I wonder who at the FBI interviewed him.
I wonder who at the FBI encouraged him...................................
Probably the same guy that helped him buy body armor and a rifle after being institutionalized.
Maybe the writing in the manifesto is just a symptom of mental illness, but it almost seems like someone repeating directions:
-At home I will pick up all my gear and put it in an industrial trash bag, then I will put this bag in a laundry basket and place it on the floor in front of the passenger seat. I will put the three guns (two of them have carriers) behind my seat with a blanket over them to cover it from outsiders. I will also have discord at my house running a live recording of my twitch account.-I eat a large portion of corn beef hash for breakfast
-I will leave my house at 7:30 and travel to Buffalo in regular clothing, should arrive just before 12:00
-At 12:00 I will go inside the store for the second to last time and make sure everything is as expected
-I will follow my planned course of action and make sure I know exactly where to go between 12:00 and 2:45. I will also get some food at McDonalds.
-At 3:30 I will park in the designated gear up spot off of Sherman St and fully gear up. I will take my 3 guns out of their carriers and put them in the passenger seat of my car. I chamber the shotgun and add another in the magazine tube, and do the same to the savage axis. Both of these guns will have the safety engaged. (I may change the location I gear up if I determine it is too risky.)
-At 3:50 I will publish my 8chan post on 8chan.moe, 4chan post on 4chan linked to 8chan post, send links to the discord servers I’m in, and send links to all people on my discord friend list. After I’m done posting I will take the XM-15 and properly wear the sling and place the gun to the left of my legs. I insert the coupled magazines, chamber a round with the M855 mag and make sure the gun is on safe.
-At 3:55 I start the livestream, and make it out onto Sherman St, I will take a right on to High St, take a right onto Johnson St, make it across Best St onto Wohlers Ave, and park on the side of the road just before Riley St.
There have been multiple examples of mass shootings, and even an intentional murder by car during a parade, and each was described as resulting from mental illness. But in this case, supposedly the shooter is a totally sane "white supremacist". Even though his manifesto includes a set of instructions with phrases that seem very unlikely to come from a person's own mind.
This guy was straight out of Central Casting.
