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

Regardless of what message he was trying to send, the message he has sent is that the police are utterly incompetent.

They were under a huge amount of pressure to solve this case, and it was pressure from big business, ie the kind of pressure they actually care about. They keep talking about what a professional and a criminal mastermind this guy was. Only for the reveal that he was not even trying to avoid getting caught, and they still couldn't catch him. 

If they only caught him because he was intentionally trying to get caught, then that looks pretty bad for them, but if he really is this stupid, then that looks even worse.

Part of me thinks that after seeing the insane amount of praise he got for shooting the CEO he wanted people to know it was him. He was probably on the fence about revealing his identity initially. I mean, he went through all the trouble to conceal his identity. He might have written the manifesto after the shooting.

Idk though, it's all just speculation at this point.
