That wasn't a 3D printed silencer in the video.

If it was, that material is way stronger than anything I've worked with.

They don't want him in front of a jury.

Regardless if it's him or not. They cannot afford him to get acquitted.

But they can't martyr him. That will be a death sentence to the US.

This isn't going to end well for anyone. This guy has shown a much darker picture of the US to us that we all know too well.

What kind of hell would that bring.

That's an exciting prospect isn't it.

The exact same style of a shitty resolution camera catching the upper frame of a guy's face while their only suspect sits in jail with evidence constructed in parallel?

The only thing I can imagine is that they would call that killer a copycat and that they have the right one.

"Do you realize how much the wealthy are losing right now?"

Clearly, not nearly enough.

If he wanted to get caught, why would he say the evidence was planted?

So I'm looking up how many elephants they would need, and so far it's a lot.

Yeah. Technically you aren't screwed unless you are in an orbit that crosses the event horizon.

Although I wonder if the accretion disk produces enough drag that an orbit could eventually fall into the black hole.

Also, time gets funky when you get closer and closer to the black hole.

But in any case the behavior is the same. It's just a lot bigger.

I believe Luigi Mangione was radicalized by pain. The shooters who follow him will all have their own reasons for what they do, their own journeys to that violent end. But ultimately, they’ll do what they’ll do because Luigi proved it’s what gets attention.

So even the author of the article, who clearly points out it was a calculated, planned, and well thought out plan, which harmed no one else but Luigi's target, comes to the the conclusion that this is about attention? Pain?

No. He wasn't radicalized by pain. The attention he got was because he saw injustice that was inflicted on him and a lot of others and decided to do something about it.

Radicalization would imply he joined a terrorist group to prepare for this. The "group" he joined was unorganized, scattered group of people who suffer from chronic pain and have no choice but to live that way. This guy wasn't dumb, he also cut off his family, had no children. He knew whatever he did, he wanted it to be entirely concentrated on someone who had a hand in the suffering of so many.

Wish I could be on whatever jury they cook up, because it looks like he didn't do it to me.

Nope. He still didn't do it. I don't care what links I have shoved in my face. This guy didn't do it.

He's a software guy. The difference between his take home pay which covers the cost of living, some hobbies, and a car, and a guy worth $50,000,000 is about $49,800,000.
