        Just incredible. Pull something like this off and then do amateur-hour shit like keeping evidence like that on you and the gun allegedly. If you’re intent on being caught at least do something cool like filming yourself and posting your manifesto read by yourself online to immortalize yourself a bit. Just waiting for the cops with the all they need on you is silly.

        I’d totally believe the whole cops planted it on them thing if it wasn’t for the amateur-hour acts of them getting his DNA and him taking off his mask to smile at the camera just because the hostel desk person asked him to with a rib about having a nice smile. DNA isn’t so easy to fake in a court case with defense lawyers and attention like this. Like if it wasn’t him and the cops were trying to just plant this stuff I’d expect they’d have killed him instead to wrap up the lose ends and never made the DNA claim or walk it back.

          According to the police, the guy had an orgy of evidence on him. Ghost gun and silencer, anti-insurance manifesto, false ID matching what was used at the hostel.

          If its not him, its one hell of a coincidence. Dude was doing so well and then he simply forgot to stay low an extra few days.

          yeah from the report I read, they were lucky some random person called the tip in. Once they detain the guy he has all the evidence they need (fool, idiot). Not done and sealed quite yet, but it’s not looking great.
