I’d sincerely recommend everyone to read his manifesto and think about it a little bit.

    More likely he had no real semblance of getting away with it and just happened to escape due to the incompetence of the NYPD.

    People who typically go through these plans are not the most mentally stable, he was probably expecting to be caught so he wrote his manifesto beforehand and thought he’d try to see how far he could get.

    Most of all, he probably did not expect the authorities fail to ID him, which is also why he made it for so long.

    Even the Mcdonalds employee might have reported him for other reasons like loitering or general sketchiness and not because they thought he was the shooter.

    Still I think it’s funny how he inadvertently proved the ease of crime with pretty basic rules. Any sort of organized crime, especially one off jobs could probably do it even more discretely and get away with it.

      The news interviewed the employee, and apparently he wasn’t aware that was actually the real luigi right there. He was trying to waste the police’s time on a lookalike
