I’m timid about this and might be late to a party where others already had this idea, so please, no haters.
I can’t get over how facile and stupid the identification of LM was at a McDoballs. This is someone who fell off the entire grid for three months??
Just asking… but couldn’t an organization trying to conceal its reach and inevitability track a fella… and then… force an identification?
I do not have any idea about details… it’s broad strokes. Could it be? How many other privacy lovers heard about these three months completely off the grid somehow and also wondered… how?
Please pardon if this isn’t the appropriate place but the real theme is privacy. What if the watchers are always watching even when a person might believe they have made themself completely digitally invisible?
And that the police took the report seriously, to dedicate enough resources and shoot no one. They suspected he’d have a weapon, and no bullets flew from a group known for weak trigger discipline.
How many shitty fake reports from the poor sighted and easily convinced did they need to sift through to jump up for this one.
It’s all fishy af.
It seemed fishy, but I didn’t anticipate that LE would be unprofessional enough to put a bunch of random McD’s employees in the crossfire by lying about them being the ones to report. Then again…
Hell, I remember during Trump’s term they basically waxed a protestor as he was going to work. My guess is McDonald’s didn’t want the bad press of a shooting on their property.
