    it doesn't mean much that the smile looks the same, the snitch called specifically because he thought he looked the same. if anything it makes it less likely, because it was really unlikely for those smile pictures to be of the right guy, he wouldn't have been walking around wearing the same outfit but slightly different the next day

    also he's posting about investment opportunities...?

    i really get the feeling this was going to be a copycat with a different ideology

      god i hope so. i mean there's not one post about healthcare and nothing indicating this guy is anything but a full on capitalist bootlicker "free thinker" christian anti-DEI incel

      kind of guy to do a mass shooting or "targeted" killings of women not this

        part of my reasoning is he didn't say the manifesto was specifically about the healthcare industry, but "some ill will toward corporate america". that could mean a million different things, like it could be anti-DEI even. the shooter specifically linked back to a book that was specifically about the healthcare industry.

          the DDD bullets really make me think someone with this guys background is unlikely. Also, if he was an anti-DEI guy, why would he kill an old white CEO?

          yep it's going to be woke CCP agents are destroying our pure American capitalism and healthcare industry and he killed the CEO because the AI he deployed sucked and dude thinks he could have written a better one or some shit

      I dunno, according to this article (https://www.axios.com/2024/12/09/luigi-mangione-unitedhealthcare-ceo-shooting-altoona) the fake ID they found on him was the same one used in the New York hotel they saw the shooter in.

      It was extremely dumb to not get rid of the incriminating evidence.

          Many people have been saying that, but you won't hear from people like me who have been reserving conclusions.

      the copycat idea fits a lot of inconsistencies here, but the resemblance is pretty strong. I don't know what to think rn

        It's too strong a coincidence that the picture of the smiling suspect who everyone though was not the real killer also happens to be a copycat. Maybe the cops circulated that picture after finding a guy to pin this on but I dunno, just seems too elaborate for the NYPD.

        The delay, deny, depose engravings don't seem like they'd be written by someone with this dude's ideology but shrug-outta-hecks

          Maybe the tech bro who shot a CEO in broad daylight is just kind of a weird guy

          well I'd imagine they immediately churned the image they had through every facial recognition program they could across their whole database of ID photographs etc, so finding a similar-looking patsy is not the biggest hurdle

            And then plant this guy in a western Pen McDonalds with a suppressor and multiple IDs?

              You say that as if you think the pigs wouldn't or couldn't fabricate that evidence. Only thing I believe for certain at this point is they found him at McD's in Altoona

              This doesn't necessarily strike me as a weird load out here in America. I am thinking there area few guys like that in every city. Just vibin

          I think that picture went out too soon for it to be a situation where the detectives had already concluded the case was unsolvable and they need to go find a warm body to throw in prison to save face.
