What's this about? I'm trying to think of why it would ever be necessary to show an ID at McDonald's... so we might have a real super sleuth of an employee on our hands here! Were they really out there eyeing every table just in case a patron decided to lay out their fake IDs and forged documents like they were about to start vlogging? What foresight and dedication! It would be such a tragedy for the bravest and goodest hero who saved the day not to get their due reward, instead to fade away into history like they were never there in the first place...
Same comment from me:
I'm so tinfoil hat about it. Out of the hundreds and hundreds, if not thousands of tips this one worked? A Greyhound from New York to California is 3 days straight? 4 or 5 with rest? So in essence the man could have been anywhere in the continental US - hell, anywhere on the globe and especially those parts where it's hard to come into contact with a police department that gives a fuck. But in that McDonald's in particular a man was acting strange? And wasn't just told to fuck off? And the employee wasn't just like "get the fuck out of my store" they were like "that guy looks just like that guy with the smile!" Why the fuck would he splay out his fake IDs and tell people about it? How suspicious are you acting in McDonald's that they would search your car? What's that? You had the same clothes, mask, and gun on your person? That's even weirder!! No car? Throw your shit away!! As a matter of fact, go through the drive through and eat in the parking lot. It seems like a generational throw coupled with generational luck.
There's so much about this that's weird. Why did he still have all his shit on him? Why was he still so close? Hell, why was he just chilling at the McDonald's? Take that shit to go & eat somewhere else! .
I'm split on whether this is a patsy or parallel construction. I think it's more likely this is the guy & they just used some means they'd rather not share to find him, though I haven't ruled out him just being a patsy (his comments about the money not being his). If he dies mysteriously in jail I'll probably swing back to him being a patsy
Also this guy was living in Hawaii previously. That's a pretty fucking ideal place to lay low.
this whole thing is off, like @CyborgMarx@hexbear.net said this reeks of parallel construction
Luigi loses by not doing absolutely nothing.gif
But yeah, nothing about the official story makes any sense.
Damn, they really will just nail you for anything these days...
