A grainy image of his face drew comparisons to Hollywood heartthrobs. A jacket similar to the one he’s wearing on wanted posters is reportedly flying off the shelves. And the words written on the bullets he used to kill a man in cold blood on a sidewalk on Wednesday have become, for some people, a rallying cry.

Four days after a gunman assassinated a top health insurance executive in Midtown Manhattan and vanished, the unidentified suspect has, in some quarters, been venerated as something approaching a folk hero.

      I literally deleted my post immediately after posting it because I thought better of it. For fuck’s sake.

      I can’t help it if deleted by creator is still there. That’s how Lemmy works.

        And I replied before you deleted it. I appreciate it. But my statement stands. For tonight anyway. I don’t have anything against you. I’m just done with this particular conversation. Your interests and mine have differed too much for me to want to continue, and I’m trying to control how easily I get irritated, that’s all.

        Have a good night.
