This is a fix. No way the hit was this well planned and executed but then he didn't dispose of the weapon and ID.
- Also who takes their manifesto to McDonald's?
  
  it's burgerland where else would you take it?
  
  Palestinian youth brushing up on their favorite lines from the Arabic translation of Mein Kampf.
- If he’s mentally ill he might’ve just fixated on his plan for the ceo without thinking about how to live life on the run afterwards. Although carrying around his manifesto suggests he expected to be caught. It is a bit weird.
- Unless it was on purpose for some reason? Hard to say. I wanted to see the video he allegedly posted, but it got pulled before I could download a copy.
  
  Of all the explanations for "why he made such huge blunders now despite being competent before" I think this is the most likely. He saw the media circus, saw his 5 minutes of fame and tried to cash in, not realising that this makes him look like a dipshit instead of a hero.
  Personally I think this guy is probably a patsy or scapegoat the NYPD picked up to make it look like they're doing something after this made them a laughing stock. It'll probably be revealed in 6-12 months when this finally goes to trial that there is 0 evidence this guy did it and the cops actually had no leads at all.
  
  patsy
  the funniest outcome yet also very realistic
  
  but if it was on purpose WHY DO IT THIS WAY!
  Could have done the whole thing on facebook live if he wanted to get caught anyway
  
  I posted this before learning he is some alt right weirdo so I dunno maybe he did want to get caught to make some bizarre point or is just terminally incapable of considering owning 1 (one) less gun to save his own life like most usamericans are.
  
  Maybe it was his favorite tho
  
  Did the video get posted? I saw someone here say it was set to go live in 2 days.
  edit: I found the timer video, its not interesting but here it is if that's what you were looking for.
  
  it's pretty interesting. "if you see this i'm already under arrest" "all is scheduled, bye for now" "soon". i wonder what he has scheduled. i assume it's an info dump or something, wonder what it could be
  
  I guess so, I am interested to see what gets posted/if he scheduled anything else now that the google account is down. Assuming its real. But this video itself doesn't have any new developments that you couldn't have gotten from the article, that's all I meant.
  
  yeah i'm hoping he was smart enough not to schedule video uploads to that youtube channel, no way he didn't know it would be taken down. maybe he overlooked that tho.
  
  Thanks for satisfying my curiosity! That wasn't interesting a tall lol
  
  The video didn't explain anything. It started off by saying "if ur seeing this I am in custody, then had a countdown, then said "All will become clear in time." It was reported a second video was scheduled to be uploaded/posted but the youtube account was taken down before that happened. As far as we know there's literally nothing useful in the youtube video.
  E) NM I see further down you found it.
