    Exactly. Looks a lot like they found the gun near the scene of the crime, and then planted it in his backpack. That makes a lot more sense than him hauling it and an incriminating manifesto with him for several days. If he wanted to do the manifesto thing he’d have left it at the scene of the crime. None of that evidence makes sense.

      I mean, if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is…

      It’s very hard to believe this guy just had all the evidence a prosecutor could want, literally in a nice little bag and he was just fucking taking it a long on a bus journey.

      It might have happened, but cops fucking lie.

      If cops didn’t plant evidence, we wouldn’t have to have laws about chain of custody. Rich people get off on tiny loopholes all the time, this is a foundational principle of our legal system.
