They got him

1. If they guy didn’t get rid of his gun, that really changes my opinion of him. I suspected he was a reasonably intelligent individual in that he hit his mark and got out of the city without being caught. That takes planning thus my assumption was he was at least of average intellect.

   It was incredibly stupid to keep the gun though. WTF man, you throw that into the river on the way out of the city.

2. >The man who was detained at McDonald’s showed the police the same fake New Jersey identification that the man believed to be the gunman presented when he checked into a hostel on the Upper West Side of Manhattan on Nov. 24, a senior law enforcement official said.

   People on other threads are talking about him having a similar gun to the one they believe was used, but this is the way more damning part. If it’s the same fake ID, very high odds this is either him or an accomplice.

3. Oh man, this is sad.

   The gun didn’t necessarily mean anything, but the fake ID means it’s propably Joever.

   Unless multiples of same fake IDs were sold. But that’s reaching.

   There is also possibly of staged arrest to have a scapegoat, considering how much damning evidence that anyone with reason should have gotten rid of is, gun, ID, and manifesto, but I guess that’s a bit conspiracy theorist talk.

4. This is even worse for nervous executives everywhere. This guy was kind of a dumbass, an Everyday Guy. He’s anyone.

   Ok, he’s “anyone” who’s never day dreamed at ALL about operational security. So, it’s worse. He’s any dumbass with a half-ass plan.

5. Carrying a Manifesto is pretty damning. Unusual for killer that wants to be caught to run. I am thinking this might be the case of an impersonator wanting to ride the fame of the real killer

6. After all the pictures of the guy showing up, I figured he was an amateur by how he wasn’t trying to limit his exposure. The guy keeping the fake ID and the gun just further proves that.

7. After reading the story I only see 2 options. Whoever this was wanted to be cought. I mean he walked into a MacDonalds with the gun with a suppressor, with a fake id and a manifesto. It’s the shooter, or someone who wants the attention the shooter has.

8. I would never advocate for violence. But if I would, I would certainly recommend throwing away the weapon. And not carrying a wholeass manifest about why you hate your target.

9. I called it from the start that this was going to happen, the companies will want to have a field day with this guy to make sure that this doesn’t happen again.

   I just hope that this is the actual shooter, and not one of the many people who made the mistake of being dressed similarly on the same day.

10. > McDonald’s in Altoona, Pa., after an employee recognized him and called the authorities 

    I wonder McD employees in Altoona Pa have heard some sayings about snitches and stitches and ditches

11. Turned in by a McDonald’s employee. You couldn’t make it up, it’s too perfect. 

    Worker at a poverty wage job with a cutthroat company calls the cops because a) he’s internalized so much propaganda he’s on the side of capital here (lol don’t @ me about the supposed greater wrong of a single murder) or, b) he’s so broke, thanks to capital, he needed that reward money bad. Either way. 

    Wonder if the informant knew they don’t get the money until after conviction and even then, only if the FBI deem them deserving.

12. If this is the correct guy what are the odds the gun he had on him (if he really did have one) was for another shooting. He planned to take out another CEO?

13. His prep game was so good! If this is him, he got REALLY sloppy after his pulled off the hit. 

    I really hope this is the wrong guy. The act would be so much more effective if he stayed faceless.

14. Why are so many people on “team murderer” on this one?
    Healthcare CEOs suck but that’s a reflection of much of the industry as well as corporate US policy as opposed to one of the many individuals responsible for the death and destitution that the US healthcare system can bring. Cheering on the murder of one of these CEOs to the point of championing the murderer is just a weird double-standard. i.e. its bad when CEO indirectly kills via his organisation rejecting claims but its okay to directly murder him? I can appreciate the irony but championing the murderer just feels so ugly.

15. Well, “they got” *someone* — not enough of the evidence is public (and I’m not advocating that it should be) for we, the armchair public, to know with certainty if this is the actual shooter or mistaken identity. If this is the shooter, this thoroughly debunks the “professional hit man” hypothesis.

    It will be interesting to see if he can be convicted in a jury trial.
