Anyone think it’s strange that this anti-corporate Kaczynski fan was eating at a McDonald’s?

Not really

That’s true. It’s the same crowd that posts about oppression from phones made by child slaves.

That argument doesn't really play out. Organized rebellions, radicals, terrorists and crackpots have a lot in common with everyone else in that they aren't universally consistent with living out their values.

I get his position. It is informed by a situation much worse than most people ever deal with, but we’ve dealt with similar runarounds - a different and contradictory story every time you talk to them. It’s incredibly frustrating even when it’s relatively minor health issues. Couple extreme suffering with it and one can understand his anger. Still, not how he expressed it. This kid had a top education and could have chosen to fight within the law.

Agreed, and keeping the IDs and gun, it's as if he wanted to be caught, but also wanted to be snarky by leaving his backpack in Central Park with the monopoly money. Part of me thinks he snapped a bit after his back surgery and/or meds, or mushrooms. Or maybe watching too much Mr. Robot or other TV shows that glorify fighting capitalism.

I also wonder, if he kept the gun because he was researching who his next CEO victim might be. I know he was on his laptop in the McDonalds when they approached. All speculation of course.

Maybe he was researching how old you need to be to no longer qualify for a Happy Meal, or how to work the over-complicated drinks machine.
It doesn't really matter. He's just another guy who thinks he can make a difference by killing somebody. Obviously, the only difference he's really made is to the family of the dead CEO.

He was cleaning out the bathrooms at the time otherwise he'd have taken him out single-handed.

My thoughts as well.
