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.
The pictures of Mangione don't even match the other pictures they've put out of the suspect. Dude's brow line is completely different.
They are deff running serious fake news op on pinning it on this guy...
But it still doesn't make sense to me. Do all of that just to be picked at fastslop after cashier snitches on you?
I still think it's him. To me it looked similar.
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.
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.
Traced to Pennsylvania? You got a source for that? This is not the cops I've ever met.
You're not shocked someone saw someone and immediately recognized him as the hooded figure on the TV? "Oh yeah, I recognize those eyebrows, I'm going to call the police immediately," doesn't sound unusual to you?
The rest of y'all really not have a few manifestos just laying around?
Who handwrites an essay before going out to kill someone? That just feels hard to believe.
The kind of person who writes a message on the bullet casing (and fully expects to get caught).
Yeah beyond reasonable id agree lol
You might say that there is reasonable doubt it's the same guy
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.
Good luck getting the reward money, ya fucking rat!
that handle is really printing now huh
"Sell out your own, cattle!
Maybe we'll throw you a milkbone!"
The cops responded to a call saying "Yeah I think he's here," believed it and arrived in force within the time a person spends at a MacDonald (was the suspect playing in the ball pit?) and arrested him, finding the incriminating gun and silencer he had no reason to keep, along with a "manifesto"" which is a rarity among sane people but shooters have to have one according to cops?
Sounds reasonable.
Theory I heard is that he wanted to be arrested, because he has a plan, maybe using court as a stage for making a public statement.
And that he may even tell the mcDonald worker to rat him out and collect the money.
Probably far from truth, but it would be cool if all that was true.
I'm not normally one for conspiracy theories, but there's a massive motivation for the US government to find anyone who looks about right and is disgruntled and then frame them, or plant evidence on someone they found through an illegal means. The US surveillance state uses parallel construction all the time to hide the actual (often illegal) ways they find someone.
Plus, if you don't have a suspect, the message to all the proles out there is that you can kill CEOs and get away with it. The internet just showed that the only reason the working class aren't doing The Purge on CEOs is fear of consequences. That's a critical threat to the ruling class, and they will 100% frame, pay to take the fall or blackmail someone into it rather than not convict somebody.
It doesn't line up at all that he brought a handwritten copy of his manifesto plus his fake IDs and his recently used murder weapon to a Macdonalds. Especially after being careful about escaping the city, and the amount of practice he had to smoothly clear the jams when he shot Thompson shows this was premeditated.
Unless he takes the jury stand and uses it to verbally blast the ruling class and try to incite more violence, this ain't the shooter IMO.
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.
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.
It has some 1 stars before all of this too.
The employee that called it in been all over the news today.
If the internet ever finds that McDonald’s employee, I predict they will not be happy about it.
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.
He recognized that guy from that picture they populated? I don't think so.
A Masters in Engineering from University of Pennsylvania.
A well pedigreed man from an affluent Maryland background who just happens to have more more distaste for corporate parasites than mean wage slave.
This is a man of great constitution.
When fake news going to try to smear him... it will be hard. He is technically what America shills peak existence. So when this dude turns on the regime... why?
I hope he properly secured all his devices so they don't try to put CSAM on him. There is nothing they can attack him with besides he denied claim to life to a parasite which clearly will not resonate.
Got a link that doesn't want me to sign in or up or out or whatever the hell else?
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
