Looking well off or having photography gear is a good way to avoid attention from security and whatnot. It's likely they had travel expenses to get there too.

There's plenty to criticize, but normal standards kinda go out the window when its someone is willing to get in trouble for something like this. Less than $10k is an amount a lower middle class person can get together with credit cards or whatever.

Killing is bad. But I think it's kinda impresive this stuff doesn't happen more often with the fraud our legal system hasn't been good at handling lately.... Truly proof of the lawfulness of most people, and an example of why Q warned people not to get baited into taking justice into the own hands while things are being fixed over the course of years..

Edit: Just to clarify I think its sad the guy died, it means many bad things as well as a lost human life. If he did anything wrong (which I think is likely the case), I would want him personally and the company facing our legal system in a very serious way.
