      He was carrying it around for absolutely no reason and for long enough to get caught with it? Bullshit, it’s manufactured evidence.

        First thought that came to mind as well, it sounds very implausible for him to be carrying a manifesto.

              I’m totally speculating, but if he’s been on the run, he may not have changed his plans on certain… conclusions.

        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.

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

              http://web.archive.org/web/20241209203920/https://www.youtube.com/@PepMangione

              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

          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.

        Or he consider himself a crusader for a cause more than a vigilante and was carrying it to get more attention to his beliefs.

          And yet instead of waiting around to get lots of attention and people *quoting things he said before cops arrived he quietly got on a bus. Doesn’t track.

        My tin foil hat theory is that he was planning out another shooting and got interrupted.
