I'm legitimately unconvinced that they got the right guy. There are issues with all of the evidence against him, and I fully believe that the federal government would, in the absence of an actual suspect, frame the first convenient loner. Like there's probably a list of "questionable" individuals in a file at the FBI that they can pull up when they need a scapegoat. "How about this Luigi guy? He's in the general vicinity, and he doesn't have an alibi. Grab the gun and one of those manifestos from the pile, we gotta go pick him up."
It's also possible he's guilty, but the prosecution still has to follow the rule of law. If he cannot get a fair trial, he must go free. That's the only way we can be certain that the government won't throw us in prison without a fair trial.
Yeah, I’m 100% in the “they fabricated a fuckload of evidence because they couldn’t find anything solid” mindset. You’re telling me the dude who managed to evade a nationwide manhunt was caught with the untraceable murder weapon and a printed copy of his manifesto on his person?
No, he would have had time to disassemble and scatter the 3D printed gun. A little bit in this dumpster over here, a little bit in a public trash can over there, etc… The dude had plenty of time to do so, and would have if he was as smart as he seemed. Hell, he even had a decoy backpack full of Monopoly money for the cops to find.
The cops disappeared with his backpack for a few minutes, then miraculously found all of the evidence they needed when they brought it back?
Even if it does go all the way to trial, (which it shouldn’t, because he can’t possibly get a fair trial), I have no doubt that he’ll get railroaded into a conviction.
and he ample time fleeing to PENNSYLVANIA too. somehow one instance, of MCD employee reporting him, it was actually an OLD fart that alert the employee.
To me, it doesnt matter either way what I think about his guilt. Its on the prosecution to prove it, and until then he is not guilty. As it should be.
The only reason I'm not sure they framed him is the wealthy family; why didn't they pick some poor fucker?
he was also right wing and wealthy, im not surprised they arnt labeling him as such to get public opinion turned against him, since media does want to offen the republican base.
You just pick someone that has some unstable ramblings you can use as the main base of your evidence that you didn't fabricate. It's not like his family is fuck you wealthy.
I’ve read his online last blog entry and that’s what convinced me.
I think they caught him using illegal means, and I think they fabricated evidence. The political pressure to catch him was insane and none of the evidence makes any sense.
If he was as smart as I assume he is they probably couldn’t get parallel construction of evidence to add up, so they had to go further. Or they couldn’t disclose the illegal methods used to find and track him.
The McDonald’s employee noticing him from the masked photos also is bizarre.
Ultimately the government needs to prove he did it, and the blog post alone is circumstantial.
Literally the first time a mcdicks employee gave a single flying fuck about anything was this? Sus.
Specifically because Brian Thompson was a member of The Big Club.

I was never big on George Carlin the comedian. He was pretty average at being funny in my opinion. George Carlin the philosopher is pretty fucking great.
I agree; it took him a while to find his niche.
I mean the perp walk that ERIC adams, was nothing more than to get pardon from trump.
???
can you link the blog post? i’ll look for it but i wanna see.
edit: ahh it’s the manifesto post, gotcha. just read it. never had yet. i support him even more now.
Circumstantial != Inadmissible
