      You mean that what appeared to be a meticulously planned and masterfully executed assassination, such that there was little to no usable camera footage wasn’t likely to be undone the perp wandering around with a written confession and the murder weapon days later?

      I’m shocked there haven’t been more conspiracy theories on this.

        You need a second such incident for the conspiracy to work. Because the implication is that the real saint is out there working his miracles.

        Agreed. I always wondered how two different backpacks came into the picture.

        And it would explain the drones in the tristate as they could be useful for finding the suspect.

      It would be the worst kind of mindfuck for him if he was just some radical centrist tech bro who got framed of a crime, sanctified in the public opinion, and then proven to be innocent. Like that’s the shit therapists’ accountants dream of

      Guilty or not, convicted or not… He is just a symbol either way.

      This is about the corruption within US systems esp health insurance.

      You know, I feel like the thousands of people thirsting after him would be a pretty good ego boost at least. Enough to make up for the psychological torture of being framed? Probs not, buuuuuutttt…
