The suspect is still at large - officials earlier said they found a high-powered rifle in woods near where Kirk was shot.

Also, “high powered rifle” essentially means “not a 22”.

      Speaking of the devil. Did any award money in the Luigi case actually get distributed? If not, are there reasonable conditions not met yet?

        I saw a theory the other day that there was no tip from an McDonald’s employee. The authorities might’ve used some illegal surveillance to find him and just said it was a tip from an employee to avoid acknowledging that.

          Which is funny because his lawyers will definitely ask for this info in discovery and it will come out anyways. Also if they found him using illegal tech they could argue it in his favor.

            That’s why they were trying to push the McDonald’s narrative, they probably just couldn’t find a patsy to take the heat there.

            The existence of “stingrays” (fake cell towers used to surveil protesters and others) was made public due to legal discovery.

        No, the McDonalds worker didn’t get the ‘reward’ money because they called local police instead of the CrimeStoppers number when they reported it.

          Ain’t that a shame. Who could have guessed that would happen? Not the opportunistic class-traitor, that’s for sure.
