    Another perspective I’ve been hearing: https://www.instagram.com/reel/DDX0EU9I3CQ/?igsh=MjA0bWxwM2dhM2hh

    Tldw: based on everything we’ve seen of this dude so far, the details don’t really add up. It seems really unlikely that after everything he would get nabbed looking suspicious at a McDonald’s, with a written manifesto on his person. Could be wrong, it’s just speculation. But personally I’ll be expecting more news on this, unless nothing happens for like a week.

      Conspiracy time:

      What if it’s a duo / group and they intentionally got someone caught who will have a rock solid alibi after letting investigators waste days on him, but also getting other bits and pieces of message out the entire time?

        I personally like the theory that they caught him using five eyes data, and skip the step where they write “US citizen” in the transcripts

          No need to skip anything; they aren’t themselves allowed to spy on their own citizens, but if any of the other eyes does, then they can share the info. It’s been like that from the beginning.

      Seems odd. Like going to all that trouble then not ditching all the evidence, unless he had other targets he was working on next.
