I’ve read his online last blog entry and that’s what convinced me.
I think they caught him using illegal means, and I think they fabricated evidence. The political pressure to catch him was insane and none of the evidence makes any sense.
If he was as smart as I assume he is they probably couldn’t get parallel construction of evidence to add up, so they had to go further. Or they couldn’t disclose the illegal methods used to find and track him.
The McDonald’s employee noticing him from the masked photos also is bizarre.
Ultimately the government needs to prove he did it, and the blog post alone is circumstantial.
But the picture of the shooter from the scene looks nothing like him besides being a white dude.
It's ridiculous that you would run with some document leaked to a freelance journalist to the degree you overlook feds have provided zero evidence this guy was even in the state at the time of the murder. The handling of this trial has been disgusting, on the side of the public as well as the prosecution. It's downright shameful.
Specifically because Brian Thompson was a member of The Big Club.

I was never big on George Carlin the comedian. He was pretty average at being funny in my opinion. George Carlin the philosopher is pretty fucking great.
I kind of agree with his, with the caveat that his language-oriented bits could be extremely funny. My favorite is Airline Announcements.
He was the epitome of the phrase "you can say anything as long as you make 'em laugh." What he liked to talk about most was sacrilegious and not inherently funny. So for that, average is pretty good.
I agree; it took him a while to find his niche.
I mean the perp walk that ERIC adams, was nothing more than to get pardon from trump.
Literally the first time a mcdicks employee gave a single flying fuck about anything was this? Sus.
???
can you link the blog post? i’ll look for it but i wanna see.
edit: ahh it’s the manifesto post, gotcha. just read it. never had yet. i support him even more now.
Well I'm glad the document is convincing enough that you don't need any evidence this guy was in the same state as the murder at the time.
i’m operating under the assumption he’s guilty, yes. but i would not be surprised if he wasn’t. i do think he killed the CEO at this moment. it’s what i lean towards.
curious though, do you have information to suggest warranted skepticism? (skepticism always being warranted)
Of course, but it would be better if you tried to break down why you think this is the guy first. Not being glib. Why do you think it's him? What information led you to that conclusion?
i’ll be honest: i have not done any research on what there is on him or what there isn’t. not as of yet. this is all a gut reaction and how i “feel” regarding what ive consumed about him and the killing. it is not something i would feel confident asserting outside of a general conversation. i truly don’t know if he did it or not.
what it boils down to is Luigi speaks in a similar manner “his writing” demonstrates, like i can hear the same voice styles. that doesn’t mean much if you’re setting stuff up though, could be easy to match.
Well, that's kind of like asking me to present both sides of it, which I can do, but not on the bus, I'll circle back. In the meantime though, consider that is why most people believe he did it, along with leaked documents the public should not even had. Would that be at the forefront if there were solid evidence against him?
was this blog post inaccessible to the public? i’m unsure what has leaked.
theres so much evidence, arrest fuckups, he wouldnt have a fair trial even if they want to convict him.
Circumstantial != Inadmissible
You must be really enjoying the new status quo of documents related to these trials being leaked to manipulate public opinion.
What led your to believe this? I just corrected a legal misconception that had nothing to do with my opinion or enjoyment ?Circumstantial evidence, if it can be used to prove guilt, is admissable in court. In fact, even DNA is circumstancial evidence that's permitted in court.
Yeah and most of the DNA tests are fake but ppl can't pay to prove it
