FBI Director Kash Patel continues to come under fire as one Reddit user appears to have done a better job of getting leads on the Brown University shooter than the entire FBI.
After being unable to find the shooter who killed two students and wounded nine at Brown University, as well as the suspect in the killing of an MIT professor at his home on Monday, local police were directed to a post in the r/Providence subreddit, an embarrassing indictment of their investigative skills.
The poster, known as “John”, used his encounter with the suspect – 48-year-old Claudio Manuel Nieves Valiente – to “blow the case wide open”. According to To Rhode Island Attorney General Peter F. Neronha.
John to publish on Reddit Wednesday night. “When he backed away he re-locked the car. I found that strange, so when he went around the block I approached the car and that’s when I saw the Florida plates. He was parked in the section between the RIHS Society gate and the corner of Cook and George Streets.”
John later told police that he met Nieves Valiente in the bathroom about two hours before the first shots were heard. He said he and Nieves Valiente made eye contact, and that the suspect was not dressed for the Rhode Island cold. He asked him why he was circling the block, and Nieves Valiente replied: “Why are you bothering me?” Then John left him alone. Nieves Valiente was later found dead in a storage unit in New Hampshire with a gunshot wound.
So Kash Patel’s FBI couldn’t find someone who walked into one of the country’s most prestigious universities in the middle of the day, and the main reason the local police were able to find him was because there was a witness who posted about him on Reddit. They found him dead, leaving no room for further questioning or new information. This is very unfortunate for an FBI director who has talked such a big game all year.
“Funny that a Reddit user is breaking down the Brown/MIT case in front of Kash Patel’s FBI and showing how incompetent they are,” Big X Account to publish.
“While Kash Patel makes a podcast appearance with his girlfriend, the campus guard and Reddit users do his thing,” He said Another, referring to one of the other witnesses.
Patel celebrated the arrest of a person of interest too soon, only to let him go free, and then had the FBI arrest him. wandering Until local police found the suspect days later because the Internet helped him — reminiscent of the failed manhunt for Charlie Kirk’s alleged shooter. This suspect was only arrested because his father turned him in.
Constantly failing at your job while catching up on podcasts with your girlfriend, generally getting angry and hostile at Congress and the media, and coming across as a belligerent tough guy is on par with Patel and the FBI. Lots of bark, no bite. Just a few lucky breaks.
