Because they couldn’t. He bought the bag before they automatically tracked all purchasers with a unique ID on the bags they sell. The CEO of PD actively called the tip line.

Just so everybody knows, when you decide to do your own homework, you should go to your local thrift store and purchase the most Generic clothing and Accessories that you can. No High end brand names. Something mass produced.
And ffs, don’t leave shit at the scene.
I admire his ability to complete a project, but I have some notes.
And have more than one fake ID, and multiple changes of clothing stashed on the escape route. And ditch the firearm in the bag with a rock in the river at night. Don’t try to hide out in bum fuck Pennsylvania. And don’t carry your manifesto with you, I don’t wander around outside unmasked when it’s cold enough to be masked. Probably don’t etch the casings yourself. Matter of fact don’t drop casings for the gun you used.
Assuming he actually made these mistakes there’s a whole lot of hindsight to go around.
If you get stopped by police a week later, after you’ve ditched everything including fake IDs, just use your real fucking ID.
He should have just hid out in Baltimore He’s from there
I wouldn’t try to hide out anywhere I’m from. Just personally I’d rather be anonymous rando. If you’ve never been those little motel places on the side of the road don’t care why you’re there and take cash. They could be involved in small time illegal shit too which means they already know what everyone should- Don’t talk to the police.
Ideally, they shouldn’t have known he did it. They shouldn’t have had a picture of him unmasked. Nobody would have thought twice about him flying out of BWI He’s got family there.
You’re just one in a million until you show up in a McDonald’s in Altoona with your face plastered all over the TV and a fake reward, a gun and a fake ID in your bag.
That’s what I want to know, why he kept the gun and fake ID? He had resources presumably to make more if he wanted to continue.
We can only presume so much. it’s entirely possible that the stuff was planted on him. But if he did have the manifesto on a Reddit account, months to years prior, and other places…
When we saw the video we all looked at it and went that looks pretty professional. Then again Hollywood is the only reference most of us have.
He’s got a good bulldog of a lawyer coming. If he goes down it’s going to be because of a overwhelming amount of evidence not because there were a few plants in his bag.
The questions you should probably ask are:
was that license used to check into the hostel
Was that license used to get the bus ticket from New York City to wherever?
Does he have a good credible reason to be on a bus from New York to God knows where, stopping in Altoona.
If that bus ticket was bought with that ID… That’s pretty damning.
Why not ditch the stuff?
Maybe he was trying to get caught
Maybe he was planning to pull something else off (again smart money would be on getting new equipment/id)
Maybe he was planning on doing himself in, and hadn’t had the opportunity to ditch the ID after getting on the bus.
Carrying the manifesto however… If that’s not a plant, again it will be in his handwriting with his DNA all through it, That’s just bad form.
Bottom line, he’s not a professional. And maybe our collective got check of what a professional is, is someone off base.
Good analysis. I’m just going to repeat from the start- I am not a gun professional. I’m barely an amateur. I could make that first shot 9/10, but apparently he hit him in the leg. I can’t imagine the adrenaline. Clearing the gun by racking the slide is not exactly professional either. But he knew the gun so he kept shooting and kept racking.
He was already a suspect at that point, his real ID also would have gotten him detained.
And no digital money. Cash only!
Or just get a LEO badge then you don’t have to go through all of that.
Holy shit if people have to be told this then we’re fucking doomed.
Lol remember all the memes about how this is a true professional
Yeah I remember the people calling that out for being silly.
If we’re giving notes being caught with the gun and the manifesto also bad. And then going to sit down and eat at a McDonald’s while on the run. And wearing a mask in Altoona where he probably could have just walked in with his face showing an not gotten caught because the surveillance photos from the NYPD looked so different. And then giving a police officer a fake ID which gave them probable cause for everything…yeah police are going to catch the fake ID…
He’s obviously not a professional hitman. I wonder if NYPD/Feds would have been able to track him down eventually anyway with the evidence left in New York.
Probably not. If he stayed inside no one would have found him
If he plucked his eyebrows, he’d still be a free man today.
Rarely do I actually laugh audibly to a comment.
Not that I’m advocating anything, but it certainly does make sense to have a change of clothes stashed nearby to change your appearance rather quickly. Just need an effective means of discarding them (maybe set it on fire inside a dumpster? I dunno).
Just throw them in a random dumpster inside a big food bag. Setting it on fire is no good. Don’t start any fires. Hell put them in a donation box, even better.
Yeah, like maybe have some barrels ready with flammable material inside. Hash tag planning. 🤪
Protip: It’s called Gray Man and there’s more to it so get educated and practice.🙂
Yup. This is also why protestors are encouraged to wear plain black clothes, like a hoodie, gloves, sunglasses, mask, and black jeans. When everyone is wearing nearly identical clothes, it introduces a lot of reasonable doubt in any resulting security camera footage. It’s called Black Bloc.
Don’t wear black block if you’re not prepared to be harassed though. Instead wear something theoretically identifiable but bland. Gray shirt, blue jeans, no jewelry, identifiable tattoos covered… You want to look like just another person so that when you walk away nobody thinks you look like a protestor
And for the love of fuck don’t wear black block while committing solo crimes. It’s about “you just described a lot of people here”
Explain to me how you chose which words to capitalize.
I believe he’s half cummings.
edward believed that things of Importance should be capitalized to emphasize what he was saying and that the start of a sentence or pronouns Don’t need to be capitalized if not used in a way of importance.
Mostly I just wanted to ejaculate these words onto screen to make a cummings joke though…
I’ma guess Autocorrect. That shit Be weird sometimes.
In my deleted comment that I can’t see?
Cash.
Yes lots of cash. Preferably washed. (Large bill from bank broken into a smaller set of bills that didn’t come out of the atm, since banks can track serial numbers)
One can only learn and do better next time.
Or be censored by these US government paid mods ;)
People need to just stop discussing Minecraft on .world.
we need to inspire more people to play minecraft
But it’s fun to get them all hot and bothered.
What’s your advice for getting out of the city without being tracked?
Well, don’t carry a phone. Walk. Change your clothes a few times. Add glasses, a new hat. That kinda stuff. You could also go camp out in the woods until you know what the news coverage is.
He got out. He simply got on a bus. That wasn’t the problem. It was getting in that was the problem, that’s where his face was captured on camera. As to how to solve that… You’re on your own for that.
In the first photos to come out, i thought his eyebrows were fake and thought, fuck this guy went the extra mile, but i guess they were real and he did just enough to do what he planned and not a lot extra
What are your notes?
It really something to post online
If I ever did something crazy, I’d thoroughly burn those clothes when I’m done.
Good idea
Walmart generic Russel hoodie
MAGA hat. Orthopedic shoes. Inflatable belly to change your shape.
