  1. I dunno. We’re probably being played again by the deep state shadow gov CIA bouys. Who ever the shooter was, he was a very experience pistol shooter. It’ll be interesting to see if Luigi ever shot competition. I’m thinking the real shooter probably has.

  2. So, this anti-capitalist is caught eating lunch at McDonalds. And he’s in possession of a 9mm handgun complete with suppressor, 4 fake ID’s, and a manifesto about his dislike for the insurance industry. He’s the valedictorian at his high school, and an honor student at Penn. I can’t put my finger on it but something smells like a hogs ass about this story.

  3. Degrees in Computer Science. He shoulda stuck to coding. As a hero to the left, he may get away with it.

    Nobody much likes insurance companies. But I dislike murderers even more.

  4. Not buying the conspiracy theory stuff that so many want to jump on immediately.

    Hey, I get it…who to trust? But be real. This dude was intelligent, had the motive, matches the photos from around the scene, carrying the weapon, blah blah. He’s proud to be the one, AND. HE. IS.

    Keep it simple on this. Too many social media types trying to cash in on bullshit.

  5. HAVE GUN, WILL TRAVEL FOR $$

    Your chosen name would indicate you know something about firearms and propoer shooting form. I encourage you to go back and watch this shooter in the video of the original hit/murder. The guys got his wrists slightly bent, elbows slightly bent, shoulders locked, top of the gun right on plane with his line of sight. He needs to jack the slide every time he takes a shot and that gun comes back to the exact same spot. Pistols with big ass cans on them like that are tough to shoot. His first shot went a little wide right but he kept right with it until he knew the guy was gone. Frat boy didn’t learn that playing video games. And that’s my biggest problem with this whole deal.

  6. Never underestimate the soul-killing influence our colleges have on college students today. By all accounts this guy was on a certain track to all kinds of success in life. Start by telling him he’s a toxic white boy who is destined to oppress everyone who doesn’t look like him. Then you keep telling him that until he hates himself. Next thing you know he’s either “transitioning” to a fake woman, taking massive amounts of drugs to deal with his shame, or finding a ’cause’. Apparently, denouncing his family’s wealth and his cushy situation, as well as finding a target for his ’cause’, is where he wound up.

    I don’t know but that if I was his attorney, I think I’d start by building a case of radical indoctrination by his activist professors and so-called “influencers” on the social media sites he frequented. Isn’t it time to turn the heat up on those who romanticize the use of violent revolution and who prey upon kids over whom they wield the power of the grade.

  7. ^^^^ Brad, they are saying it’s a “printed ghost gun 9mm with silencer” so that lends itself to needing to recharge the slide after each shot. The first shot appeared to hit him in the leg. That’s not a good shooter….

    I don’t buy the conspiracy theory either because he was the CEO of United Health Care and not an assignation attempt on a Presidential candidate…Butler PA is a true aluminum tin foil hat conspiracy theory that should shake everybody up…I think it made Trump immortal though. if they kill him now then the Civil WarII truly starts….

  8. Another curious thing is a McDonalds employee recognized his face and his family (cousin is a Maryland assemblyman) didn’t turn him in. I think they were lawyering up…

    He was probably using sub sonic ammo as well which would require recharging after every shot. Remember big cities have that shot detection system on every street corner and a normal report from a gun can be dialed into a couple square feet making response time much faster. I’m still sticking with the guy was a pro just based on his form and the ability to return the gun back to the exact same spot every time. I’m just sayen I don’t think a frat boy is capable of pulling this off unless he’s got a lot of experience pushing rounds down range. I dunno. There will be lots of interesting shit coming out tomorrow.

  10. Brad, I don’t know shit about ammo or loads but I read one article that said sub-sonic would have aided the slide to recharge and regular ammo would have hindered the slide to recharge because of too much pressure escaping the barrel. I’m open to be corrected….

    I’m pretty new to semi-autos and traded in my M&P Shield for some cash and na SA-35….I can reacquire a target pretty quick….Where’s Loco when we need some school’in on some gun stuff…LOLOLOLOLOL….

    No that’s incorrect. Sub sonic loads are light loads the travel below 780 ftp so there’s less report. Pro hit guys like them with silencers because they’re really quite. They don’t light up the gun shot detection stuff and they don’t scare the surroundings peeps as bad.
    Just y opinion about this guy. Who knows. This will turn into another Las Vegas where nothing adds up and they hope it just goes away.

  12. Exactly, AbigailAdams. This may be a prime example of a Marxist indoctrinated white Gen Z guy filled with self hate and a radical left mission to take out health insurance executives who represent a corrupt health insurance industry (created by the left, BTW)…for a start.
    So deranged he thinks sacrificing himself for the “cause” will make him a hero. A lifetime in prison as the “pretty” one passed around will snap him out of that delusion.
    He’s a fan of Ted Kaczynski, the Unibomber’s quotes. Tells you a lot about his violent radicalized mindset. An insanity defense is what his lawyer might pursue if they have solid DNA evidence connected directly to the shooting.

  13. I don’t get why the guy still had all of his incriminating evidence when he was caught. That stuff would be long gone before I fled on a bus. And he says that the foreign currency was planted on him. Was it planted? Was everything planted?

    It’s almost as if they were tracking his escape, then followed him around, picked up all the stuffed he tossed, and reassembled it at McD’s. Or maybe he was book-smart, not street-smart (or TV criminal smart). Or maybe he kept everything as part of his planned arrest. I dunno. Weird.
