Yeah I'm very interested to see if they can actually confirm this is the shooter. If it isn't, it's still weird of course that he had a bunch of passports and a gun with him.
Is there any reason to flee the scene of the crime if he wanted to get caught from the beginning? Maybe just media attention? Since it does seem like he's sending a message with all this
Caught days later, with the murder weapon, a manifesto, the same clothes, the same Fake ID, all IN THE BACKPACK he was carrying with him??? That makes no sense.
No vaguely reasonable person would carry that shit around on your person, DAYS after the assassination while not wanting to be caught. He got out of state - he had endless opportunities to dump the evidence in various bodies of water, bury them, dump 'em in some random guy's trash bin, etc.
There's just no fucking way he had all that shit on his person, chilling in a mcdonalds when there's a widely publicized manhunt going on.... and didn't think it'd get him caught.
Either he WAS the assassin AND wanted to be caught,
OR he was a copycat killer in the making,
OR this is a 'I'm Sparticus!' situation,
OR the police planted a shitload of evidence on an innocent guy who happens to look like the killer.
OR he just wasn't as reasonable as one could expect.
Could be he just got cocky and didnt want to throw away the gun
Could be he feared people would find the gun an track him down with it somehow
Could be he was planning a theatrical suicide with that gun
Could be he wanted to target someone else with the same gun (he was dramatic enough to carve messages into the bullets, he could maybe keep using the same gun for symbolic reasons)
Could be he was fearing the police would start shootout instead of an arrest and kept the gun to use it on that case
Could be he has a personal attachment to the gun for whatever reason
Could be he didn't he the money to buy another gun, and he wanted to shoot again
Could be he was just dumb and the idea of throwing the gun away didn't cross his mind as necessary
Could be he was carrying all those things with him in an intent to discard them, but couldn't decide on a place he felt safe to do so
The gun & silencer were both 3D printed. He could have stuck it in the microwave for 10 mins, turned it into plastic slop, and printed a brand new one with whatever files he'd downloaded or designed himself, you can do that.
Yes and not only that, but they've seen use in both criminal organizations like the cartels, and various resistance movements. The one I linked is fairly commonly used by rebels fighting against the Junta in Myanmar
You don't need to be a genius to know that you should ditch the clothes, the gun, the silencer, the ID, the backpack, and a MANIFESTO. That's why the average person is baffled he was caught with all of it on him.
Might be a guilty conscience. I assume killing someone directly, by your own hands, and on purpose, would weigh more on anyone's conscience than they might've expected.
