why?
Police found so much evidence that he'd have to be idiotic to still have on him. Gun, suppressor, and the fake ID he used to check into the hotel.
on average, people who do murders don't tend to be geniuses
Edit: to be clear, most moral acts don’t require great genius. sacrificing yourself to undermine a system that murders countless innocent people is a heroic act independent of how skilled you are at serial homicide. a person who is exceptionally skilled at killing people and getting away with it is much more likely to be a bad person, since the roles that enable you to get the most practice at it are things like imperial cop, imperial soldier, or CEO of a private health insurance company
On average, murderers don't go to Ivy League schools either. But this guy Luigi did. Why would he be so careless?
Edit: also graduated from an engineering program. Not exactly the easy route through most schools. Engineers are famously lacking in common sense and real-world experience, though.
Ivy League means nothing about intelligence - or rather it just means he met the bar to attend post-secondary. Ivy League speaks more to one's socio-economic position.
Agree. But I say that's a much better argument against this guy's motive (and likelyhood of guilt) than making any kind intelligence argument.
an Ivy is a measure of family wealth, not individual intelligence. I know US TV has conditioned everyone to believe that they could totally get away with murder if they wanted to, but there’s a reason most people don’t test that belief. even the smartest person isn’t at their best when acting on impulsive decisions under pressure
