EDIT: According to this, the dude in the meme is not the actual shooter. I haven't seen any legit sources one way or another. It's just a meme, please leave this guy alone.

Or get him in touch with Hawk T'ua Girl. Either way, he deserves it.

I think there's a healthy dose of remembering all the times it's been reported how police have railroaded innocent people for the sake of a conviction and closing the case, mixed with seeing this person as a modern-day Robin Hood and not wanting him to be identified. The dude could have been wearing a Beetlejuice suit with a face like Sloth from the Goonies and people would still say "that's not him" because he put on a tiny pink cowboy hat.

This man will be an American folk hero in time. And if that thought seems disgusting, I'll invite you to read up on American history.
