I’m an American and we don’t abbreviate the American Civil War. It’s not like World War I or II where it’s almost universally known abbreviation. For all I know, you could be taking about an Argentinian Civil War or any number of <Nation that starts with the letter “A”> Civil War.edit: for the other Albertan: how do you not know ACW == Americal Civil War?
(this being a Civ game site I mean) of course, could just be standard BrainFart(tm) striking.
For there to be an ACW2 there would have to be a rebellious side of significant numbers in some kind of geographic proximity along with some organizing structure or leader to direct their actions. ACW1 had a cause that had been brewing for years and half the country that supported it. They had a physical space to organize themselves and form an army. War, violence and rebellion are too disruptive for most people to even consider. We are a pretty lazy people when it comes to civil action. the Freedom Riders of the 1950s and anti war protestors for the 60s and 70s are about as close as we have gotten to significant civil action and those were all local actions directed at either local or state governments or national policy. What would all these MAGA hard asses actually do? Go shoot the state legislators? march on Washington to take over the government? Gather in Kansas to make an army of 50,000 fat old men with guns and dressed in camo? March around living off the land by raiding supermarkets?
Whether he kept the gun on his person or not wasnt going to change how soon he was caught. (Just the certainty they had the right guy when they did catch him). How quickly did he leave NYPD's jurisdiction for NYPD to find him on their own?

Maybe. But he could also have simply dumped incriminating evidences, and kept a regular gun not connected with his shooting with him. The fact he had a well-planned escape plan that he executed perfectly shows that he intended to get away with it if possible.
Keeping a pile of evidences on yourself for days on end is hardly "a small detail", though.
All that would sound plausible if he had been caught in the few hours after the shooting, but it just feels weird after several days.
MAGA in the US has nothing to do with what the words mean. We have lived with those folks for 9+ years and understand their cult leader and goals pretty well. They do not offer anything of value to the country and are the most divisive force in US politics in recent years.
Where would you hide it if you dont own any property in a city with millions of people?
He wasnt a criminal mastermind, we can agree on that. That in no way means he wasnt the shooter which some like to insinuate "the act of murder was so well planned, he couldnt have messed up and got caught".
That occurred to me. It's possible he knew he couldn't run forever from a high-profile killing in this day and age, but he did take the opportunity make a mockery of the NYPD by slipping away, rather than just wait for them at the site with manifesto in hand.
Jan 6 was a pretty significant Civil action. The BLM protests, particularly during the COVID lockdowns were also pretty significant Civil action. The Occupy Wall Street protests all over the country were also pretty significant Civil Action. I'd even say the Tea Party rallies/protests were pretty significant Civil action. The Million Man March was also a significant Civil action.
Yes.
Initially the news was portraying him as a professional hitman because he had a proper shooting stance, attached a silencer to his weapon and knew how to clear a bullet jam.
I don't think he necessarily wanted to be caught, but he knew that getting caught was probably inevitable. It definitely seems like he wanted to shoot some additional targets on his list before getting caught.
What the heck is a "Hutnen"?
