    Gonna be honest, kid doesn't really look like the pictures

    Now, I'm gonna get alex-aware for a second

    Wouldn't it be funny if they just nabbed some guy who looked close enough and was also a scrambly-brained weirdo so they could close the case?

      He just EDC's a suppressed pistol and fake IDs for unrelated brainworm reasons.

      The cops are amazed they only have to plant the manifesto and get to side hustle all the other incriminating evidence.

        Manifesto's only two pages because that's how much they had time to write. The last paragraph is just a bunch of "lorem ipsum"

          Wait until someone is caught because their manifesto is AI generated and chatgpt has the logs of them making it.

            Or the feds have day zero access to the database yeonmi-park as all companies in the country are required to have.

            And then they swap out logs with planted or manipulated evidence just like Minority Report.

              Like I keep telling people, full-disk encryption isn't just about stopping others from reading your data, it's also about preventing falsified evidence from being planted.

        You would honestly be surprised sometimes

        Growing up in Wisconsin, my buddy had five fake id's to buy booze with

        My other buddy had a sawn-off shotgun they turned into a whip-it gun with a homemade suppressor

        I'm just saying, there are a lot of weirdos out there, wouldn't be hard to find one to lay blame on

      Extremely slim chance this is actually the guy, but I can't wait to see what he and his lawyer have to say. My guess is this feller was in NYC that morning, owns a silenced pistol and is of similar build. He looks like the photo from the back of the cab, but that guy didn't look like the same person from the shooting video.

      Very risky move for the cops if it's not the right dude, can you imagine how bad it would look for them if he brained another CEO on video?

      Seems more likely that they pulled the most similar looking guy out of their list of known weirdos.
