    The handwritten manifesto found on the person of the man detained in Altoona criticized health care companies for putting profits above care, according to a senior law enforcement official.

    The man who was detained at McDonald’s showed the police the same fake New Jersey identification that the man believed to be the gunman presented when he checked into a hostel on the Upper West Side of Manhattan on Nov. 24, a senior law enforcement official said.

    Oh shit it’s him.

      If he didn’t ditch the gun, fake ID’s, and a smoking gun manifesto, this guy isn’t that bright.

          NYPD probably found the gun and id’s in the backpack found in central park and planted it on this guy so they could claim victory

          The gun with a silencer and the ID are going to net him a couple of years regardless. No one would risk that just as a diversion.

        He’s going to be villified badly by the media.

        They’ll probably give him a mental health diagnosis so they can argue he wasn’t sane. It would be too dangerous for them to accept him as sane.

        Kind of like Kacyznski’s political diagnosis of “schizophrenia” after he killed the CEO of a logging company. Which was called a “political diagnosis” by his post-trial prisoner psychiatrist.

          If he’s put even a single toe out of line in the past, it’ll be dissected in the media.

      News on NYC TV says that NYC cops and district attorneys are making all speed to Altoona. When you get the DA out of his office…
