If he’s mentally ill he might’ve just fixated on his plan for the ceo without thinking about how to live life on the run afterwards. Although carrying around his manifesto suggests he expected to be caught. It is a bit weird.
Unless it was on purpose for some reason? Hard to say. I wanted to see the video he allegedly posted, but it got pulled before I could download a copy.
I posted this before learning he is some alt right weirdo so I dunno maybe he did want to get caught to make some bizarre point or is just terminally incapable of considering owning 1 (one) less gun to save his own life like most usamericans are.
The video didn't explain anything. It started off by saying "if ur seeing this I am in custody, then had a countdown, then said "All will become clear in time." It was reported a second video was scheduled to be uploaded/posted but the youtube account was taken down before that happened. As far as we know there's literally nothing useful in the youtube video.
Could have deleted it himself. Makes sense to schedule a manifesto video before the hit so they can't stop you posting while in custody but when you unexpectedly get away with it you'd want to avoid releasing a confession.
"If you see this, I'm already under arrest," said a caption in the silent 84-second clip posted by the account @PepMangione, which matches other social handles that appear to be those of Luigi Mangione, the man arrested on Monday. The message was accompanied by a countdown from 60 seconds. Near the end of the video, the message, "Soon..." appeared at the bottom right of a black screen. A second caption appeared at the end of the video, saying, "All is scheduled, be patient. Bye for now."
If by chance that second vid had anything majorly impactful. I would hope that he had other accounts on as many other outlets set to get it out. YT is the largest outlet, but also proven time and time again to be easily banned/suspended for waaaay less. Though part of me kind of thinks that shit would be a Rick Roll given the trolling done with the backpack of Monopoly money. lol
