As much as I want to believe all the conspiracies... the arrest happened in Pennsylvania... and since it was at a food place after a tip, there was no time to bring in pre-screened cops. And the odds that the local law enforcement would not leak that they planted evidence and such in this high profile case are about nil. Those local cops don't like the snutty feds anyway, so they have plenty of motivation to leak any shenanigans.
The cope is pretty crazy. After we free Luigi, Trump's going straight to jail, too, yesiree.
If it was a setup and they chose their guy in advance, then there was time to bring in pre-screened cops. In fact, there was time to interview a small time cop, brief him on the promise of a bright career ahead of him if he keeps this one little thing on the down low, and make sure he was the closet beat cop when their chosen mark went out.
Have you seen the incompetence of our government? Not buying that they could pull that off.
Well they haven't pulled it off yet. Their story is already full of holes. The feds expect us to believe he perfectly planned the murder with a 3D printed disposable gun, and was then caught two states away with that same gun? It doesn't make any sense.
Most of the holes we see are us expecting him to make smart moves.
We know he was at the hostel
We know he was at the bus station
You know he had a fake New Jersey ID because he used that to check in at the hostel.
Motive, If it exists, should come out pretty clearly in discovery. If that actually was his journal he was carrying with him that he wrote in , the points in there will be easy to prove or disprove. From the sound of the journal he was planning on turning himself in or getting caught.
I'll fully admit what we saw in the video and the actions right after seem to be very coherent compared to what were hearing now. But the discrepancies aren't so big they can't be explained if he was just kind of winging it.
The differences in the coat in the backpack could be the differences between a daytime camera and a camera in night mode. In a night shot things reflect ir light differently, that one shot definitely looks like it doesn't have pockets in the front. But we are looking at potato cam footage.
They'll also have proper records of him coming in with that fake ID.
I guess I'm just saying the difference is between them planting evidence and* him coming in with the intent to pull it off and likely get caught should be stark enough to come out in Discovery if he even has a half decent lawyer. Also what the f*** was up with that Joe pesci arringement I attorney
Human actions rarely make sense. Let's be honest. A completely rational person doesn't murder a rich perdon in broad daylight in the middle of a major city and expect to get away with it. A truly smart person would make it look like an accident. And really, to through his lufe away just to extinguish another isn't rational. He had no way of knowing people would see him as a hero. So he couldn't have had any ration belief that it would change anything. And it still may not.
Thus to say thier story is full of holes because a rational person wouldn't do X, is in itself, full of holes. He may not be what we wish he was, but the message is still clear. People are pissed off, and want change. Let's no get distracted with conspiracy theories. It only reduces the chances of any meaningful change, and those are already low enough... but worth trying for.
Who phoned in the tip? Was it "anonymous"? How long did it take police to get there?
It eas a fast food worker. And he was still eating. So not long enough to fly in stooges from out of state.
