Dual purpose phrasing, I love it
"Alleged" shooter. Are you convinced they got the right guy? I'm not. What they got is one very unlucky guy. It could have been anyone who roughly looks like that.
Sure. But they also allegedly found the gun, his phone, his notebook, DNA, a rather unique backpack, etc. Allegedly. Maybe he wanted to be found ... Because he was the fall guy. Or the guy they brought in to make us all feel no one can evade the long arm of the law (except the people who assassinated all the civil rights folk and a president, and those boys from the wiley house of saud)
It is definitely coincidental in the simulation is collapsing kind of way. The name is too spot on.
Or. Maybe he did. And he wasn't that experienced at killing and stuff.
Either way, the first domino has fallen. The collective anger has been heard and felt. What we've all thought has been said. And most agree.
Didn't they find a manifesto on him...?

I've always thought it was badass to do a crime so infamous that the crime gets named after you. Think Charles Ponzi or Lorena Bobbit.
It'sa me! Mario! AND LUIGI MOTHERFU coin sound KER!!!!
I'm surprised the Luigi side eye meme hasn't returned.
Saw that meme today on Lemmy.
I knew I couldn't have been the only one.
I speak a little french and it has the same root in manger (to eat) or the thing that Jesus dude was placedin - a manger (a feeding trough) and for whatever reason at that moment words worded.
Mangione isn't the shooter, though
Would absolutely love for this to be the case, the cops spend all their time prosecuting this dude while the real killer takes away and Luigi is set for life after all the character defamation suits he gains from the media
I admit it.
It was me, Mario!
But my name is actually Guy Tomber, and I'm French.
(For those who don't speak the language of love, that translates, in a punny way, to 'fall guy')
