      Cops couldn’t afford to look incompetent. So they did the usual thing and picked a convenient sap to pin it on.

        Honestly, the best argument for his guilt is that he seems a rather inconvenient sap. He has rich parents who can help him pay for representation, he’s charismatic and attractive, and he’s overall a pretty sympathetic figure. Pinning it on some poor, crude guy seems easier.

        The eyebrows and the world’s most suspicious manifesto are definitely not compelling, though.

          Well, they had to pick someone who at least plausibly looked like the shooter.

          Nose is wrong though, too.
