The man, Luigi Mangione, 26, was arrested and arraigned in Altoona, Pa., after being spotted at a McDonald’s. A criminal complaint said that he began shaking when an officer asked him if he had been to New York recently, and that his backpack held a 3D-printed gun and a silencer.
Wild. Caught with the fake ID used to check in to the hostel; the gun (ballistics likely to confirm if same one used in hit); and walking around in public while a multi-state manhunt is underway. The balls on this dude, lmao.
I thought he would have fled the USA by now using a ticket bought in advance. Guess he wasn’t as smart as we thought. Or just got complacent.
Alternative theory: he wanted to get caught, and put on a display in front of the courts and get a message out.
What a wild timeline this is. Dude sacrificed himself to life in prison to potentially inspire a generation of change.
A crazy twist would be Biden (shit even Trump) pardoning this guy not out of wrongful persecution but rather to deplatform him from giving the health industry a bad rap and possibly inspiring other murders.

If they’re going to deplatform him, it’ll likely be by smear campaign or “suicide” in jail at this point. There’s a zero percent chance they would release someone who attacked the upper class. Politicians wouldn’t want to upset the people they actually represent.
I agree to an extent, but not to the level of street dumb where you don’t dispose of fake IDs and the gun you used to commit a crime for days after committing it. Not only do you not dispose of it, you carry them around on your person as you walk into an extremely public space while knowing that the police are after you and know of your fake id.

He has an engineering degree from an ivy league, so alt theory seems very plausible.

Maybe, but in my experience, book smart tends to = street stupid.

Maybe he thought it would be handled exactly like every other murder.
