VSO did a decent job summarizing the issues with the pistol and demonstrated it.  Probably recorded before the gun pictures surfaced.

So many folks have been dissecting his evasion... And the mix of concentration on detail and... squirrel!
 
I probably wouldn't have run the silencer. New York? That'd ensure that everyone in that block or two would vanish for a bit...
 
The hostel and a fake id? Cool, fairly anonymous, etc...
 
Actually talking to anyone/anywhere beyond "I want coffee" - moronic
 
And NEVER take the damn covid mask off. And wear fake glasses.
 
The bike? Assuming it was either stolen or a burner card was used. Same for the hostel if they wouldn't take cash...)
 
Bus ticket? Cash. Bus was a good idea.
 
Could have likely hunkered, and waited out the bolo...
 
That gun and can should have been in pieces in random sewers or dumpsters or pickups within five minutes of the event. Gloves go in some nasty trash can. And he should have worn gloves whenever around the gun and while loading the magazines.
 
Manifesto? Did he WANT to get caught?

For a supposedly bright guy (dummies don't get to be valedictorian at elite prep schools) he didn't exhibit much common sense. Five days later, he still had the same clothes and the same fake ID he used at the hostel -- and the gun and suppressor. Now THAT's world-class stupid. Whether or not he should have dumped any or all of it in NYC before even unassing the area of operations, somewhere between NYC and Altoona, PA, he certainly should have dumped the gun, the suppressor, the backpack, any clothing he wore while in NYC, and ALL phony IDs.

From Maryland and attended a $40K/yr high school? Definitely limousine liberal upbringing.
From what I have read, that is the typical type that goes for revolutionary groups and communism.

Are you being sarcastic or do you really believe it's the same guy? I haven't heard anything as laughably phony since the covid era.

There is a group of folks on the internet that do not believe the guy arrested in PA was the guy that pulled the trigger in NYC.  The theory is that this Luigi guy is a patsy and the evidence was planted on him for some reason.

It sounds zahc may be part of this group.

You mean it's really a triple double super duper extra false flag because Trump actually killed the guy?

I try not to leave any possibilities closed off these days, but this is likely a case of stupidity being the truth rather than conspiracy. 

That said, I was a bit shocked that he was caught red handed with all the evidence including a manifesto.  :facepalm:   About the only thing that still gives me pause is I don't think he looks like that initial photo.  I could be wrong on that.

Why is it we always seem to assume that a criminal doing some high-profile crime is somehow a Bloefeld-level super criminal mastermind?

It's always a case of "It can't be him! He's a false flag because NO criminal who could pull off something like this would ever be so stupid!"

Article doesn't say but I wonder if he somehow connected and blamed his condition on the CEO or decided he was guilty by association

Quote
Brian Thompson shooting suspect Luigi Mangione suffered a back injury so severe he was unable to have sex, a former roommate said.

RJ Martin lived with the murder defendant for six months at a Hawaii co-living space and told The New York Times about 26 year-old Mangione's secret agony.

'He knew that dating and being physically intimate with his back condition wasn’t possible,' Mr Martin told The Times.

Saw one where she described all the different way she wanted to have sex with him. If I had to guess she's 300lb with blue hair. [barf]

Well, at least one whackadoodle lefty still has her hair and is still willing to have sex with men.

This kind of parallels what I've been thinking. Maybe he read crime novels and watched TV to plan his crime, and just didn't think things through to the end. Or he's SO SMART he assumed everyone who'd be looking for him was too stupid to catch someone as brilliant as he knew he was.

Maybe - it being New York - he didn't expect that much of a manhunt; after all, NYC doesn't expend anywhere near that effort trying to to catch the perps in their everyday ordinary murders. Or maybe he wanted to get caught for some bizarre reason.

Being caught, days later, WITH the murder weapon, false IDs, etc. . . . .  :facepalm:

Yes, I could see how that might aggravate a back injury.

Calls to boycott the MsD's
Quote
The Pennsylvania McDonald's where Luigi Mangione was arrested on Monday was 'review bombed' by trolls after staff blew his cover and summoned the police.

The fast food joint in Altoona was hit by a wave of online backlash after an employee notified authorities about Mangione, leading to his arrest for killing UnitedHealthcare executive Brian Thompson.

The negative comments aimed at McDonald's were the latest in 'review bombing,' where an establishment is hit with a litany of bad reviews based on a political view or an occurrence unrelated to its actual business.

About 100 negative and one-star reviews showed up after Mangione, 26, was captured at the restaurant with most criticizing the restaurant and its staff.

And apparently his mother had reported him missing in Nov

Quote
Luigi Mangione's mother Kathleen Mangione reported him missing to San Francisco police on November 18, just over two weeks before Brian Thompson's murder.

A police source revealed the report to the San Francisco Standard, although it is unclear why Kathleen contacted cops in the City by the Bay.

Mangione grew up in Baltimore, where his parents continue to live, although public records show he has multiple relatives in San Francisco.

The 26 year-old engineer lived in Honolulu until shortly before Brian Thompson's murder and is accused of traveling to New York City late last month before shooting Thompson, 50, dead on December 4.

Mangione was arrested at a McDonald's in Altoona, Pennsylvania, on Monday morning.

He is being held in custody at the nearby State Correctional Institution Huntingtdon while awaiting extradition back to New York, where he faces a murder charge.

Mangione's family released a statement in the wake of his arrest saying they are 'devastated' by their son's alleged behavior and sending their condolences to Brian Thompson's family.

This guy is DEFINITELY a false-flag patsy!

Everyone knows that a criminal mastermind capable of carrying off this kind of crime definitely doesn't have family, and decidedly not a Mother!

They are lab hatched and raised!

Even Simple Jack (or Forrest Gump if you prefer) would have realized that maybe he should dump all the evidence and not hold on to it as a keep-sake.  Bloefeld intelect not required. 

... But, yes, arrogance is a fatal flaw in many men so that is as good an explanation as any. 


Also, the fact that he was writing or had written a manifesto seems to imply he was planning to make that public in some way.  Maybe he had some plan to give it to someone with the evidence at some point.

Yup, *expletive deleted*bag is another liberal rich kid, just like the ones who block the freeway and spray paint art. Except, of course, he murders people. He's certainly trying to get his "made for TV" movie quotes in though.

Of course, there's another explanation...

He had a deeply seated personal grudge.

He was writing a manifesto.

He wasn't getting rid of the evidence.

He wasn't changing his appearance or going into deep hiding.

Sounds to me like he WANTED to be caught. He expected to be caught. He just decided to make the process interesting, to see how much additional drama he could gin up. Because that drama would make people even more interested in him and his "cause."

He's not a false flag operation, he's not a criminal mastermind, he not any of the many things people are saying he is.

He's a slowly evolved zealot who decided to strike a blow for the little people against the wrongs perpetrated by the evil big corporations and their handlers.
