#manhunt: unabomber

[spicebiter]

Tbh when it comes to the claim that they've found the insurance ceo shooter I don't believe it for a few reasons. For one they reportedly found a 3d printed gun on the guy they caught and I kinda lol over that because are you joking? First off the gun the shooter used was 1000% not 3d printed and the idea that you would commit such a high profile murder and actively carry another gun, 3d printed or not, unrelated to said murder but highly related to the aim to commit an untraced murder is so bizarre that nah no way i don't believe someone would be that stupid after putting in this much effort. (how to i know for a fact the gun was not 3d printed btw? first of all look at it. second i know that 3d printed guns are TERRIBLE even at short range and can't fire three consecutive shots and if he designed one that could it would be a feat of engineering the rando they arrested is forsure not responsible for)

Second the manifesto, you can't be serious,,, his 'manifesto' was written on the bullets. This is not some unabomber shit, it's so extremely clean cut that the only person who can't seem to grock it accurately is ben fucking shapiro.

Third and listen maybe this is kinda just me being naive or hopeful but the idea that a guy with clear motive like this would be caught in a mcdonalds of all places is wild to me. Dude shoots an insurance ceo, flees a *single state* away and goes to eat at the #1 fast food chain in the world days after the crime when an international manhunt for him has been publicly announced. Either this guy is on track to get his picture published next to the definition for 'idiot savant' or the american police force has arrested a man who could vaguely be the perpetrator and planted evidence so they wouldn't have a cold case- the exact thing they might want to do for such a high profile case that has had exactly 0 solid leads since the shooting occurred and has had them very clearly fumbling. He's not guilty just because he's been arrested and anyone who's acting so certain that its definitely the guy is a rube in my book. I'm at least waiting for something that puts me far beyond a reasonable doubt

Who Is Allison Moore?: A Disney's Wish Mystery

OK, this is a little off the rails and random but this has been driving me crazy since I looked into it last night.

So, Disney's 100th Anniversary movie Wish is coming out soon and people have had a lot of hot takes about it so I wanted to do some digging. As part of that, I looked at the writers and two people have a "Screenplay by" credit: Jennifer Lee and Allison Moore.

Jennifer Lee, of course, wrote Frozen--their biggest princess hit in the modern era so that makes total sense to me. If you're coming out with a new princess movie for the big centennial of course you'd tap her. But I'd never heard of Allison, and when you look at her name on Wikipedia:

No blue link. So I headed to IMDB to check out her credits, figuring maybe she was some hot new talent recently promoted from within who did storyboards on some recent projects like Moana or something. But when I went to her IMDB page, this is what I found (after a brief mix-up with a Dexter's Lab actress):

Her Producer credits come up first and...huh. That's a lot of adult live action TV projects. Well, maybe her Writing credits are where this starts to make sense:

What? That can't be right, can it? The only vaguely Disney-esque thing on that credit list is Beauty and the Beast and, to be clear, that is a CW reboot of a 1987 procedural with the logline, "A beautiful detective falls in love with an ex-soldier who goes into hiding from the secret government organization that turned him into a mechanically charged beast." And she wrote two episodes on it.

And look at Disney's official page about Wish!

Everyone else on this page has credits that make sense--Frozen, Frozen 2, Raya, Encanto. And the two credits they list for Allison?

Night Sky and Manhunt.

Night Sky, an Amazon Prime show that she wrote one episode for and was cancelled after one season. And Manhunt--and show about hunting the UNABOMBER--that ran for two seasons and that she wrote two episodes for. Those are her two credits that they put up there next to Frozen and Encanto.

I have been scouring the internet trying to figure out who this woman is and how she got this job and I have come up *empty*. This is the big 100th anniversary movie! Why would they have one of the two screenplay writers be someone who seemingly has never done something like this before??? Like, I understand that not having done something before doesn't mean you can't do a good job, but it usually means you don't get the keys to the biggest most anticipated projects in the company's history!

They presumably could have gotten anyone they wanted for this and they picked this person and I have zero clue why and it's driving me crazy. If anyone has ANY information that could illuminate this at ALL--an interview, a social media post, gossip from your cousin who's a gofer at Disney--please let me know because I feel like I'm going full Pepe Silvia over this.

12/26 Edit: A SMALL UPDATE IS HERE!

[lamphous2]

the unabomber series manhunt is a very silly piece of fbi fanfiction but I have to say, this little white man (sam worthington slaygent of the month?) is EXCEPTIONALLY autistic, and I'm obsessed with him. he's already missed a sexual inneundo and been told he's possibly too literal. need to know if the real man is like this or if it really is 100% pure tv autism. also this script is incredibly poorly written and I'm also obsessed with it

[yourneighborhoodwlw]

omg we share a lot of the same taste in shows and music! do you have any more crime documentaries recs outside of the ones you listed? i’m trying to build up a summer watch list and the ones you listed were already on my list!

oooooooh I SURE DO

manhunt: unabomber is fantastic. always my number one recommendation. the creation of forensic linguistics is so interesting. also loved the second series they made more recently, manhunt: deadly games. so good. i think they took them off of netflix though which is dumb.

dont fuck with cats is a classic (i remember it blowing up in 2020) but the ending isn't the most satisfying

monsters (the menendez brothers) had me hooked too but ive heard they didn't exactly do the family justice.

monster: the jeffrey dahmer story was freaky as fuck but a super good watch.

painkiller was amazing (about the pharmaceutical scene and opiate addictions)

i watched escape at dannemora a few months ago and it was really entertaining! not a docuseries per se but based on true events.

i have a background in psychology so i also LOVEEEEE watching criminal psychology videos and interrogation breakdowns on youtube

[donnerpartyofone]

I alwats think about this, it's one of the most indelible images in American art history and we never talk about who even drew it.

