Too much stuff just doesn’t add up to me.

  1. His family is very rich. They own at least one country club, possibly multiple, and he graduated from an Ivy League school. The wealthy class have phenomenal healthcare in the US so why would anyone rich want to whack a healthcare CEO?
  2. Why would any intelligent killer keep the murder weapon, the jacket he was wearing, the fake ID he used near the scene, and a manifesto on his person a week later? How incredibly convenient for the pigs to find.
  3. Why would any intelligent killer, with a wealthy family, be out in public at a McDonald’s less than a week later, and not lying low on family property somewhere for months?
  4. Why does Luigi have such an obvious digital footprint when the Adjuster planned so well? In less than a day the media dug up stuff like his Goodreads account.
  5. Why do the photos the NYPD released look like at least 2 different men?
  6. Why did a grand jury indict Luigi so fast?

I think the real Adjuster is still out there and the pigs are absolutely desperate to have a “solved” class warfare incident. Luigi is either a plant or he’s unlucky to have been nearby, doing “Suspicious Stuff”, and is being framed with plenty of planted evidence.

Edit: Luigi claimed in his bail hearing that he had no clue where the $8,000 in cash he was “arrested with” came from and suggested it was planted on him. The prosecutors used it to deny him bail on the basis that he was “evading authorities”. The pigs also claimed he had an additional $2000 in “foreign currency” on him, and that to me sounds like an obvious lie or plant to make him look like he intended to leave the country and get his bail denied

Yeah this seems entirely plausible as a way to quickly close the case so as to not give anyone any interesting ideas.

Less seriously: the media expect me to believe that Altoona Pennsylvania is a real place and some guy named Luigi Mangione isn’t a character from a mobster B-movie?

C’mon. No way those are real names.

He does really look like the taxi pic tho. Also it may be that he wanted to get caught. Maybe given his profile and background he might think he can have an impact, proving the rich they’re not safe in their class either, to watch out for traitors inside. Maybe he has something to say, now his face is everywhere.

His wanting to be caught would answer several of my questions, but makes me question his motives and plans even more relative to what happened.

If he wanted to be caught, why even flee New York? Why visit multiple cities in Pennsylvania after leaving NY? Why use a fake ID at all?

One way it could make sense is if the Adjuster initially intended to lay low and move on, but once he saw how positive the social media reception was he decided he’d take credit for it and try his luck convincing one of twelve jurors to nullify.

Maybe he had some loose ends to tie, he had to to do something before giving his life away.

Or it’s not him

This is the one I’m thinking of. Gotta be magic medial eyebrow growth in a week for those to be the same guy.

Edit: Also his nose bridge isn’t the same and the guy’s nose looks smaller than Luigi’s overall even behind the mask.

To be fair if you look at his arrest pics/mugshots it looks like he plucked his brows.
