Not a great day for Luigi

[Lennys Tap]

Why?  I think he clearly wanted to get caught.  The dude was eating in a public restaurant and had the gun, silencer, and fake ID he used at the hostel still on him.  He had plenty of time to flee across the boarder and board a plane from there, and certainly to ditch any evidence.  But he had it on him.

A guy who is smart enough to graduate from UPenn with a masters in computer science is smart enough to know there are cameras everywhere, especially in NYC.

If he really wanted to be caught why didn't  he turn himself in? Why did he run from the scene, jump on an electric bike and head for a bus station and end up in Altoona? Why? Because that was part of his "genius" (lol) plan.

Just because he got good grades and scored well on standardized tests doesn't mean he has any common sense.

He needed to find more Monopoly money?  Or a better mask?

He enjoys the attention. I don't care if he went to UPenn or MATC. If you don't want to be caught, you probably aren't carrying the gun, silencer, and fake IDs you used to murder someone 5 days prior around with you.

Not wanting to get caught and actually having a plan not to get caught are two separate issues.

He was carrying a manifesto on him. Like someone in this thread said, he thinks of himself as some kind of martyr for a cause.

Common sense: People who want to be caught turn themselves in or remain at the scene. People who want to escape run, (i.e., escape). Just because his escape was haphazard (stupid, lacking cohesion, whatever) doesn't mean it wasn't an attempt to escape. Without a doubt it was.

People who want to get away with murder don't carry around their manifesto admitting to what they did, giving their motive, etc., as well as the murder weapon and a plethora of other evidence almost a week after the murder.

Manifesto isn't what he was carrying.  It was like a 300-word essay.  Media sensationalizing it, along with law enforcement.

[MuggsyB]

The unibomber had a manifesto.  But was significantly smarter.  He actually was a genius by all accounts.

Murderers are often stupid and do stupid things. Like committing murder. This idiot didn't concoct some great escape plan. That's why his escape route had him at a McDonalds in Altoona, Pa. But if you're fleeing the scene of your crime, that literally is an escape. Being dumb about it doesn't make it less so. Take the L.

We are all taking the L these days with these dang premiums!

[warriorchick]

Can't outright give the providers money so gotta give gifts!

Or sponsor an all-expenses paid  "conference" in some place like Scottsdale or Palm Springs which consists of a 2-hour sales pitch about the drug and then 2 1/2 days of golfing and steak dinners.

Lol. You know plenty about taking Ls.

I think he is angling for an insanity defense. I think his outburst when being taken into the courtroom was part of that angle.

We're in a post-insanity society

I heard he's covering for a manatee.

"To the Feds, I'll keep this short, because I do respect what you do for our country. To save you a lengthy investigation, I state plainly that I wasn't working with anyone. This was fairly trivial: some elementary social engineering, basic CAD, a lot of patience. The spiral notebook, if present, has some straggling notes and To Do lists that illuminate the gist of it. My tech is pretty locked down because I work in engineering so probably not much info there. I do apologize for any strife of traumas but it had to be done. Frankly, these parasites simply had it coming. A reminder: the US has the #1 most expensive healthcare system in the world, yet we rank roughly #42 in life expectancy. United is the [indecipherable] largest company in the US by market cap, behind only Apple, Google, Walmart. It has grown and grown, but as our life expectancy? No the reality is, these [indecipherable] have simply gotten too powerful, and they continue to abuse our country for immense profit because the American public has allwed them to get away with it. Obviously the problem is more complex, but I do not have space, and frankly I do not pretend to be the most qualified person to lay out the full argument. But many have illuminated the corruption and greed (e.g.: Rosenthal, Moore), decades ago and the problems simply remain. It is not an issue of awareness at this point, but clearly power games at play. Evidently I am the first to face it with such brutal honesty."

Sounds like someone who thought he'd get away with murder.

?????  Manatees are never angry or unhinged.

I know plenty about a lot of things - many thanks for the kind words and for graciously admitting your mistake.

You're right. That manifesto above seems like a guy who expected to get away with murder. To go along with the fact he was carrying all relevant evidence against him on himself days after the murder, including the murder weapon.

I know what you are but what am I
