    let me guess, despite throwing the weapon down, he still has the gun on him, is wearing the exact same clothes, and was carrying a convenient manifesto along with a tattoo of the crime scene on his back.

    Dude was able to evade the FBI for nearly 48 hours and he’s still hanging out in Utah?

    right.

      It is very likely that he fully expected to have been killed after the shooting, and so he didn’t have a long-term plan for survival.

      Edit: Now that they’ve caught him, it seems he did have a plan: to carry the secret into old age. So then he immediately went and started telling his friends that he did it.

      I was gonna say, that campus is right by a busy freeway. He could’ve had dinner in Vegas before breaking for Mexico

      You’re right about part of it. They’re saying the clothes he was wearing when arrested were consistent.

      You know, jeans, a T-shirt, and a hat.
