Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.
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-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--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. --

Gonna be honest, kid doesn't really look like the pictures
Now, I'm gonna get
for a second
Wouldn't it be funny if they just nabbed some guy who looked close enough and was also a scrambly-brained weirdo so they could close the case?
He just EDC's a suppressed pistol and fake IDs for unrelated brainworm reasons.
The cops are amazed they only have to plant the manifesto and get to side hustle all the other incriminating evidence.
Manifesto's only two pages because that's how much they had time to write. The last paragraph is just a bunch of "lorem ipsum"
Wait until someone is caught because their manifesto is AI generated and chatgpt has the logs of them making it.
Or the feds have day zero access to the database
as all companies in the country are required to have.
And then they swap out logs with planted or manipulated evidence just like Minority Report.

Like I keep telling people, full-disk encryption isn't just about stopping others from reading your data, it's also about preventing falsified evidence from being planted.
You would honestly be surprised sometimes
Growing up in Wisconsin, my buddy had five fake id's to buy booze with
My other buddy had a sawn-off shotgun they turned into a whip-it gun with a homemade suppressor
I'm just saying, there are a lot of weirdos out there, wouldn't be hard to find one to lay blame on
He's just really into his "I am Spartacus" bit
Extremely slim chance this is actually the guy, but I can't wait to see what he and his lawyer have to say. My guess is this feller was in NYC that morning, owns a silenced pistol and is of similar build. He looks like the photo from the back of the cab, but that guy didn't look like the same person from the shooting video.
Very risky move for the cops if it's not the right dude, can you imagine how bad it would look for them if he brained another CEO on video?
Seems more likely that they pulled the most similar looking guy out of their list of known weirdos.
