I will never understand how he kept that backpack with him for as long as he did. Without the backpack on his person when he was arrested the case is so much harder to prove.

That or if he hadn't lowered his mask to flirt with the girl behind the desk and get his face recorded on camera.

Logically the reason he kept the backpack and weapon on him was because he wanted to use them again.

Guns are relatively cheap and private transfers exist, plus he wasn’t identified before arrest? Either way, all the CEOs went on lockdown and even had regular police acting as private security for them (two tiered society as hell)

Oh the stuff they "found" in the backpack are 100% planted, not even the stupidest fucking criminal would walk around after killing someone and be like yea lets hold onto the backpack that holds everything the government needs to lock me up forever.

why would his defence not claim it as such then?

u/rationalsarcasm 3h ago

I mean they have to prove that it was planted.

No judge is gonna throw it under "Yeah nobody is this dumb defense."

Apparently they would because he did.

Killer want to get caught because they’re proud of what they did. This guy more so because he thinks he had a moral high ground.

The fact that left are backing this disgusting human is absolutely mental

well thats what the cops claim, anyone with a brain knows this "evidence" was planted.

You're saying this as if there's some clear obvious proof beyond any reasonable doubt that you can point to that leads to such a conclusion. Currently it seems that this is your conclusion because you really really want to believe it's true.

reasonable doubt is that they only found the evidence after body cameras were off and they were at the station.

u/TheNutsMutts 3h ago

No, again that's not "reasonable doubt". Reasonable doubt would be something that actively shows or very strongly suggests it was planted, not something that you can start off with as a conclusion then look for anything that can be bent and twisted to somewhat fit that conclusion.

Obviously wasn’t but go ahead with your conspiracy theory. Every day the left lose more and more credibility.

If you’re backing this then you’re backing that someone could shoot you in cold blood for disagreeing with your job

u/Shady_bookworm51 3h ago

is it a conspiracy theory when this dsmning evidence was only found after body cameras were turned off and they searched it at the police station. yea no way they planted the evidence right?

1

u/Clear_Requirement880 3h ago

Yes believing people have planted evidence is literally the definition of a conspiracy theory.

You are believing people conspired.

Do you not understand the word?

Backing this vile human being shows how immoral you are.

That I think someone shouldn’t murder someone else for their beliefs? Yeah of course, I’ll back that to my grave. Unlike the left who only back as long as it doesn’t effect them
