You research the life and movements of a C.E.O., prepare a careful plan to kill him, execute it and get away for five-six days even though all the power of the U.S.
years ago-2004 I think, there was a “drug deal gone wrong” in one of our big towns. the killer was driving a black mustang with a red drivers door. despite multiple bolo announcements he got caught when he turned himself in to police in OHIO, a week later..while there are many questions about this latest thing, don’t assume the popo are competent….
It might sound weird, but it's the social media thing that really gets my red-flag alarms ringing.
Perps aren't always the brightest crayons in the box. No, not even ones who show quite a lot of initiative and who do a lot of research beforehand. They might know their target's every routine, but little things like getting rid of evidence ... well, they often don't think THAT far ahead. (If this guy had, we still wouldn't know who he was.)
But when was the last time Facebook -- or any other social media giant -- left a suspect's profile up and publicly available for more than 10 seconds after their name was released? Taking down the profile(s) is SOP after a highly-publicized incident like this.
But this time they left it up. And with a published "manifesto", no less!
Any deviation from SOP must be carefully examined to determine why. If they left the social media profile up, there's a reason, and that reason usually involves some political hay to be made.
My prediction: Whether this guy is the actual perpetrator or not -- and because of the various aforementioned red flags, I'm not 100% convinced yet -- this case is going to be used as a vehicle to attack and prohibit so-called "ghost guns" and other home-assembled firearms and parts kits.
And it will be up to us -- again -- to remind everyone that the guy had a clean record and could have purchased normal, commercially-available firearms; a ban on home-built guns and parts kits wouldn't have changed the outcome one bit.

And you explain this how?

"Major Strasser has been shot... round up the usual suspects."
Unanswered questions are proof only that you have questions without answers. Nothing else.
They are where an investigation starts, not concludes.
However, I do agree. There are a lot of "Hmmmmm..." scratch one's head things going on here. It is a little too convenient.
Perhaps the actual assassin is setting Luigi up?
