Sounds like superhero in training. Luigi has escaped

[–] [email protected] 24 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Luigi is allegedly the Adjuster.
This guy is the Firestarter.

Completely different, but noble, people.

Suspect? Who cares?

This guy is a hero and not guilty.

He was at my house playing Catan that night.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 17 hours ago

You're wrong he was doing charity work in Oklahoma, couldn't possibly been in New York that day.

I've been seeing this a lot lately, what does ACAB mean? I feel like I used to know and like it's on the tip of my tongue but it has so far alluded me.

I believe the standard meaning is "All Cops Are Bad". Could also mean "Assigned Cute at Birth" though I'm not sure

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

You were assigned cute at birth. Gottem.

I appreciate the follow-up.

Motive?? He lives in NYC, and has seen cops before. That's the only motive he needs.

NYPD press release:

"Come on, man! We're bad, but we're not Tesla !"

[–] [email protected] 16 points 2 days ago

Wierd that they've arrested him multiple times, he has court dates, they're still looking for him, yet they won't say his name.

Go Firestarter, go!

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Gee why would someone torch cops?!

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

Now, now, let's be accurate: he's only torched their cars so far, but maybe he's just practicing. We can only hope.
