“To the Feds, I’ll keep this short, because I do respect what you do for our country. To save you a lengthy investigation, I state plainly that I wasn’t working with anyone,” the document said, according to the official.

It also had a line that said, “I do apologize for any strife or traumas but it had to be done. Frankly, these parasites simply had it coming.”

That’s the one thing that makes me believe Luigi’s Mansion is the real guy. They are all like this.

exactly what a cop would write while driving out to Altoona

[-] dessalines@lemmy.ml 11 points 2 days ago

They probably keep a ton of these "manifestos" on file, and swap things in as necessary.

[-] miz@hexbear.net 9 points 2 days ago

what kind of "gamer techbro" writes a handwritten manifesto knowing that it makes it so much harder to publicize or replicate? but it makes sense if a cop is hand-copying it from ChatGPT to avoid having to provide online provenance or mock up a believable flash drive (with just this document on it?) and appropriate dates

I too love going to mcdonalds with the 3D-printed gun I did a crime with last week, a handwritten manifesto (to give to the mcdonalds cashier presumably) and a fake ID. I'm certainly the same person that meticulously planned a killing and successfully got away without a trace. /s

Reminds me of one of the main FOIA guys who runs "The Black Vault" for UFO shit being like.

"I trust the government and appreciate all their good works, I just firmly believe in the civic value of government transparency and disclosure."

Probably my favourite kind of brainworms within the sphere of parapolitics, just a fundamentally endearing viewpoint to have.

Okay I didn't buy the "planted manifesto" until now.

[-] Nakoichi@hexbear.net 19 points 2 days ago

I fuckin called it (as did a few others)

[-] AssortedBiscuits@hexbear.net 18 points 2 days ago

Some people need better media literacy. MSM will never truthfully release what's actually in the manifesto if he even had a manifesto in the first place. The closest thing to a "manifesto" are compilation of his social media. And this is all assuming Luigi isn't being set up as a patsy.

My eternally melted brain post-Epstein is making me immediately think "No way this shit is real. They just want to try to pack him up by saying he confessed to avoid dealing with a jury and the possibility that people say "Eh... 🤷‍♂️""

Why is the hashtag still calling him an assassin while simultaneously implying he’s not lmfao

[-] Hestia@hexbear.net 4 points 2 days ago

I refuse to believe someone who executed an assassination so cleanly would have such a dogshit manifesto.

I guess since he sucks it's now bad that he killed a POS ceo and demonstrated that the bourgeoisie aren't invincible.

[-] crime@hexbear.net 27 points 2 days ago

Killing a POS CEO and demonstraing that the bourgeoisie aren't invincible is good even if the person who did it sucks

its not like he can undead the CEO

[-] 30_to_50_Feral_PAWGs@hexbear.net 51 points 3 days ago

If he could, would that be based or cringe? He's an Ivy League guy, so his family probably has access to one of those good grimoires that let you raise wights instead of simple zombies, so on the one hand, he could get up to all kinds of CEO-on-CEO shenanigans, but on the other hand, that would also make him a wight supremacist.

I mean, I’d like a primary source. I don’t trust AmeriKKKan “news” orgs to do anything but bootlick the cops, breathlessly reprint their press releases, and join in the attempts to quell unrest or class consciousness after events like this one.

I’m still hoping for more radicalization and adventurism even if this guy is a libertarian-approaching and is also actually the culprit. I still got excited when McConnell’s sister-in-law ate shit in one of Elmo’s bazinga cars.

[-] bdonvr@thelemmy.club 24 points 3 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

Most Americans are bootlickers, he doesn't need to be the ideologically perfect specimen to say he did damn good in one regard.

Shit's bigger than him anyway. Look at the reaction. Look at the conversation that's starting.

Whatever his other tech-bro views are - I haven't seen a single miss in regards to how ghoulish the private healthcare system is and what needs to be done to fix it. That's what we should be looking at. That's what he did. When a politician has a shit take it's bad because they have power over things. This is just a young man, the only power he had he used in a good way. Unless he starts soapboxing about some other shit now that he could get some attention I really don't care.

Easy: death of the author. If this is the guy his work is already out there for people to interpret & draw their own conclusions from, his own intentions/views don't really matter.

The assassination of a health insurance CEO was met with widespread popular support. We saw people with signs & banners with the message the shooter left at the scene. It's still too early to say but we may get copycats following in their footsteps.

The shooters own views/reasons matter less than what people take away from this, and it seems like the takeaway is plenty of Americans (and others) support killing health insurance executives.

I mean its a Setup anyway , State can not leave such a Act without presenting somebody that fits .. so they proably wrote that selfloving stuff in there as well .. Btw how nice that he had so much compromat on him , without it , that would be a really hard case to make in Court.

[-] Nakoichi@hexbear.net 3 points 2 days ago

Yeah at this point I am 99% sure this Luigi guy is not the actual shooter. People need to stop taking the feds and NYPD at their word like what the fuck people.

[-] AssortedBiscuits@hexbear.net 8 points 2 days ago

Assuming he isn't just a patsy, he should've released the manifesto. Now we're going to have MSM make up some bullshit that was never there. And whatever manifesto that eventually gets released will almost certainly be completely made up by the feds.
