I’m thinking it’s more like they’re just figuring out how to make someone who obviously isn’t the shooter into the shooter.
IMO it’s fairly likely they had figured out his identity by yesterday. Not guaranteed, but likely. They didn’t release it because they also knew it would be disastrous if it was a groyper and he got away with it, so they decided to withhold the information from public release and find someone who looked close enough.
If they didn’t have his identity by yesterday, then they would’ve come to the same conclusion. They couldn’t let it go unpunished so it was time to find some random person who looks close enough (bonus points if it isn’t a right winger).
I’m saying this because Trump is apparently saying this person either turned themselves in or got turned in by someone close to them (father?), which makes 0 sense.

luigi got snitched on by a maccas worker, nothing is too out there in this day and age
Most solid part of the case against Luigi is the goodreads review of the Unabomber manifesto. I find it much easier to believe the second gun and manifesto are planted than to believe he would plan the assassination so well then bungle the escape and still be in the country a couple of days later.
The thing about the Palantir system is that it’s a state space of everyone in America. Meaning you can approach the network with a query and it will find the shortest path from your query to a person.
There’s no real evidence or investigation involved, just:
SELECT*FROM people
WHERE
face LIKE "image.jpg",
last_location WITHIN_DISTANCE("75 MILES", "<lat>, <lon>"),
MOOD("United Healthcare") <0as uhc_mood
TOP 5ORDERBY uhc_mood ASC
I agree that it’s possible the super advanced surveillance systems that Palantir et al have could’ve been used to find him and Luigi did do it, but then that goes into the parallel construction theory, that the evidence was still planted to solidify a case (especially when the evidence actually utilized to find the subject is inadmissible for some reason).
I’m not saying that they got the right guy, I’m saying that the way they use these AI systems to find patsys makes it very believable since the immediately available information will make them look guilty. You then just plant extra evidence until it’s “undeniable”.
Same way chatGPT is always plausibly correct at first glance.
I agree and I’m really curious if his legal defense is going to be The Shaggy Defense: ‘that wasn’t me’ 'cause it seems like everyone including news media started entirely assuming his guilt long before any evidence was presented by people other than the pigs who could completely make it up
I remember noting how horrible the journalistic malpractice was when Luigi was arrested and they were constantly using “the suspect” instead of “the shooter” or “the perpetrator.” Like, “the suspect shot at Thompson” kinds of sentences were so common when Luigi got taken into custody.

That’s more believable (and I still think it was parallel construction IF it was Luigi) than the possibility that this shooter went home to his scrupulous dad after the most high profile assassination in American politics in quite a few years, and decided to comply with whoever was turning him in.
fair point, now that i think about it this seems a bit fantastical. a guy who planned out everything to a T all of a sudden caves to his conscience out of the goodness of his heart because his dad told him to? yeah, something is wrong.
It’s very likely a groyper! These are the most nihilistic scumbags in the world, why would he suddenly face a bout of contrition? Did he see the face of Jesus on his morning toast or what?
The non-caffeine Mormons are crazy as fuck. I worked with one a long time ago. He was always super chipper and overall a “nice guy.” But there’s something so unsettling about them. Every practicing Mormon I’ve ever met there’s just something off.
I saw that same guy at the gym one time at one of the bench presses. He didn’t have headphones on or anything. Still in his work clothes (blue collar stuff. Covered in oil and dirt). He just loads three plates on the bar, slides under, reps that shit, then sits there resting and does it again. No music. No phone between sets. Just like nodding to himself. Wild shit.
they’re essentially just christian fundies on steroids. having fun and whimsy isn’t allowed so they have to compensate by looking for any and all loopholes that they can use to do normal people shit. at least they’re universalists, but their heaven is fucking segregated too lmfao the joke writes itself.

I’m still not convinced Luigi killed that dude to be quite honest, I kinda still think he’s a patsy.
He looks completely different from the guy in the security footage, who also looks completely different from the guy in the Uber.

Right, that’s actually really smart. The Oswald finder.
i haven’t been too invested in his case, but i agree that the CCTV footage guy and luigi don’t look alike. who knows though.

Same, I am absolutely unconvinced

maybe joseph smith came to him in a vision and told him that he’d get a pass to drink coffee if he turns himself in
Maybe even gasp a Dr. Pepper?
