    His alleged manifesto. Cops have been caught too many times planting evidence and breaking the law to be taken seriously.

    • I’m not convinced he was really trying to evade. I mean who gets on a bus for a getaway. Your trapped on it, and most have cameras. I think he was kind of half assing the evade part, not really expecting to get away, just to stall a little.

      I am still not sold on 1) is he really the Adjuster and 2) if he is, i am not buying the narrative media and government are pushing. from mcds capture to the evidence they found on him to the “tip”

      • The whole story about someone at McDonald’s noticing a “suspicious guy” seems suspicious. One, who pays attention to anyone else at a McDonald’s? Two, what kind of person that goes to MCDs doesn’t look at least a little sus?

          Karen archetype is a thing in US tho…

          I still don’t believe that is what happened but there is precedent for it.

    Ah yes, the manifesto he wrote, the one where he conveniently confesses to the crime and never destroyed. The manifesto that he never destroyed but also never released to the public like anyone else with a manifesto would do. The manifesto that he was just kind of holding onto for no reason almost as if it was designed to serve as evidence against him. That manifesto. Of course…

      Even if it was fake, this manifesto makes a good point. We, as a people, would have far less miserable lives if every CEO in the Fortune 500 and billionaire dropped dead tomorrow. Just saying, we’d be way better off with them dead, and we all know it. Left, right, doesn’t matter. If you know the pain of being exploited by these rich fucks then we’ve got an enemy in common.

      When someone else kills a CEO we need to do everything we can to hide them, aid them, and celebrate them as our heroes in this war.
