I'd sincerely recommend everyone to read his manifesto and think about it a little bit.

The thing that gets me is the McDonald's employees tip. Whenever something like this happens the police are flooded with false information and bad tips, this case would have been even moreso due to the politics involved. What made them decide this random person in another state was credible? What about this tip in particular made them say "this information should be followed up on."

Nothing ever happens and everything is a conspiracy

Well, everybody does stupid things, and he may have wanted to get caught...

But the entire story is incredibly weird. It looks like those official explanations that say "well, he shot himself on the head and 20 minutes later shot his wife; that's absolutely the case!"

I think it's much more likely that he either wanted to be caught, or it could just be that the guy that did something ill advised (killing someone in public while making very little effort to hide his face besides a cloth mask that he pulled down on several occasions) didn't really have much in the way of a contingency plan.

somehow the cops just know from grainy 140p footage

was miraculously not shattered into pieces, which happens to all other 3d printed guns.

the very well-built gun has a particular reload quirk that was seen in the surveillance footage

the doubt about not disposing the gun is a fair point. i suppose he either wanted to seed doubt to the prosecution (as someone else claimed below), or just forgot to plan this part

would naturally spend a long period of time sitting in a public place

fair point, but i think he simply settled into routine. this is corroborated by him being "visibly shaken" and not−well-prepared to someone asking him about the murder

including the additional time it would take for the cops to respond and then arrive

he obviously did not know someone tipped him off

a random McDonald s worker

slight correction: a fellow customer told the worker. if the concern here is that he would hide his face to the worker, well he may have dropped his guard after going back to his seat
