I’m gonna put on my tinfoil hat and say “he’s not the guy”. My guess is they found someone who LOOKS like him, and want to fasttrack the case to calm the investor class down. Look at the big “therapy” call Kathy Hochul just put together with a bunch of NY CEOs - they’re terrified. 9/11 proved to them they aren’t invulnerable to random acts of violence, and now this proves to them they’re not even UNTOUCHABLE by someone committed. They’re asking for state-level protections, National Guard-style stuff IIRC, round-the-clock guards at their houses and workplaces. This is conjuring up the early 1900s again, when ACTUAL anarchists and socialists simply shot the owner of the factory in the head at his home, or at his job, or tried to bomb them on their way to get lunch.
