Same comment from me:

The search then grew over the weekend ,as the FBI backed the NYPD in the investigation, adding an additional $50,000 to the pot, and hundreds of tips poured in.

The McDonald's worker said they saw Mangione around 9.15am 'acting suspiciously' in the restaurant, adding that he appeared to have fraudulent documents.

Mangione was then arrested with five charges at the scene, as officers found he was in possession of fake IDs, a 'ghost' gun, silencer, clothes, and a mask matching the one that the suspected shooter was captured wearing.

I'm so tinfoil hat about it. Out of the hundreds and hundreds, if not thousands of tips this one worked? A Greyhound from New York to California is 3 days straight? 4 or 5 with rest? So in essence the man could have been anywhere in the continental US - hell, anywhere on the globe and especially those parts where it's hard to come into contact with a police department that gives a fuck. But in that McDonald's in particular a man was acting strange? And wasn't just told to fuck off? And the employee wasn't just like "get the fuck out of my store" they were like "that guy looks just like that guy with the smile!" Why the fuck would he splay out his fake IDs and tell people about it? How suspicious are you acting in McDonald's that they would search your car? What's that? You had the same clothes, mask, and gun on your person? That's even weirder!! No car? Throw your shit away!! As a matter of fact, go through the drive through and eat in the parking lot. It seems like a generational throw coupled with generational luck.

There's so much about this that's weird. Why did he still have all his shit on him? Why was he still so close? Hell, why was he just chilling at the McDonald's? Take that shit to go & eat somewhere else! .

I'm split on whether this is a patsy or parallel construction. I think it's more likely this is the guy & they just used some means they'd rather not share to find him, though I haven't ruled out him just being a patsy (his comments about the money not being his). If he dies mysteriously in jail I'll probably swing back to him being a patsy

Also this guy was living in Hawaii previously. That's a pretty fucking ideal place to lay low.

this whole thing is off, like @CyborgMarx@hexbear.net said this reeks of parallel construction

Luigi loses by not doing absolutely nothing.gif

But yeah, nothing about the official story makes any sense.

Mangione was then arrested with five charges at the scene, as officers found he was in possession of ...clothes...

Damn, they really will just nail you for anything these days...
