending like this isn't prudent on NYPD's part? If this weren't 2000 miles away I'd probably show up, if not to try and bust him out then at the very least to throw shit at the cops and yell. And if I'm considering driving a prius thru the fence to free the guy, I can only imagine what the non suburban-cishet-white-male-techie demographic is feeling about it.

Yeah, I assumed it wasn't too keep him under control, but because of the hero worship he's receiving.

[-] Jesus_666@lemmy.world 49 points 2 days ago

Of course it still looks really bad on camera. This is one of those lose/lose situations where your best course of action still amplifies a message you probably don't want to amplify.

[-] Warl0k3@lemmy.world 29 points 2 days ago

Absolutely. Turns out people still hate murderers, and like justice. Hence the love for luigi and why Derrick Murderer hasn't got crowds demanding his release...

Makes him look way more important tho

[-] nepenthes@lemmy.world 6 points 2 days ago

To people who don't know the story (ie potential jurors) it could be detrimental, but I'm sure his lawyer will address that.

[-] MutilationWave@lemmy.world 5 points 2 days ago

Does any potential juror possibly not know about this? We're not talking about rare mineral slave miners here.

I'd try to get close enough to look like one of those true crime fanatics and throw my bra and panties at him. Pretty sure he would know how to use the bra wire to make lockpicks.

I think out of all I've been reading, your comment has brought me a lot joy and smiles. Thank you for something good on a Friday night after a tough week.

[-] Nasan@sopuli.xyz 2 points 2 days ago

Glad to help, as someone who fits the specified demographic in the comment I originally replied to. Except white, I have no ethnic background that would make me even remotely white. Hope the rest of the holiday season looks up for you, cheers!

I'm like the whitest woman I've ever met. Maybe if a bunch of us make posters with glitter paint like we're going to see a boy band and shower him with bras, our odds will go up both that he'll get one and keep it long enough, and that they'll assume we're "harmless."

...actually if we did the first part we could probably overwhelm them and free him.

[-] Nasan@sopuli.xyz 4 points 2 days ago

I like this idea. If any of the cops that move him in and out of his cell have the stereotypical cop mentality, they might make him put on one of the bras to emasculate him. Unknowingly giving him the keys to freedom.

[-] JovialMicrobial@lemm.ee 2 points 2 days ago

I hate wearing underwire bras, but I'd make an exception for something like this.

[-] flicker@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 2 days ago

We can put a comfy sports bra on underneath so we don't have to deal with the bouncing when we run away.

[-] ivanafterall@lemmy.world 5 points 2 days ago

Someone needs to covertly get a Poltergust 3000 in there.

[-] jballs@sh.itjust.works 8 points 2 days ago

That sounds completely reasonable, until you realize the mayor of NYC was there right behind him. That one little detail blows up the whole story and makes you realize that it was just a photo op.

[-] MutilationWave@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days ago

I think they're on top of a building after the helicopter landed. Don't quote me on that. I know you're just bullshitting but if you really want to do something don't go throw shit at cops and get yourself arrested, do something smart.
