    Unless his lawyer has stated he wrote the manifesto, we can assume it was planted.

    Innocent until proven guilty

      Innocent until proven guilty in a court of law, doesn’t track for public opinion, it’s the whole opinion part, but yeah we should give him some benefit of the doubt, he did us a solid.

      The manifesto was out there, but not entirely incongruent with his … was it a substack? I read it off archive.org and it was quite old

      We don’t know that the manifestio was his, but I’d say he had enough other stuff out there to say his views wained toward strange.

        That really just makes him an easy fall guy.

        Like, affluent enough to have the free time, visibly disillusioned with the system, on pain management from a back injury, similar hoodie/ backpack style of dress day to day.

        Like, this is a big enough problem that there is an incentive to pick a random person of interest out of a hat and fabricate some quick evidence to implicate. Was the gun found in the manifesto bag the same gun that shot the guy?

          i’d like to say we’ll see how it goes, but honestly I don’t hold much hope for a fair trial.
