My tinfoil hat isn't tight enough for me to buy the conspiracy theory narrative. You really have to stretch to say he's being framed.
We have video of him in the vicinity wearing the same clothing as the shooter.
He was caught with the gun and a manifesto.
He's repeated those statements personally.
https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/luigi-mangiones-alleged-diary-entries-released-new-court-filing-rcna211132
"Instead of carrying out a bombing, prosecutors allege, Mangione wrote in an entry in October that someone should "wack the CEO at the annual parasitic bean-counter convention."
"It's targeted, precise, and doesn't risk innocents. Most importantly, the point is self-evident," the diary entry reads, according to the filing. "The point is made in the news headline 'Insurance CEO killed at annual investors conference.'""
It's absolutely clear he's the shooter. Denying that is rejecting reality.
Now, if you want to get into if he was justified, that's a different discussion. My expectation is they will get him on the murder charge due to the extensive proof of pre-meditation.
The terrorism charge is bullshit though and everyone knows it. The public wasn't terrorized by what he did, if anything a large number of people were cheering him.
