Title. I know that he's a fucking high profile criminal in the Empire right now and sooner or later, he's gonna be found - which is, unfortunately, the most likely outcome. However, what are the implications if he is to theoretically defect to a country where the Empire has the least jurisdiction in such as the DPRK? Is it feasible? I mean, I know how the DPRK is known to he strict with immigration and stuff but he is a big fucking enemy against the Imperial Core now so like...
These weak official enemy states are historically not fans at all of high-profile western adventurists flying to them for asylum.
Like it really puts strain on their already strained diplomatic relations and there are many levers imperialists can pull to make life worse for them
I'm not believing it. They have nothing at it's been almost 72 hours. The only way they get him is if he told someone the whole plan and the snitch. Or they just pick some random person.
Personally leaning towards the find someone with a similar face frame then and then shoot them. And magic you have your CEO Killer
What makes you think they won't catch him? It took the government 12 days to find John Wilkes Booth. Although, the US government does sound like doing shit like you mentioned considering how dystopian and fascist it is.
John Wilkes Booth was a famous actor, he couldn't hide forever. No one knows who this person is and police only solve 60% of murder cases.
Imo the killer may not have even left the country. Leaving the state would probably be enough.
John Wilkes Booth couldn't be on the other side of the planet in 12 days though. It took them 12 days to find him in like a 30 mile radius.
If he's not identified, he's safe.
Tens of thousands of murders happen per year. Half are never solved now.
They're going to throw more resources at it, but if the guy is competent there's a strong chance that he actually won't be caught.
We don't even know if the suspect images they have up are the right guy. 2 of the images are clearly different people in different outfits.
Why fly to North Korea when he could probably get away with hiding in North Dakota.
maybe he'd rather not be in north dakota?
i think its more viable to escape to Cuba
I dunno. Considering its proximity to the US and how Cuba is one of the nations under Interpol jurisdiction, its easy for the Empire to send in some Gusano or CIA troopers to ahem suicide by gunshot him.
Assata Shakur is still alive in Cuba so i dont think they could get him
Yeah I was thinking the same, Cuba seems like the better choice because of the precedent of Shakur. But at the same time, Cuba in 1979 was much stronger and had a lot more resources to accommodate refugees than they do today, they had the soviet union to back them up so it didn't matter as much if they strained their relationship with the USA. It might be more difficult now.
Possibly slightly different to martyr a revolutionary and drag Shakur back into the open.
This CEO killer seems to have a lot of public support but he's no threat to the system; at the moment, the bourgeois press is still crafting the story and if he gets killed soon, they can spend a fortnight reshaping the official narrative and that's that.
Never heard of anyone besides Japanese people flying to the DPRK in exile. I know there are some US citizens in exile in Cuba.
Maybe Russia but even that's a stretch
Cuba's more likely. I hope he's in Havana by now.
100 percent.
The shooter drowned himself in the Hudson to be revived later through Juche necromancy
The DPRK will take political exiles who have to leave their home country because they fought for social justice. Not sure if adventurism counts and I'm not sure whether this guy would be trusted.
Can’t think of any country that wouldn’t extradite him.
Russia maybe, but definitely not north korea
