    He’s got patsy energy for sure. It’s the not ditching the gun thing that’s really bothering me columbo, I’ve never even been there and I’m absolutely confident I could dissappear a gun in NYC. Toss it in the river or any random storm drain and they’d have to sift through a big pile of other guns. Seems like something you’d only do if you wanted to get caught, but if that were the case you’d probably confess. Regardless I see absolutely no advantage to us for this guy to be seen as already guilty in the public eye, if he wasn’t hot it would probably have helped. Now people want it to be him.

      Oh I think if it was him, the gun is 100% planted still. But I find it somewhat as likely that it wasn’t him, because why would an assassin who took as many precautions as they did, only travel 1 state away?

        The tune changed from ‘this guy may have been a pro’ to ‘guy they found at an icky dees with all the evidence needed to arrest on him one state over almost a full week later’. Also I default to not trusting the cops and feds when there’s any doubt at all as to the guilt of someone arrested as well as the fact that I really hope the real killer is still out there. Best twist would be Luigi is intentionally taking the heat. If that’s the case I will lionize.

          You’re missing my point entirely. I believe that if this really was the guy, then that gun must have been planted because the FBI must have used illegal methods to track him down (this is parallel construction, using illegal methods to build a case that can then be laundered via convenient stories like the McD’s snitch) and just planted the gun to seal the deal.

          If it’s not planted, and this guy really did it, then I don’t think this is a matter of the cops doing their job well. If all that is true, then they didn’t catch him at all, he turned himself in.

      That and not changing jackets. Have you seen how many jackets this man owns? You’re telling me he wouldn’t have another one in his backpack?
