Read another angle somewhere that I hadn’t before considered, that would explain absolutely everything, and it’s just one word.

MKULTRA.

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

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?

Yep, he’s already been charged with 5 separate crimes in New York and at least two in Pennsylvania. It happened about 6 hours ago. That’s lightning-fast, isn’t it?

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.
