Authorities have identified the man suspected of killing UnitedHealth executive Brian Thompson and are closing in on him, New York City Mayor Eric Adams was quoted as saying on Saturday by the New York Post.

Adams was quoted by the Post as saying the police were withholding the suspect’s name for now to deny him any advantage. “We don’t want to release that now,” the mayor said. “If you do, you are basically giving a tip to the person we are seeking and we do not want to give him an upper hand at all. Let him continue to believe he can hide behind the mask."

    Let him continue to believe he can hide behind the mask."

    The mayor of New York city said this about a mysterious handsome vigilante who has captured the hearts of the people by striking a blow for the powerless that has resonated deeply with society*

    Just wanted to take a moment to acknowledge that for just a few minutes, the shitty superhero movie universe manifested itself into ours.

    Whatever his reasons are, if you kill someone’s enemy you’ve struck a blow for them
