“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. This was fairly trivial: some elementary social engineering, basic CAD, a lot of patience. The spiral notebook, if present, has some straggling notes and To Do lists that illuminate the gist of it. My tech is pretty locked down because I work in engineering so probably not much info there. I do apologize for any strife of traumas but it had to be done. Frankly, these parasites simply had it coming. A reminder: the US has the #1 most expensive healthcare system in the world, yet we rank roughly #42 in life expectancy. United is the [indecipherable] largest company in the US by market cap, behind only Apple, Google, Walmart. It has grown and grown, but as our life expectancy? No the reality is, these [indecipherable] have simply gotten too powerful, and they continue to abuse our country for immense profit because the American public has allwed them to get away with it. Obviously the problem is more complex, but I do not have space, and frankly I do not pretend to be the most qualified person to lay out the full argument. But many have illuminated the corruption and greed (e.g.: Rosenthal, Moore), decades ago and the problems simply remain. It is not an issue of awareness at this point, but clearly power games at play. Evidently I am the first to face it with such brutal honesty.”

Post got removed in .world for not being a “news source” even though Klippenstein is definitely a very established independent journalist, so trying again here I guess.

    This whole thing smells like horse shit. You hear so make stories about murderers ditching anything they had on them at the time of the crime. Rivers and lakes get dragged, forests are swept, every dumpster is turned upside down.

    Yet, you’re going to tell me homie was 300 miles away carrying everything he had still on him from the crime AND a literal confession note? Are they sure he wasn’t waving air traffic controller sticks around on the freeway yelling, “IT WAS ME IT WAS ME”?

      Could have had another target on the list but also plans to do a full reveal if caught

        This is by far the best explanation why he still had his “materials” on him like the gun, fake ID, tons of cash, etc. He wasn’t done yet.

      At the very least it seems incongruous with leaving the state afterwards. If he was that fatalistic about being caught why didn’t he just use a normal gun and drop it afterwards while he waited for the cops? He literally made a suppressed weapon and had a complex exit plan. That doesn’t match up.

        Unless he was planning on targeting more. Then keeping the firearm might make some sense, as well as a note in case he’s caught that would explain his actions whether he’d killed 1 or 20 health insurance leeches.

            It’s a gamble.

            He could have done the math and thought if they were arresting him and going through his stuff, there was a good chance they would already have enough to hang him. While scattering the evidence would increase the odds of them finding something they could trace back to him.

            Look at it this way - where do you keep your wallet? Do you leave it somewhere until you need it, or do you keep it on your person so you know exactly where it is at all times?

              I actually leave it somewhere until I need it… He could have easily left all this at his home and dyed his hair.

      I was wondering hard too. If i had done this, i wouldnt want this to be the end of it. Its not enough, nothing will change. None would do it again in the next 100yrs. I would try to make sure I did as much as I could.

      Manifest in a time released something a week after I don’t reset the time (hence captured).guns n stuff hidden for the next job.

        Out of interest, why do you think that?

        It’s often said that school shootings are more prevalent because the media has hyped these people up to be martyrs, etching their names into history and being revered by those that agree.

        Your country is no shortage of poor, ill whackos with easy access to weapons. If this Luigi dude does end up being charged, or perhaps even go through some legal fuckery because juries side with him against the word of law, what makes you think that someone in a similar situation doesn’t look at the next CEO on the list and shoot them in the back?

        I’m actually surprised it took this long.

      Being a tech guy, I was wondering if he had a deadman’s switch set up to release something if he didn’t make a check in. That’s probably how I would go about it.

        There are stories making the rounds of a YouTube channel in his name with two videos. One was something along the lines of “if you’re setting this, I’m already captured”, the other was set to premiere but the account got removed before it was public
