Carrying the gun seems particularly fucking stupid.

Like suspiciously stupid. Getting caught, even if you get your manifesto out there, doesn't really help your cause. Disappearing; leaving a constant doubt of a professional killer hunting insurance CEOs would.

So here's hoping Luigi plays along for a couple weeks and goes "haha suckers, here's my alibi."

And, from all accounts, this guy was not stupid - high school valedictorian, high honors in college, tech bro who made or acquired a ghost gun. My guess is the evidence was planted or he wanted to get caught. I mean, it was a ghost gun - he could have melted it down or broke it into pieces, etc. Why would he still have it?

Mental disease or defect? But yeah I've seen what folks are writing about the dude and he certainly doesn't seem "stupid" on paper.
