The attack on the 50-year-old executive—allegedly by the now 27-year-old Luigi Mangione—immediately sparked an outpouring of public fury not at the gunman, but at UnitedHealthcare itself.

Makes a ghost gun. Keeps it, doesn't dispose of it. Walks around in public with said gun on his person, as well as a "manifesto." Gets "caught" because of his fake id that a McDonald's cashier clocked.

Yeah. He totally did it.

Also, a guy with really severe back pain is totally going to ride a Citibike on NYC potholed streets.

Right? Thinking Luigi is guilty is basically the irl version of "Aurora Borealis, at this time of year, at this time of day, in this part of the country, localized entirely within your kitchen!?"

History is filled with weirder stories

Governments try very hard to manipulate history and often succeed. This appears to have been a very bad manipulation job though.

Reminds me of when some Russian FSB guys were hunting for "terrorists" and they supposedly found some memory "sims" in a hotel room, and in the picture the heavy armed FSB proudly posted it was some boxed copies of the video game called "the sims". And they were claiming that was legitimate proof of terrorism. Not a frame up job at all, clearly.

Your mom lied to you, and so did the government.

You can’t have a reasonable debate with someone when their position is “everything anyone says is a lie, except what I say”

I can't? Well, not with that attitude, maybe.
