His social media fits the bill. He reviewed the book his casing referenced, he had a history of spinal surgeries the X-Rays of which were his banner. He praised one author for saying peaceful protest were ineffective.

He was caught with a Fake ID, a real firearm, and $10,000 cash.

Chances are his plan was to fade away, start a new life, but in his sleep deprived state wandered into a McDonalds near or in a Mall.

Wasn’t there a whole hubbub cause he said it wasn’t his money?

  Yeah but whose money could it possibly be? The local cops of Altoona wouldn’t even have time to prepare it to plant it.
  
  Do we think a random unnamed McDonalds enjoyer had his bag of $10,000 taken away?
  
  Luigi probably just wants it dismissed as evidence.

If he didn’t want to get caught, he would have gotten rid of the gun.

  In a place where nobody would ever look for it, then yeah, but if he didn’t have that chance then it would be stupid to leave a trail of evidence. Idk about the specifics of it’s manufacturing (it was a 3D printed gun) but it might be pretty incriminating if they found it and compared it to files on his computer or matching filaments.

    He crossed several states iirc, that’s several hours of driving. Couldn’t he have thrown the gun into the wilderness or some lake mid road?? In European terns that’s like comitting a crime in Spain and getting caught in Germany because you didn’t dispose of the gun across two countries.
    
    Weird.

    He took a bus. Bus drivers don’t appreciate you throwing things out the window, and other passengers might notice if a guy dressed like the CEO killer tosses a weapon.
