    All it did was show a lot of people what bullshit a charge of “terrorism” is.

      For the longest time, people thought “terrorism” meant “very evil,” so now that someone who isn’t evil is being labeled a terrorist, they are upset.

      In reality, if you try to change politics with violence against a civilian, you are a terrorist.

            The company’s other employees are, at time of writing, still living, so sending a message to the living doesn’t mean it’s not solely revenge.

                I think it’s entirely plausible that it’s the same guy, but he was tracked down through illegal means and the tip-off was faked. If so, it’s reasonable to think that some or all of the physical evidence was planted in order to have something that would be admissible. If evidence was potentially planted, though, it can’t be used as the basis for a guilty verdict, so even if Mangione did do it, there might not be enough evidence for a conviction.

                  You know. I’ve been having a hard time with both the official story and the that’s not the real shooter theory.

                  Your theory is a third one I haven’t thought of before. He is the shooter but they faked how they found him to protect their secret surveillance capabilities from being reported on. Maybe illegal maybe not, but probably tech they don’t want the public knowing about.

                  This actually sounds most plausible to me.
