Also he had the same fake ID he used to check into the hostel? What the heck is this guy doing? While it seemed likely he would be caught eventually, disposing of the ID, his guns, the manifesto, and staying in his basement for a while would be by far the best course of action, not going to a McDonalds and eating it inside
But I can’t help but find the whole thing really suspicious.
He was America’s Most On TV Human for the last week. I’m not shocked someone recognized him. And its not like he was picked off a bus in Manhattan at random. The guy was traced all the way to Pennsylvania.
He probably could have gotten away if he’d laid low for another week or two. But this absolutely sounds like a guy with some serious mental health issues who was not thinking ten steps ahead as everyone in the fandom wanted to believe. He was just some angry 20-year-old doing a more newsworthy version of a school shooting, not The Leftist Jackal plotting elaborate Mission Impossible style assassinations.
Who handwrites an essay before going out to kill someone?
The same kind of person who signs their bullet casings.
Carrying all of the evidence related to the crime several days later is very out of character with the careful preparation and execution of the crime itself, and a little too convenient for an open/shut case. The ruling class absolutely needs to crush someone very publicly right now out of fear of copycats.
It’s the handwritten bit that I find hardest to believe, though. The guy studied AI at university and was involved in Game Design classes. He was a tech guy. Nobody who’s that intimate with computers would choose to convey their message across three hand-written pages. It just seems really odd.

Seems like a guy with a background in tech and a significant concern over his privacy would be exactly the kind of person to keep his heretical most views on paper rather than online. The guy had basically dropped off the web for months prior to the assassination.
I prefer hand written notes for all my tickets and tasks I need to do…physically writing it helps memory retention way better then reading stuff on a screen.
I feel like he could be on TV but the majority of the public puts that in the back of their mind and not something they are looking out for. I really think it’s this guy and he had a message from his now deleted YouTube videos that were supposed to be released after he was caught. We will never know unless he shares more in court what is going on. The only lead I have seen is his review of Teds book, and how much it spoke of someone fed up with the system and making a point that “those who don’t stand up to commit violence are cowards or the accused” or among those lines.
It was a McDonald’s customer who turned him in.(Edit: the article I read has been updated)But I can’t help but find the whole thing really suspicious. In his possession they found a gun, silencer, and three-page hand written manifesto.

I personally think he wanted to be caught on purpose.

You don’t need the majority to recognize him. Your just need a random distribution over a wide area.
“Everything to support the claim is made up” is going to be the rallying cry of an increasingly fringe group over time
The rest of y’all really not have a few manifestos just laying around?
