He also had a three-page handwritten manifesto that included grievances with the US healthcare system, a document that spoke to the suspect's "motivation and mindset", officials said.

Publish it then.

Deny that you know or even saw them. Defend them if they do get caught, through protest, fundraising, bail, etc. Depose those who put them in jail if they are sentenced.

[–] db2@lemmy.world 193 points 1 week ago (6 children)

He was carrying it around for absolutely no reason and for long enough to get caught with it? Bullshit, it's manufactured evidence.

[–] Hadriscus@lemm.ee 58 points 1 week ago (2 children)

First thought that came to mind as well, it sounds very implausible for him to be carrying a manifesto.

[–] GBU_28@lemm.ee 40 points 1 week ago (4 children)

Unless he planned on not surviving

[–] db2@lemmy.world 27 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Not surviving what, the bus ride?

Another thought I had is what if he was still writing it?

[–] Lost_My_Mind@lemmy.world 7 points 1 week ago (1 children)
[–] GBU_28@lemm.ee 6 points 1 week ago

I'm totally speculating, but if he's been on the run, he may not have changed his plans on certain... conclusions.

Well, a YouTube account with the shooters name posted a video today titled "truth" which was basically saying that there were videos scheduled to be made public in the near future (presumably on the same account), which would speak to his motivations and mind set or something of the sort.

Instead of telling you about it, I would prefer to just link the video, but according to YouTube, the account associated with the YouTube channel has been removed, so you can believe me or not on this. the video was only up for about 4 hours and when I saw it, maybe 30 minutes before it was removed from YouTube, it had 10's of thousands of views. I know those counters aren't exactly real time, so it's not unreasonable to think that upwards of 100k people saw it, maybe more, and unless one of them saved it, it's likely that nobody else will see it.

Well well well,

Once, not if, but once it leaks, who ordered this, and who executed said order of this information being suppressed, you'll have more heads in line for the guillotine.

¡Congrats!

That list is getting long.

That may be so, but the claim in the context that the YouTube handle doesn’t match his Twitter handle is wrong

http://web.archive.org/web/20241209203920/https://www.youtube.com/@PepMangione

I’m not sure about the claim that the account was created yesterday. This article claims it was created in January, but I’m not sure if that can be verified now that the account has been removed

Lol, Twitter?! Seriously? I'm not even going to click that shit. I know it's not real.

[–] Resonosity@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Pretty sure that YT account was faked, or mis-related to Mangione

[–] MystikIncarnate@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 week ago

It will be impossible to ever know whether or was or not.

This thing about a guy at Macdonald's recognizing his eyes also sounds bit strange tbh

[–] AFKBRBChocolate@lemmy.world 9 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Or he consider himself a crusader for a cause more than a vigilante and was carrying it to get more attention to his beliefs.

[–] db2@lemmy.world 7 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

And yet instead of waiting around to get lots of attention and people *quoting things he said before cops arrived he quietly got on a bus. Doesn't track.

*fucking worthless autocorrect

[–] Monument@lemmy.sdf.org 5 points 1 week ago

My tin foil hat theory is that he was planning out another shooting and got interrupted.

[–] granolabar@kbin.melroy.org 71 points 1 week ago

They need dozens of psy PhD types to review it to asses risks and prep narratives to discredit him.

Get fucked, dude is a hero.

[–] punkwalrus@lemmy.world 70 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Give them time to write it up! They police are having problems with the shared Google Doc permissions.

[–] 800XL@lemmy.world 29 points 1 week ago (1 children)

and the reading, don't forget the reading

[–] Lost_My_Mind@lemmy.world 24 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Historically speaking, pigs can't read.

We wouldn’t want to arouse ill-will toward health insurers /s

Hey you got your account back!!

[–] user224@lemmy.sdf.org 10 points 1 week ago (3 children)

Are you referring to the 2FA problem I had? I brute-forced it with a simple Bash script utilizing Lemmy API. Our instance doesn't seem to have rate-limiting.

that is configurable by your admin. while it was useful for you, you should probably raise that problem to your admin.
