Nah, that’s not him. We were hanging out that day. That’s not your guy. Sorry officers!

He’s really out here raising the bar each day…

Another perspective I’ve been hearing: https://www.instagram.com/reel/DDX0EU9I3CQ/?igsh=MjA0bWxwM2dhM2hh

Tldw: based on everything we’ve seen of this dude so far, the details don’t really add up. It seems really unlikely that after everything he would get nabbed looking suspicious at a McDonald’s, with a written manifesto on his person. Could be wrong, it’s just speculation. But personally I’ll be expecting more news on this, unless nothing happens for like a week.

Conspiracy time:

What if it’s a duo / group and they intentionally got someone caught who will have a rock solid alibi after letting investigators waste days on him, but also getting other bits and pieces of message out the entire time?

I think this is about as likely as other conspiracy theories: not at all.

We’re going to find out that he’s just a guy. Which is disheartening when we imagine someone coming along and saving us and setting right all the wrongs.

But also he’s just a guy. I’m not saying killing is the way forward, but he inspires the belief that we can change the world ourselves. We don’t just live in a world controlled by the rich or shadowy conspiracies; we live in a world where we can have an impact.

Yeah, I know, but hoping is more fun than not.

We will see if this will have in impact at all, or can you name something that has (or will likely) changed for the better because if this?

I personally like the theory that they caught him using five eyes data, and skip the step where they write “US citizen” in the transcripts

No need to skip anything; they aren’t themselves allowed to spy on their own citizens, but if any of the other eyes does, then they can share the info. It’s been like that from the beginning.

Seems odd. Like going to all that trouble then not ditching all the evidence, unless he had other targets he was working on next.

Wasn’t the manifesto (and the silencer) found after searching his apartment?
