The person of interest […] is in anti-capitalist Ivy League grad […]
Mangione also subscribed to anti-capitalist and climate-change causes […]
High school tuition at the all-boys school is nearly $40,000 a year.
Bourgeois class traitors are welcome here.
- Bourgeois class traitors are welcome here.
  With open arms.
  
  But the snitch that ratted on him is not.
- What do you call a Bourgeois class traitor?
  A proletariat
- Engels lived off his parents' money
  
  And funded Marx’s work.
- He was also valedictorian according to another article!
  Edit: This article too— my bad
- Perhaps he had a scholarship for being good at sports or was very bright.
- and climate-change causes
  must be a terrorist if he believes in science /s
I don't understand how this guy planned the assassination, the escape from NYC and then 3days later he sitll has all the evidence linking him to the crime on his person, and he is still on a Greyhound bus instead of chilling at home, or camping in the woods or something, anything else.
- He also apparently gave cops the same fake ID he used at the hostel, despite having four fake IDs. My only guess is the initial escape was to keep the story alive for a week, then he either expected to be caught eventually or intentionally allowed himself to be caught so he could revitalize it and possibly start making public statements.
  
  A better way to do that would be to take some pictures with his phone of the dead CEO before taking off on his bike, and then posting them as verification photos on a 4chan thread or something. But yea this is all just speculation. It's just odd.
  
  Yeah couple of options here:
  he's the guy but is irrational, mentally whatever and not the calculated genius the online hype has built him up to be
  he's the guy and intentionally got himself caught / planned to give himself up for a variety of possible reasons (acting as a public figure, mental instability, guilt, sense of righteousness/justice idk)
  he's not the guy and the information on the gun and ID is false or misrepresented
  he's not the guy but a whole slew of planted evidence, fake/exaggerated reporting etc make him out to be the guy, which imo seems like the most conspiracy-nutty take. not saying it's not possible but it seems the least likely.
- Well first of all you're assuming this is him. It could be. Could also be that the cops just found someone who's online profile seems plausible and are going to pin it on him.
  
  If it's not him it seems it would be trivial to prove that, but if any of the information provided to us by law enforcement is true (yea I know big if, but why would a random cop in pennsylvania lie about finding the suspect?) then it's certainly him.
- I don't think he really cared about getting caught all that much, just enough to do it and get away from the scene.
  
  Why bother getting away from the scene at all then?
HIS NAME WAS LUIGI MANGIONE!!!
Mama mia
@cypherpunks ah wow breaking news discovered thru lemmy! have been following this story and it's interesting to see where different parts of it have been revealed
Gowron bless him.
Must be hard for the investigators when so many people are potential suspects.
- I dunno, based on the article it sounds like they got the guy.
I'm surprised he only managed to get to Pennsylvania after 5 days.

Femme fatale! I wonder how this would have played out if it weren't for that girl at the hostel flirting with him, wanting to see the man behind the mask.
