Luigi Manigone.
the legend
GoFundMe already shut down his fundraiser. Probably their CEO is nervous.
I hope some way to donate to his defense fund opens up.
I wish I could take his consequences so he could remain free.
I'm a coward that takes the beatings and whinges on the internet, he is a man who won't accept defeat, even under entrenched oligarch occupation.
I'm not usually a conspiracy theorist, but so many things seem off. Dude's got an engineering degree, pulled off a cold-blooded assassination in broad daylight and evaded capture for almost a week... And then it turns out he's an absolute idiot who keeps around a "ghost gun" in public, keeps around the same fake ID he'd used to book into the NYC hostel, and keeps a manifesto on his person?
Part of me thinks this is some rando that's gonna have to take the fall so that the rest of America believes that the police is all-powerful and can find any criminal. Hell, part of me thinks this perfect suspect is all made up.
While I loathe conspiracy theories...
I expected one of the following:
What happened is
He ditched the bike, had and ditched a backpack, had been there for a week, didn't think to change clothes? Went through the trouble to get an untraceable gun, didn't think to ditch the gun?
That sounds completely plausible. Three letter agencies have ridiculous amounts of intel. They for sure know which building and apartment I'm commenting from and I'm a foreigner on a pseudonymous website. Plus there's the however-many eyes agreement for when you need to get intel but can't spy on your own citizens.
Honestly I'm reminded of that time when Russians found that guy with 3 copies of The Sims when the security services were obviously told to find him with 3 sim cards so he'd look extra guilty
if this is the case they'll probably kill him before it goes to trial.
You mean he'll hang himself in his cell?
I can't imagine it's particularly difficult to shoot someone, it's not some work of genius.
It's pretty surprising he still had the weapon on him though.
It's easy enough to shoot someone, but that was well planned out beforehand, executed in a way to cause maximum media stir while getting away clean...
And then several days later dude keeps a manifesto AND a ghost gun on him while outside...
