Yep, Peak Design Everyday available in 20L or 30L capacity. Modular interior, multiple ways to access the main compartment; I got it not to use for its intended purpose (camera gear) but as a boot around bag with a convenient way to access the oxygen concentrator device Mrs Tif needs when we're out and about.

I have the V1 version in that same Ash colorway. Those bags brand new are not cheap and it does not suggest a person who is down-on-their-luck.

It's not universal, but it's been refreshing to see both left and right come together (if only briefly) on that CEO story. Ben Shapiro and other right wingers were talking about the "Left celebrating murder" and a wide majority of their own followers told him he's just another privileged millionaire that doesn't get it, and it's not a left vs. right issue.

Some leopard/face dynamic of course but I'll take any glimmer of positivity I can find these days.

There should not be shock that something like this has happened. The surprise is that it doesn't happen like half a dozen times a year.

Won't someone think of the rich white folk?!?!?!

Person of interest (ie the shooter?) arrested and held for questioning...in Altoona. Stay tuned.

Altoona has rats?

Post by **dodint** » Mon Dec 09, 2024 11:48 am

Seems weird a dude that was so elusive in the beginning would get nabbed in a McDonalds carrying the pistol, silencer, and a stack of fake IDs.

Post by **shafnutz05** » Mon Dec 09, 2024 11:52 am

Altoona is on the map again!

I hope it was at the McDonalds that I enjoyed a McRib at only 2 short weeks ago.

They arrested this guy because they suspect the killer had a welrod and this guy does too, but the killer in the video appears to be firing a semi-automatic...

Post by **LeopardLetang** » Mon Dec 09, 2024 12:24 pm

He has the same fake passport the guy in the hostel showed apparently? If that was even the same guy? I could walk to that McDonald's in 3 minutes

Ugh. Shoulda been a sheetz.

supposedly carrying documents railing on the insurance industry. he's toast.

Post by **nocera** » Mon Dec 09, 2024 1:28 pm

The funniest outcome is this dude being overestimated as some sort of criminal mastermind V for Vendetta hero and it turns out he's a moron who got caught because he went into a McDonalds with the murder weapon, fake passports, and anti insurance documents.

I can see the write up now:

“The suspect was apprehended near the coffee makers while he was waiting for order 647- two crispy chicken shnack wraps and an order of mozzarella sticks”
