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.
Who handwrites an essay before going out to kill someone? That just feels hard to believe.
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.
He wasn’t traced there though? They just found a guy that conveniently had all that shit on him like come on
He wasn’t traced there though?
He was traced through the use of his fake ID and through security camera footage along the route he traveled. There were also plenty of sightings (some less reliable than others) that were coming into the police nationally. The tip off in Altoona was almost certainly not the only one made. He was observed on a cab security camera. He was sighted at a bus depot. And there were a few other data points police alluded to that weren’t made public. That rapidly narrowed down where he could have gone to next.
Not enough people wearing a mask in New York or Pennsylvania that it didn’t make him stand out. That, and he was tall, and the upper part of his face was all over the news for days straight.
That he had all his shit on him was unfortunate. But even if he’d dumped it, if it was on an observed route it would have just been one more data point for police to follow. Guy fought the law and the law won.
I think he wanted to be caught.
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.
Nobody who’s that intimate with computers would choose to convey their message across three hand-written pages.
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.
The rest of y’all really not have a few manifestos just laying around?

The kind of person who writes a message on the bullet casing (and fully expects to get caught).
From AP News:
In a news release, police say officers made contact with the man who was then arrested on unrelated charges
Same old shit, just come up with something like “he took 31 minutes in the dining area so we got out the batons”
Article in question. AP news has like 5 articles all about this single investigation.
The ‘unrelated charges’ were possessing fake IDs and an unregistered firearm.
But this opens a whole new can of worms. You’re telling me he was smart enough to evade capture for a week, but wasn’t smart enough to ditch the ghost gun he had used in the murder?
It smells like turned off body cams and planted evidence.
Gotcha, thanks for the info!
Good luck getting the reward money, ya fucking rat!
"Sell out your own, cattle!
Maybe we’ll throw you a milkbone!"
If the internet ever finds that McDonald’s employee, I predict they will not be happy about it.
AFAIK it was a customer, not an employee. If it had been the latter, that location would quickly get a serious image problem.
Already does I believe, new one star reviews saying it has a rat problem.
Well, that is one way to put it.
The employee that called it in been all over the news today.
Only to have the reward money claim rejected because" without his tip they would have caught him anyway" or any other bullshit reason, just like insurance companies love to do. Oh the irony.
Not ironic at all. It’s by design.
Can’t go through life just assuming every single person you meet is going to be a Team Player.
Says something that he made a half a week and across state lines without anyone ratting on him sooner.
I think they mean we’ve been propagandized to undermine, oh I’m sorry, “compete with,” one another instead of having any social solidarity.
We’d be a threat to the owners as they hurt us for profit if we all understood the reality that they’re our common enemy.
For Profit Media: left right, old young, black white, gay straight, beat eachother bloody, poories!
…just don’t look up.
Context? Or is it just a random AF tweet?
Imagine if Luigi also made the move to hand the bounty to someone who needs it.
They definitely won’t try to delay paying it or denying the tip led to a conviction. Not at all. Nope