Jacob Graham: Left-wing anarchist jailed for 13 years over terror offences after declaring he wanted to kill at least 50 people

The security services uncovered Jacob Graham's activity as part of an investigation into the purchase of chemicals online, it can be disclosed.

By Duncan Gardham, Tuesday 19 March 2024 09:17 UK

A left-wing anarchist has been jailed for 13 years for preparing acts of terrorism by compiling and sharing a bomb-making manual, after declaring he wanted to kill at least 50 people.

Jacob Graham, 20, from Norris Green, Liverpool, dedicated his manual, called the "Freedom Encyclopaedia", to "misfits, social nobodies, anarchists, [and] terrorists past and future, who want to fight for freedom against the government".

The judge said the college student was a "dangerous young man", adding that Graham described himself "as the first UK home-grown terrorist".

The security services uncovered Graham's activity as part of an investigation into the purchase of chemicals online, it can be disclosed.

When they raided the home he shared with his mother and sister, they discovered he had filmed bomb-making experiments in his back garden and buried supplies in a secret woodland hide in Formby, Merseyside.

In a document called "My Plan", Graham wrote he wanted to kill at least 50 people by attacking government buildings and politicians' houses.

He also made 138 videos, to be released on the day of an attack, in which he demonstrated explosives and talked about "Judgement Day" and "standing up for working-class people".

On a wall in his bedroom, Graham had printed out a picture of a car bomb exploding with the words: "Make politicians afraid to start their cars again."

'Destro the Destroyer'

Graham, a computer science student, used the name "Destro the Destroyer" and communicated with like-minded extremists using a gaming platform called Discord.

On another platform called Telegram, he exchanged messages with others who shared his hatred of government in groups called Earth Militia, Total Earth Liberation and Neo Luddite Action.

Sentencing him to 13 years in a young offenders institution, with five years on extended licence, the judge, Mr Justice Goose, said those who knew Graham believed he was an "ordinary young man" with an interest in fireworks, the military and outdoor pursuits.

"In reality, however, you are a dangerous young man, you described yourself as the first UK home-grown terrorist," the judge added.

Graham was the administrator for a number of chatrooms on the encrypted Telegram app, including one called Total Earth Liberation Group, with 150 members, into which he shared his bomb-making manual.

Graham told police he was "left-wing" but "more like an anarchist", adding: "I don't like the idea of a central control and I don't really like the monarchy."

His ideal government would be the size of "Merseyside or Liverpool", he said, adding he supported the Green Party and was an "environmentalist" who did not like the way "corporations act and how they damage the Earth".

He was found guilty by a jury on 23 February of one count of the preparation of terrorist acts, four counts of possession of information for terrorist purposes and two of dissemination of a terrorist publication, between May 2022 and May 2023.

Graham was cleared of one count of preparation of terrorist acts, following the five-week trial.

"I think it is fair to say I was quite anti-government," he told his trial.

"I didn't agree with the idea of it - the way certain things were handled, the pandemic, the cost of living. I didn't agree with a group of small people being able to make decisions that affect a mass."

The court heard Graham came to idolise an American terrorist called Theodore Kaczynski - known as the Unabomber - after watching a Netflix series called Manhunt, and pledged to "finish what he started".

From a remote cabin in Montana, Kaczynski carried out a 17-year mail bombing campaign, in which he targeted technology academics at universities, killing three people and injuring 23.

In his document "My Plan", which Graham started in May 2022, he stated that he was planning a bombing campaign that would end in a shooting spree.

"I am going to attack government buildings, politicians [sic] houses, mass murder those who think it is ok to hide their wrong doings [sic] behind money and power but you cannot hide from me. I am aiming for at least 50 deceased and more injured. Any more is a blessing," he wrote.

"I have constant anger, I am a ticking timebomb. I am not sorry for nothing."

Graham made video diaries and said in one: "I've got everything I need to start my revolution."

'Most of us can't afford to heat our homes... there needs to be someone to fix this'

In a video on 21 June, Graham took out a machete with a red handle and tapped the blade, saying: "Can't end my life yet, I have so much carnage to commit."

In another video made in his bedroom on 9 August, he said: "If terrorism is standing up for what you think is right, standing up for the working class people of this country, most of us can't afford to heat our homes or afford food, there needs to be someone to fix this problem. It is my responsibility to do this."

He added: "I will be a homegrown terrorist because I was born on British soil. If they want to call me a justice warrior or a hero, call me that. If they want to call me scum, call me that because I won't be here to listen to all of it."

In another video he threatened to attack Hugh Baird College, which he attended, saying: "I'm f****** ready, f****** bring it, I don't care, I'll kill every single last one of them."

Graham had downloaded a compendium of terrorist publications including the Mujahideen Handbook and the White Resistance Manual, which he stored in a folder called "Alexandria" after the fabled ancient library.

He told his trial he felt like a character in a James Bond or Mission Impossible film or The Last Of Us, a post-apocalyptic TV show.

He said he was "doomsday prepping" for "some sort of possible invasion, civil war, martial law, natural disasters, solar flares, floods, things like that."
