Makes a ghost gun. Keeps it, doesn't dispose of it. Walks around in public with said gun on his person, as well as a "manifesto." Gets "caught" because of his fake id that a McDonald's cashier clocked.
Yeah. He totally did it.
Also, a guy with really severe back pain is totally going to ride a Citibike on NYC potholed streets.
Right? Thinking Luigi is guilty is basically the irl version of "Aurora Borealis, at this time of year, at this time of day, in this part of the country, localized entirely within your kitchen!?"
McDonald's checks ID? What?
No. They don't. See how the official "story" holds up to the most minor of examination?
Now that you bring it up, they probably should make you sign some sort of medical consent form before you consume their awful food.
The story has changed a couple times, but I thought it was always about an employee or a customer calling it in because they recognized him, or he was acting shady. Then the cops come and he gives them a fake ID that matches the one of the hostel person.
They originally said they saw the fake id on the table, alongside the manifesto. Idk about you, but i can totally make out the text of an id on a table using peripheral vision as i pass.
You have a source on that? Because that is NOT how I remember things being reported.
Tbf, i do not. That's how i, personally, remember it originally being reported.
And that is totally what I do when I eat at McDonalds: I whip out my manifesto and my fake ID and put it on the table.
What you don't take incriminating evidence of your worst felonies to your local Burger Shoppe and just start showing that shit off?
I figured we all did that.
Yesiree! When you're the subject of the largest current manhunt in the country, make sure you take all the damning evidence and play with it.
In the game, we call that a conviction starter package. Everything a prosecutor needs to do his or her job, all in one backpack with nation wide weeks long narrative shaping operation executed via all media formats.
Everything is normal, it makes sense 🤡
History is filled with weirder stories
Governments try very hard to manipulate history and often succeed. This appears to have been a very bad manipulation job though.
Reminds me of when some Russian FSB guys were hunting for "terrorists" and they supposedly found some memory "sims" in a hotel room, and in the picture the heavy armed FSB proudly posted it was some boxed copies of the video game called "the sims". And they were claiming that was legitimate proof of terrorism. Not a frame up job at all, clearly.

Your mom lied to you, and so did the government.
You can’t have a reasonable debate with someone when their position is “everything anyone says is a lie, except what I say”
I can't? Well, not with that attitude, maybe.
