You don’t believe a 26 year old Ivy League communist leftist was smart enough to ditch the firearm and fake id’s in 4 days before being caught? You give communists too much credit. The ballistics from the firearm and his DNA makes this an open and shut case. Bring back firing squads to save the American tax payer their hard earned money!
