    Okay so what’s the play here? They fake a CEO death to nab a “terrorist” before he actually does something, plant a bunch of crap on him and now they’re confused why people love him?

    Russian plant to destroy the western economy?

    Maybe he’s just not as good at this as we thought, and got busted before he could do round 2?

    But yes… who the fuck carries a manifesto? My only guess is someone who expected to get caught.

      The CEO death was definitely not faked or planned. It’s possible this guy is a patsy so they can wrap the case up. He was apparently already in custody for a firearms offense when they flagged him as the killer. It does seem awfully convenient just how much evidence they’re claiming to have tying him to the murder. I suppose we’ll know for sure if another health insurance executive gets what they have coming to them following this arrest.

        I lived in Altoona for a few years. Altoona cops, and Johnstown Cops are nepotistic and corrupt AF. I could totally see them planting shit on the guy, especially since they have him on suicide watch. Suicide watch is essentially even more torturous solitary confinement.

          If you ever go to jail, NEVER say you will harm yourself or others. You will still be in jail, but now you’re very, very uncomfortable

        He just didn’t dump the gun. Probably because it took a lot of work to make it himself. But it seems like a lot of planning on behalf of the government to put all those photos of him out there before actually finding him. Like, if they busted him because of someone finding him “suspicious” then yeah that’s weird. But those security images are of him in the area.

        I’m not so much arguing as just not yet convinced there is enough to be evidence of a conspiracy. He’s just not a professional hitman and either made mistakes or just didn’t care after he succeeded.
