      I’m not even sure about that. Him getting caught (I suspect he did so on purpose) has given us so many more memes (see your comment for one!). I think it’s actually better propaganda in this case for him to have been arrested.

        Why 3D print a suppressor if you meant to get arrested for propaganda reasons? Like, God love him, but I think he was just a well meaning smart-dumbass (Valedictorian at a bougie private prep school, Ivy League computer guy that read airport bookstore tier popsci and listened to Rogan-tier broslop? Idk)

          I don’t know. Just easier and cheaper than buying one. Why would he have kept the pistol and suppressor on him instead of disposing of it? Why have the manifesto addressed to the feds on him? Normal people aren’t cut out for living with the guilt of murder/fear of being a fugitive. On the one hand, Luigi obviously put a lot of planning into the adventure, but seemingly very little into the “getting away with it” part. Also, no self-inflicted gunshot, no suicide by cop shootout.
