Publish it then.
Deny that you know or even saw them. Defend them if they do get caught, through protest, fundraising, bail, etc. Depose those who put them in jail if they are sentenced.
He was carrying it around for absolutely no reason and for long enough to get caught with it? Bullshit, it's manufactured evidence.
First thought that came to mind as well, it sounds very implausible for him to be carrying a manifesto.
Unless he planned on not surviving
Not surviving what, the bus ride?
The arrest
Another thought I had is what if he was still writing it?
A week after?
I'm totally speculating, but if he's been on the run, he may not have changed his plans on certain... conclusions.
Perhaps, yes

Well, a YouTube account with the shooters name posted a video today titled "truth" which was basically saying that there were videos scheduled to be made public in the near future (presumably on the same account), which would speak to his motivations and mind set or something of the sort.
Instead of telling you about it, I would prefer to just link the video, but according to YouTube, the account associated with the YouTube channel has been removed, so you can believe me or not on this. the video was only up for about 4 hours and when I saw it, maybe 30 minutes before it was removed from YouTube, it had 10's of thousands of views. I know those counters aren't exactly real time, so it's not unreasonable to think that upwards of 100k people saw it, maybe more, and unless one of them saved it, it's likely that nobody else will see it.
It’s still here for now

This is fabricated
That may be so, but the claim in the context that the YouTube handle doesn’t match his Twitter handle is wrong

I’m not sure about the claim that the account was created yesterday. This article claims it was created in January, but I’m not sure if that can be verified now that the account has been removed

Lol, Twitter?! Seriously? I'm not even going to click that shit. I know it's not real.
Well well well,
Once, not if, but once it leaks, who ordered this, and who executed said order of this information being suppressed, you'll have more heads in line for the guillotine.
¡Congrats!
Pretty sure that YT account was faked, or mis-related to Mangione
It will be impossible to ever know whether or was or not.
This thing about a guy at Macdonald's recognizing his eyes also sounds bit strange tbh
Or he consider himself a crusader for a cause more than a vigilante and was carrying it to get more attention to his beliefs.
And yet instead of waiting around to get lots of attention and people *quoting things he said before cops arrived he quietly got on a bus. Doesn't track.
*fucking worthless autocorrect
My tin foil hat theory is that he was planning out another shooting and got interrupted.
They need dozens of psy PhD types to review it to asses risks and prep narratives to discredit him.
Get fucked, dude is a hero.
Give them time to write it up! They police are having problems with the shared Google Doc permissions.
and the reading, don't forget the reading
Historically speaking, pigs can't read.

Wow thanks for posting
We wouldn’t want to arouse ill-will toward health insurers /s
Hey you got your account back!!
Are you referring to the 2FA problem I had? I brute-forced it with a simple Bash script utilizing Lemmy API. Our instance doesn't seem to have rate-limiting.
that is configurable by your admin. while it was useful for you, you should probably raise that problem to your admin.
Yea, Oh Cool.
