    Conspiracy time:

    What if it’s a duo / group and they intentionally got someone caught who will have a rock solid alibi after letting investigators waste days on him, but also getting other bits and pieces of message out the entire time?

      I think this is about as likely as other conspiracy theories: not at all.

      We’re going to find out that he’s just a guy. Which is disheartening when we imagine someone coming along and saving us and setting right all the wrongs.

      But also he’s just a guy. I’m not saying killing is the way forward, but he inspires the belief that we can change the world ourselves. We don’t just live in a world controlled by the rich or shadowy conspiracies; we live in a world where we can have an impact.

        No need to skip anything; they aren’t themselves allowed to spy on their own citizens, but if any of the other eyes does, then they can share the info. It’s been like that from the beginning.
