    I’m not usually a conspiracy theorist, but so many things seem off. Dude’s got an engineering degree, pulled off a cold-blooded assassination in broad daylight and evaded capture for almost a week… And then it turns out he’s an absolute idiot who keeps around a “ghost gun” in public, keeps around the same fake ID he’d used to book into the NYC hostel, and keeps a manifesto on his person?

    Part of me thinks this is some rando that’s gonna have to take the fall so that the rest of America believes that the police is all-powerful and can find any criminal. Hell, part of me thinks this perfect suspect is all made up.

      While I loathe conspiracy theories…

      I expected one of the following:

      • He would never be found. (unlikely)
      • He would be ‘found’ and ‘take his own life’ before ending up in custody
      • He would be ‘found’ but would have fled the country and disappeared.
      • He would be found and be a professional who had lost a loved one to UHC

      What happened is

      • very conflicting to the clear and concise actions we saw in NYC
      • very convenient to what they’re looking for, open and shut.
      • The pictures they provided weren’t consistent with the footage of the killing

      He ditched the bike, had and ditched a backpack, had been there for a week, didn’t think to change clothes? Went through the trouble to get an untraceable gun, didn’t think to ditch the gun?

      It reeks of bs.

      My current head canon is that it IS him, but some very illegal government spying was used to find him. Claim an anonymous tip lead to him and then grab him. Then they conveniently find him in possession of an orgy of evidence a la Minority Report.

        That sounds completely plausible. Three letter agencies have ridiculous amounts of intel. They for sure know which building and apartment I’m commenting from and I’m a foreigner on a pseudonymous website. Plus there’s the however-many eyes agreement for when you need to get intel but can’t spy on your own citizens.

        Honestly I’m reminded of that time when Russians found that guy with 3 copies of The Sims when the security services were obviously told to find him with 3 sim cards so he’d look extra guilty

        if this is the case they’ll probably kill him before it goes to trial.
