Nah, that’s not him. We were hanging out that day. That’s not your guy. Sorry officers!
He’s really out here raising the bar each day…
“Oh, you work in tech? Have you shot any CEOs recently?”
“No…”

Tldw: based on everything we’ve seen of this dude so far, the details don’t really add up. It seems really unlikely that after everything he would get nabbed looking suspicious at a McDonald’s, with a written manifesto on his person. Could be wrong, it’s just speculation. But personally I’ll be expecting more news on this, unless nothing happens for like a week.
Conspiracy time:
What if it’s a duo / group and they intentionally got someone caught who will have a rock solid alibi after letting investigators waste days on him, but also getting other bits and pieces of message out the entire time?
Seems odd. Like going to all that trouble then not ditching all the evidence, unless he had other targets he was working on next.
Wasn’t the manifesto (and the silencer) found after searching his apartment?
Articles highlighting his career are odd. Are we expected to revile him for being a tech worker?
As somebody active in the politicization of tech workers, I see this as a great challenge to the stale narrative that tech workers are selfish, childish, passive. Both Luigi Mangione and Aaron Bushnel are tech workers and they are enough to prove a point.
Technicians (not limited to people working with computers) always have it hard when they work purely in support capacity. This is like draining then fir everything they’ve got and looking for an opportunity to beat them down further so they stay in their abused state.
My dyslexia read his name as Luigi’s Mansion
One thing to note is that the campaign to make him into a ‘broken’, ‘damaged’ individual is well underway in the media. There’s nothing positive about being well-adjusted to a harmful system, and being broken by a harmful system is not a personal failing.
Is he going to be a perfectly polite, mild-mannered person in court? Maybe not. But don’t let yourself be tricked into the narrative that this discredits his reasoning, or into thinking his actions are the result of some personal failing rather than a reasonable reaction to a harmful system.
This sounds like the family basically has given an ‘okay’ to the authorities doing whatever to him, however illegal it may be.
Can’t say I’m surprised, my family is similar. Not as well off financially, but similar.
Pretending like you care about the guy… how rotten can these people be.
