Adams was quoted by the Post as saying the police were withholding the suspect's name for now to deny him any advantage.

“We don’t want to release that now,” the mayor said. “If you do, you are basically giving a tip to the person we are seeking and we do not want to give him an upper hand at all. Let him continue to believe he can hide behind the mask."

Yeah yeah. I'll believe it when you prove it Adams. Sounds like you still have Jack shit to me.

That part cracks me up. As if the killer has no idea the police are after him.

[–] [email protected] 65 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

It's worse.

It implies the killer has no idea who he is, so the police informing the name is different from just telling him they know his name.

Oh god, is it John Doe?

[–] [email protected] 25 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Maybe he doesn't read Reddit.

[–] [email protected] 23 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Maybe reddit can point the finger at a dead college student again.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 weeks ago

All they've got is "has a backpack" and "running away". It's just like past time!

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 weeks ago

Look, they're doing their best okay?

[–] [email protected] 45 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

If they had a name, they’d probably already have the person it belongs to in custody.

Let's just call him L Simpson... no wait, that's too obvious. Lisa S.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 weeks ago

Not Maggie S.?

I mean, this tips the guy off as much as releasing the name unless they are bluffing.

[–] [email protected] 22 points 2 weeks ago

If Adams held a press conference to say the sky was still blue, I'd promptly go out and check for myself.

Adams is a piece of shit Republican who has dropped any premise of ever being progressive. I look forward to the day he leaves his post.

Also, the guy is already a hero. The moment the public learns the guy's name, it's gonna become memorialized.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 2 weeks ago

Either they don't find the guy, in which case. Yay he's free.

Or if they do, his name is gonna be remember forever. Also bonus points if he gets set free by a Jury.

Even if, god forbid, he get shot by police. He becomes a martyr.

There's no good outcome for the elites.

DONT SAY HIS NAME. WE HAVE TO PROTECT MR SHIT

I MEAN SMITH 👀👀👀

[–] [email protected] 14 points 2 weeks ago

Lol, he's totally not going to get tipped off as long as you don't say his name. It's not like he's been like the only thing in the news in the last 3 days.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 weeks ago

So the guy knows they know who he is, but also knows they don't know who he is?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 weeks ago

maybe they're about to pick a scapegoat

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 weeks ago

Better be careful. If you say his name five times, he will appear.
