  Nah, that’s not him. We were hanging out that day. That’s not your guy. Sorry officers!

  He’s really out here raising the bar each day…

    Conspiracy time:

    What if it’s a duo / group and they intentionally got someone caught who will have a rock solid alibi after letting investigators waste days on him, but also getting other bits and pieces of message out the entire time?

      I think this is about as likely as other conspiracy theories: not at all.

      We’re going to find out that he’s just a guy. Which is disheartening when we imagine someone coming along and saving us and setting right all the wrongs.

      But also he’s just a guy. I’m not saying killing is the way forward, but he inspires the belief that we can change the world ourselves. We don’t just live in a world controlled by the rich or shadowy conspiracies; we live in a world where we can have an impact.

      I personally like the theory that they caught him using five eyes data, and skip the step where they write “US citizen” the transcripts

    Seems odd. Like going to all that trouble then not ditching all the evidence, unless he had other targets he was working on next.

    Wasn’t the manifesto (and the silencer) found after searching his apartment?

  Articles highlighting his career are odd. Are we expected to revile him for being a tech worker?

    As somebody active in the politicization of tech workers, I see this as a great challenge to the stale narrative that tech workers are selfish, childish, passive. Both Luigi Mangione and Aaron Bushnel are tech workers and they are enough to prove a point.

    Well. They NEED us to revile him because he’s a hero. & they really need to keep us tiny poor insects obedient

    Technicians (not limited to people working with computers) always have it hard when they work purely in support capacity. This is like draining then fir everything they’ve got and looking for an opportunity to beat them down further so they stay in their abused state.

  Fake ID’s are not unique.

  The three-page, handwritten document found on him suggested a motive, according to investigators. The pages expressed “ill will” towards corporate America, they said.

  Why does he have a random handwritten note “found” on him? What was he planning on doing with it?

  My dyslexia read his name as Luigi’s Mansion

  One thing to note is that the campaign to make him into a ‘broken’, ‘damaged’ individual is well underway in the media. There’s nothing positive about being well-adjusted to a harmful system, and being broken by a harmful system is not a personal failing.

  Is he going to be a perfectly polite, mild-mannered person in court? Maybe not. But don’t let yourself be tricked into the narrative that this discredits his reasoning, or into thinking his actions are the result of some personal failing rather than a reasonable reaction to a harmful system.

  This sounds like the family basically has given an ‘okay’ to the authorities doing whatever to him, however illegal it may be.

  Can’t say I’m surprised, my family is similar. Not as well off financially, but similar.

  Pretending like you care about the guy… how rotten can these people be.
