    The weirdest part to me would be why he’d write a manifesto to “save the police time” and then not plead guilty

      If you want a trial, you have to plead not guilty. Otherwise, it just goes to sentencing, which would be done in a few weeks.

      Pleading not guilty, he’ll be in the news every couple weeks, inspiring universal healthcare legislation, candidates, and/or copycats.

      Because he has more to say.

      If he was trying to genuinely get away with it, he would have destroyed the gun, not written the manifesto, worn a disguise…

        Unless that is all fabricated evidence. Im not even trying to meme here. Some of the “facts” and evidence about this case are odd and suspicious.

        If he didn’t do it, he’s a hero for enduring the bullshit the state is throwing at him.
