    As much as I dislike them calling, I can’t really be mad at someone who’s making minimum or near-minimum wage for being tempted by the reward money. There’s a good chance they’re living paycheck to paycheck.

        Have a little faith in humanity? If it’s a 19 year old working through college that’s basically their whole 4 year tuition and them some in that area

          Didn’t say I didn’t have faith. But the likelihood they will have much in a years’ time is extremely low.

          You must not know how much tuition is. That’ll cover a year at a place like NYU. Maybe 2 years for an out-of state school.

        Having all the incriminating evidence on him seems… Extremely unlikely considering the rest of what we know about the situation.

        That’s the type of shit you’d expect from desperate police planting evidence. Planting a random suppressor, a supposedly “phantom” 3d printed gun, and a manifesto isn’t exactly hard. Only the gun could possibly be directly traced to the bullets fired, and that’s not something they can test in the field.

        Not saying that’s necessarily the case here, but this would not be the first time law enforcement, including the FBI, planted evidence because of outside pressures.
