Fairly well-executed plan? Dude was eating in public in the same jacket he wore that day.
Not to mention going without the mask at Starbucks and keeping the manifesto and weapon.
He wasn't trying to seriously evade capture. But I think he was close to having a chance.
And yet the only reason he was caught as soon as he was, was because a McDonald's employee wanted $50,000 (and didn't even end up getting the money anyway).
I didn't say it was a flawless plan or even great, just that he did evade authorities for days despite the insane amount of resources NYPD poured into finding him.
He was 100% getting caught regardless of who reported seeing him. The only chance he had was ditching everything and running forever.
If he made it overseas, it would have been much harder.
I think he would have been much better off going immediately to a lawyer, and go into hiding for a while. Her could have afforded to Doordash some Mickey D's.
It's very strange. He had a ghost gun and all those IDs, and then went to get a McChicken.
I think he got cold feet when he realized he might have to stay on the run for the rest of his life.
He just needed to make it to a country that doesn’t extradite. I find it surprising he had to know how to find this guy at the right place and time, successfully shoot him despite the gun not firing right, and get away from the crime in surveillance dystopia NYC. He succeeded in all of that and then got caught with all the evidence right on him in a McDs in bumblefuck PA? It makes no sense. Unless he wanted to get caught? Murder clouded his judgement after? He’s not the guy?
I'm gonna put on my tinfoil hat and say "he's not the guy". My guess is they found someone who LOOKS like him, and want to fasttrack the case to calm the investor class down. Look at the big "therapy" call Kathy Hochul just put together with a bunch of NY CEOs - they're terrified. 9/11 proved to them they aren't invulnerable to random acts of violence, and now this proves to them they're not even UNTOUCHABLE by someone committed. They're asking for state-level protections, National Guard-style stuff IIRC, round-the-clock guards at their houses and workplaces. This is conjuring up the early 1900s again, when ACTUAL anarchists and socialists simply shot the owner of the factory in the head at his home, or at his job, or tried to bomb them on their way to get lunch.
Yeah they realized they’re not invincible. I’m 50/50 about him being the guy. Part of the story checks out (his backstory) and part doesn’t (such a clean kill and getaway and then get caught in bumblefuck pa at a McDs?)
