View submission: The UnitedHealthcare Gunman Understands the Surveillance State
It kind of seems like he had a meticulous plan which involved a couple of accidental weak spots. All being related to very fringe aspects that presumably could be overlooked, even by professionals. Cause this is a super abnormal amount of manpower being devoted to this.
Throwing a water bottle away is something we barely think about and easily could have been oversight or him being nervous/hyped and distracted.
The hostile thing also could be a belief he'd arouse more suspicion in that moment remaining masked and discounting they'd go that far back in the timeline anyway, or even just guessing the angle of the camera wrong (you only see a partial face so maybe he thought he was more obscure than he was)
Everything directly related to the murder is super clean and planned, but nobody is perfect
We just gotta hope the NYPD sticks to their longstanding record of being far more imperfect than he's been so far.

That’s my guess as well. He probably didn’t realize how well they could trace his movements. Especially his movements prior to the shooting.
If he was really in town 10 days of course it would be weird if he was masked up the entire time. When he arrived it was in the 50s which isn’t protect your face kinda weather.

Maybe the garbage he threw away wasn't his. He could've picked that up from any litter-box days before and bought the exact same stuff at SB as a red herring.
