I'm curious why he still carry all those things after he is done with it.
Check out parallel construction concept...
He didn't... They found where he dispose of it and gave to police to plant on him so we have to accept he is the perp..
You can get creative with who "they" are here btw
BC if you got murdered they would never do this.
Also he left a dead man switch for YouTube upload.
Proof of YouTube upload?
There’s no proof. Yet.
Maybe plotting how to dispose of it, perhaps extra paranoid with how much he blew up. Unfortunately all the memes of him probably helped spread the search for him. Not everyone who saw a meme agreed with his actions.
It was a ghost gun, he could have thrown it into any ditch and not have it traced back to him.
He'd probably be ditching more than just that. He could be caught on a security camera disposing of it which could give further clues. He may also had no intention of disposal and intended to keep the firearm.
There are not security cameras all the way.
The whole point of a ghost gun is to be able to throw it away and have it not traced back to you.
Private security footage could have caught him disposing, someone could have witnessess and grabbed another photo of him using his their cell phone. He could be worried about finger prints on the gun or other biological clues. And if a ghost gun is so untraceable, keeping it after a crime shouldn't be proof, because how do you prove it was this ghost gun used in the crime? He could claim he just keeps it for self defense or was interested in how far 3D printed tech has come
He could be planning another assassination or desire to keep the weapon for self defense purposes. I think you are downplaying the parannoia that would come with such a large scale manhunt accompanied with becoming an internet meme spreading your photo and awareness of your act over night. Paranoia makes you constantly think "but what if?" And that paranoia is even stronger in an extreme circumstance like this.
The fact is, we may never know why he kept it.
Even without serial number, a ghost gun will leave rifling marks on the bullets which can be compared by firing the gun into ballistic gel
Sad reality and a lessons on you didn't see shit.
In other threads, people have suggested that he might be carrying the manifesto in case he was shot and killed if/when arrested.
Possibly, yes. I'm amazed he still had the gun though.
Well I'd say... could it also be plausible he was going for another CEO.
Actually, that wouldn't surprise me at all.
