I posted this elsewhere, but this is one of the few times I buy the conspiracy theory, not the official story.
Dude pulls off a targeted assassination, gets away clean, trolls the cops with a bag of monopoly money, gets out of the state, stays essentially hidden for almost a week... And then gets clocked by some poor maccas employee and gets taken in with a manifesto AND a gun on his person?
It's the nazi flag and 3 copies of The Sims all over again, except this time the folks doing it are slightly more competent and actually pulled it off.
This case is so important, so high profile, that they just need to arrest someone ASAP. Anyone. And that person is not in for a good time.
There's a simple explanation: He wanted to keep on the move, and he wanted to be able to take down other targets.
smh that doesn't fit the narrative
His face jas been plastered everywhere for the past week. My YouTube home page literally had 3-4 thumbnails of his face on every reload. Lemmy....X....news sites...massive exposure.
So yah...some random worker notices his face looks kind of similar while he's dining at his favorite spot and bam. Don't forget there was a $10k bounty, plenty of fast food workers might be itching to collect on something like that.
He probably figured once he was questioned about anything that they'd eventually get him so he prepared for that scenario. Or maybe this wasn't even his last stop on his triple-D tour so he was still geared up.
We'll see him in court. If he's innocent then he make a pretty good argument and then we can decide whether to raise eyebrows but this all just seems Q-anon levels of silly right now.
$60k. $10k from NYPD and $50k from the FBI.
$50k from the FBI?! You gotta be shitting me... If this happened to anyone of us the FBI wouldn't give a single fuck.
