Another Freeper (can’t remember where) came up with the idea that the royal Arab who was wounded in the explosion (visited by Mooch) was supposed to be the get-away guy, and the two mules were stranded.
They didn’t know what to do - no backup plan.
Even without a backup plan, to launch out into a convenience store robbery, LEO murder, and thus make yourself a target seems odd. Although, maybe that was part of the plan: to have themselves taken out by violence (suicide). They had to have more than one connection otherwise. This is part of the story I have yet to see brought to light. I certainly am NOT holding my breath when it comes to US Media reporting the facts. I believe there are competent experts who are looking into every angle of this.
Why the hell would SheBangs visit a suspect in the hospital, anyway? Did she visit the other victims?
