    I’m glad someone else is calling this out. He seemed so thoughtful and methodical previously.

    So for the guy to get busted because he eats in a public place, while a huge manhunt is ongoing, and he happens to have on his person: the gun, the fake id previously used, and a manifesto expressing his motive? It’s ridiculous! He could have tossed the gun into a body of water anywhere on his route outside NYC and it would never be found. And why reuse the same ID if you had several? Why not burn the associated IDs after they’ve been compromised?

    It doesn’t make sense to me. I’ve seen suggestions that this could have been a state hit, maybe to destabilize the country further? Would our spooks make up a lazy narrative to cover up for their spooks?

      It could be as simple as he wanted to be found, and his message brought out.

      Or it could be something wild.

      No way to know yet, but what it doesnt change is the general response from Americans - where it goes from here is the biggest unknown, IMO.

      I definitely think our spooks wouldn’t want it known that their spooks were doing assassinations in our country and getting of scot-free, but I have to believe our spooks would make up something better than this
