    He also allegedly had the manifesto with him, which makes no sense. Basically they just said “We randomly got a tip for this guy at mc donalds and he happened to have all possible pieces of evidence on him days after making a clean get away” mmm yeeah sure…

      And ‘oh, by the way’, we botched the arrest and search and there are some real questions about chain of custody, the search itself, and the evidence. Then there’s the ease (edit: ‘eaves’) dropping on his privileged communication with his attorney… clown show over here.

      My pragmatic theory:

      • He is the guy (I’m not saying it’s a bad thing)
      • The “anonymous tip” was rather “illegal surveillance/tech us plebs don’t know about”
      • Police found the gun and manifesto in NYC, and they planted it on him to ensure an easier conviction

      And it would’ve been so much easier to plant the stuff at his house while he was being taken. Except that would have required a small amount of thinking.
