Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.
Rules:
-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --
-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --
-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --
-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today/ . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --
-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--
-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--
-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --
-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

New tagline
I'm imagining him calling five or six midtown hotels pretending to want to make changes as Brian Thompson before he hit on one where the desk agent let slip that there was a reservation
EDIT: apparently the CEO was staying in a hotel "across the street", so it may have been the first or second one he called. judging by the map there's really just the Warwick and The Luxury Collection Hotel Manhattan Midtown that's that close by
it seems a little strange to me, before getting caught, to write in a voice where you assume you are already caught instead of addressing the public
I read it as a "if you are reading this I am already dead" kinda vibe.
what is CAD here?
CAD is a software for making 3d models.
He used CAD to design the 3d printed ghost gun for the shooting
3d files for glock frames are very easy to find. You don't need CAD for this, unless he's just trying to sound cool and savvy. He certainly didn't design the gun.
Computer Aided Design. Probably for 3D printing the gun parts
Computer Aided Doohickey
TBH I wouldn't be surprised if he like mapped out the area of the city in CAD to figure out where the target would be visible from, where he could hide the bicycle, and what his route to the park would look like, or some shit like that. It's definitely not beyond the galaxy-brainedness of this kind of techbro (assuming it really was this guy, of course).
EDIT: NVM, I guess. I see the gun allegedly found on him at McDonald's is claimed to be a 3D print.
Its software he used to print his gun probably
I wondered that too. Computer Aided Drafting or Design? Huh?
Oh, wait a second, it just clicked! He's probably referring to using CAD for 3D printing the gun!
I'd guess this is reference to the gun? However, it's possible there's some other usage I'm unaware of? Is the acronym Computer Aided Design?
