Speaker 1: as Mangioni's manifesto. In one note, dated in August, just

10
00:00:38,560 --> 00:00:42,839

16
00:01:02,840 --> 00:01:09,000
Speaker 1: targeted scientists with mailbombs. Mangioni allegedly remarked Normys categorize him

17
00:01:09,080 --> 00:01:12,880
Speaker 1: as an insane serial killer, but they dismiss his great ideas.

18
00:01:13,520 --> 00:01:16,399
Speaker 1: In a separate note directed quote to the Feds, which

19
00:01:16,480 --> 00:01:20,919

20
00:01:21,040 --> 00:01:24,320

21
00:01:24,440 --> 00:01:27,400
Speaker 1: or trauma, but it had to be done. Frankly, these

22

Speaker 1: parasites simply had it coming. In their filing, New York

23
00:01:31,319 --> 00:01:35,240
Speaker 1: prosecutors also addressed a defense's motion to dismiss the terrorism

24
00:01:35,360 --> 00:01:39,280

Speaker 1: the case. They stated, if ever there were an open

26
00:01:42,840 --> 00:01:46,240
Speaker 1: and shut case pointing to the defendant's guilt, this case

27
00:01:46,360 --> 00:01:49,520
Speaker 1: is that case. Simply put, one would be hard pressed

28
00:01:49,520 --> 00:01:52,880
Speaker 1: to find a case with such overwhelming evidence of guilt

29
00:01:53,280 --> 00:01:56,279

30

Speaker 1: its timing, its location, and the markings left on the

33
00:02:07,000 --> 00:02:10,240
Speaker 1: ballistics all made it clear that the defendant's intent was

34
00:02:10,440 --> 00:02:14,000
Speaker 1: not to settle a personal vendetta or to steal something

35
00:02:14,360 --> 00:02:17,880
Speaker 1: but to violently broadcast a social and political message to

Speaker 1: he said. Authorities noted that while the woman had access

77
00:04:49,000 --> 00:04:52,400

Speaker 1: assistants and asking them to call nine to one one.

82
00:05:06,080 --> 00:05:08,520
Speaker 1: Due to the vague nature of the message, police needed

83
00:05:08,520 --> 00:05:12,720
Speaker 1: several days to fully understand the situation. On August twenty five,

84
00:05:12,800 --> 00:05:15,760

Speaker 1: treated by a nurse. Yet authorities noted that he never

91
00:05:34,320 --> 00:05:38,320
Speaker 1: appeared to be experiencing a genuine medical emergency. It was

92
00:05:38,360 --> 00:05:40,680
Speaker 1: all just a game for him. Whack Steff remarked to

93
00:05:40,720 --> 00:05:43,920
Speaker 1: the Los Angeles Times, he truly sees himself as a

94
00:05:44,000 --> 00:05:47,320
Speaker 1: victim in this situation, but for now he is locked

95
00:05:47,320 --> 00:05:49,880
