I'm legitimately unconvinced that they got the right guy. There are issues with all of the evidence against him, and I fully believe that the federal government would, in the absence of an actual suspect, frame the first convenient loner. Like there's probably a list of "questionable" individuals in a file at the FBI that they can pull up when they need a scapegoat. "How about this Luigi guy? He's in the general vicinity, and he doesn't have an alibi. Grab the gun and one of those manifestos from the pile, we gotta go pick him up."
It's also possible he's guilty, but the prosecution still has to follow the rule of law. If he cannot get a fair trial, he must go free. That's the only way we can be certain that the government won't throw us in prison without a fair trial.
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.
???
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)
theres so much evidence, arrest fuckups, he wouldnt have a fair trial even if they want to convict him.
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.
