He acquired intimate knowledge of the area and event, is an experienced shooter, and has above average fitness/athletic ability. Those things together tell me the perp is likely not going to be some basement dweller or random loser. This feels like possibly someone with military/law enforcement...

it looks like the roof of that building is covered in loose pebbles. I doubt anyone is ever up there raking, but there really doesn’t appear to be any disturbances/prints in those pebbles beyond those caused by him yesterday. What I am saying is this means he probably did not physically practice...

based on his outburst it’s likely his trial will become the people v the health insurance industry. given the overwhelming reactions we see online that is not something these companies are going to want to endure. it makes me wonder if there will be pressure to seek a plea agreement. The circus...

I wonder if he was hung out to dry by a collaborator.

do we know what he was doing in Altoona? Like did he disembark there? I’ve read the McD’s was a rest stop for the bus, but would he really have the time to go inside, get food, and set up his laptop?

what you’re describing is a revolution, and for a country with millions upon millions of angry, desperate people this incident should be the canary in the coal mine.

The picture emerging for me is that of a very smart, very privileged young man who experienced some kind of traumatic medical event (a back injury) roughly 18 months ago. Based on what we’ve heard from friends and coworkers this aligns with what appears to be a marked personality change, job...

Bingo. He also retweeted a LOT of manosphere stuff. It’s giving incel vibes. those guys also cling to the “born in the wrong era” tropes we already see in his writing.

Given his background he was probably used to getting what he wanted. I’ll bet UHC became an obsession based on whatever happened to his back - maybe some kind of claim denial he felt was unjust.

The goodreads list is so peculiar. Multiple books about back pain. Was he a disgruntled UHC customer?

It’s possible he had trouble with a credit card and the clerk asked him for ID. Kind of unlikely at a McDs but it’s reasonably possible. Really don’t care though! The manifesto should be wild. He probably had an axe to grind with Big Healthcare.

Great news, hopefully the story comes into sharper focus now. Altoona is only 4.5 hours by car from the last place he was seen (GWB bus station). Where has he been hiding the past few days? Wonder if he had some help.

Hackers would have both the info about where he was staying and his schedule as well as his personal phone number. All it would take is access to company email. I’ve said it three times already, UHC still has not acknowledged that the cyber incident that began almost a year ago is over. It is...

MOO: At this point I’d be shocked to learn the perp wasn’t connected in some way to the group that hacked UHC. He is the living embodiment of how they act online: brash, clever, invincible, juvenile. They intended to bring this “evil” company to heel through cyber embarrassment and when that...
