Sexy and a rebel. I like it.

Two questions:

  1. Is this a typical amount of effort to solve a single victim shooting in NYC?

  2. Is the dude just trolling everyone now? I feel like the Monopoly money is some sort of statement.

To the first, no. This is reserved for the rich.

  1. Lol no.
  2. Yeah, he clearly was making a statement.

I don't understand why they would put so much man power into this specific case. People get murdered constantly, but it's rare for it to get this much coverage. If anything, it just emphasizes how the guy was justified.

These people are treated like royalty compared to the average person.
