Some news site: He was also allegedly in possession of writings criticizing the healthcare industry and a ghost gun similar to the one believed to have been used to kill Thompson.

Talking about things being a bit too perfect, what are the odds of a McDonald's worker id-ing him a week later, & he still happens to be in possession of writings & a ghost gun (whatever that is) similar to the one believed to have been used to kill Thompson? At McDonald's. If you're doing all this other subterfuge stuff but you're still carrying the murder weapon around & an incriminating manifesto with you when you go to buy a burger ...

That strains credibility. There might be a plausible explanation, but i haven't heard it yet.

Even if it was not a prosthetic mask, which we can't rule out completely yet, the whole performance plays like a game-generated prosthetic-reality-projection. It kinda smacks of it.

As Dan raised, your mind turns to what is the next fucking invasion of privacy that such events are meant to justify.
