Not particularly convinced they've got the right guy. They've got a guy and whether it's THE guy or not, this guy was dumb as hell. Doesn't feel consistent with someone who's evaded arrest for almost a week with next to no leads. Could be a copycat, could be a dude intentionally being a decoy, could be a frame job or maayyyybe it really is the dude and he's being a lot luckier and less clever than we thought. I don't know, but this seems inconsistently sloppy.

Rules:
-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --
-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --
-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --
-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today/ . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --
-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--
-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--
-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --
-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --
"Working off of a tip, police stopped a person traveling by bus and recovered a suppressor – a device that muffles the sound of a firearm – and a number of false IDs, one official added."
Erghhhhhhhh so dumb luck ffs
a suppressor
Okay, but the B&T VP9 which they thought was the pistol used has an integrated silencer and doesn't need a suppressor, right? There is still hope, right?
New type of guy just dropped: Guy who loves AI and is willing to kill anyone who uses it in a detrimental way because they're giving it a bad name.
Pretty sure that’s a wrap
Also pretty sure this is where we return to where we were before this happened
As Harlan Ellison once said: "I'm a crank, what do you want from me?".
Why the fuck would you still have the gun with a suppressor a week after the doing it? Could you not run off to South America for a few weeks? You escaped on a bus and they can't identify you.
Authorities also recovered a “fraudulent New Jersey ID matching the ID our suspect used to check into his New York City hostel before the shooting,”
DOG GET RID OF THE FAKE ID WHAT ARE YOU DOING?
There's no way.
In addition to the weapon and fake ID found on the suspect, Tisch said, police recovered “clothing, including a mask, consistent with those worn by our wanted individual.”
HE CHANGED CLOTHES. HE WOULDN'T BE UNAWARE
What did he forget to fucking shower in the past week so he had gunpowder residue on him still?
His name is Luigi!? If this is the guy then we all need to do some self Crit on our collective anti Italian biases
Man fuck, can't have nothing in this absolute hellhole country.
his reading list didn't contain delay deny defend, did it??
Copycat caught before he could make his move?
it fits a lot of the inconsistencies here. if it is I think the police will go hard to pin it on him anyway
he'd better be able to prove he wasn't in Manhattan

Edit 1
Manifesto was 3 pages and handwritten.
That manifesto needs to be released and made into a site tagline
Death to fucking America
The bourgeois press made this a national story and did all the consent-manufacturing possible to villainize this hero
