A journey through his online footprint and influences

Edit: Here’s a link to what is most likely the real manifesto: https://www.kenklippenstein.com/p/luigis-manifesto

Ken Klippenstein is a very reliable journalist and this version of the manifesto contains the snippets that have been released by law enforcement. Also, considering the thing was hand-written, that very long version involving his mom is dubious. (And there’s not any good evidence that his mom is in anything besides decent/good health)

    Unfortunately school shooters want to hurt society

    Some of them, sure, but not all of them. Some of them just want a “high score”, some of them just want to hurt somebody, some of them just want their name in the history books.

    they aren’t interested in fame. They want notoriety.

    It doesn’t matter what you call it. They want attention, and they’ve been shown new way to get a shit load of attention, much of it positive.

      I expect school shootings to continue to happen at the same rate, where we might see someone have a crack at a single CEO or Director in the next year.

      It doesn’t matter what you call it.

      It does because it speaks directly to the motivation for the act.
