So the Altoona Pennsylvania police who made the arrest just happened to plant the evidence for the NYPD? Lol
Yes? Why would that be surprising
Because it wasn't their case and they have no connection to it.
What cop wouldn't want to jump on the opportunity to be the one to catch the guy who did a high profile murder?
I guess the one who forgets about the other evidence in New York.
What I want to know is - where is Luigi's workshop?
That kind of 3D printed gun isn't just something you can print off at the library and start blasting. Even for a skilled 3D printing expert with a workshop full of plastic and metal working tools, you're looking at months of prototyping, printing, fitting, testing out prototypes at a gun range, etc. It is possible for skilled crafters to build an untraceable gun from a 3D printed frame and pieces ordered off the net. But it's nothing like just hitting "print" and having a gun.
This is what really gets me. Luigi was apparently living as a drifter for the last year or so. His family had been trying to get in touch with him. A hostel is not the place where you're going to be able to make a 3D printed gun. You need a workshop, and one that you can operate in with a high degree of privacy for an extended period of time.
So, again, where is Luigi's workshop? 3D printed guns don't just materialized from nowhere. If Luigi made the gun, he must have a workshop. Unless the police can show where that workshop is, I'm going to assume the gun was planted on him.
Where is Luigi's workshop?
Uh, maybe he bought it?
Ok. Then you just transfer the chain back one level. Who did he buy it from? Think about the logistics of buying one of those. Imagine you wanted to buy a ghost gun. How would you actually go about doing that? Yes, organized crime rings and gangs may make these things, but they don't just sell them to any random kid who walks up wanting to buy one. They'll obtain them for their own trusted members. But if a random white kid shows up looking to buy a gun, the thought of most people would be that this guy is planning a school shooting. And no gang wants that type of heat.
It's really not this deep. A white privileged kid murdered someone in a pathetic martyr operation and he's going to prison for decades.
You cant be rational in an irrational discussion. It never goes well- and usually ends in pitchfork-related injuries.
Be safe. These people aren’t using nuance or logic at all.
