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.

Probably saw how much of a sensation he had become and decided to relish in it.

Of all the explanations for “why he made such huge blunders now despite being competent before” I think this is the most likely. He saw the media circus, saw his 5 minutes of fame and tried to cash in, not realising that this makes him look like a dipshit instead of a hero.

Personally I think this guy is probably a patsy or scapegoat the NYPD picked up to make it look like they’re doing something after this made them a laughing stock. It’ll probably be revealed in 6-12 months when this finally goes to trial that there is 0 evidence this guy did it and the cops actually had no leads at all.

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.

It was a ghost gun tho, wasn’t it? Unless you like-- went to the effort of taking the slide, grips, and trigger well to mirror-fine sanding, I can’t see a 3d print being a “favorite gun” of mine. (But I’m also biased, I have little respect for polymer-wrought handguns, and miss the era of polished wood and gunmetal.)

but if it was on purpose WHY DO IT THIS WAY!

Could have done the whole thing on facebook live if he wanted to get caught anyway

edit: I found the timer video, its not interesting but here it is if that’s what you were looking for.

it’s pretty interesting. “if you see this i’m already under arrest” “all is scheduled, bye for now” “soon”. i wonder what he has scheduled. i assume it’s an info dump or something, wonder what it could be

I guess so, I am interested to see what gets posted/if he scheduled anything else now that the google account is down. Assuming its real. But this video itself doesn’t have any new developments that you couldn’t have gotten from the article, that’s all I meant.

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.

E) NM I see further down you found it.
