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.
It’s still here for now

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

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.
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.
Pretty sure that YT account was faked, or mis-related to Mangione
It will be impossible to ever know whether or was or not.
