agreed why would the dude be sitting in a mcdonalds with all his evidence on him days later instead of hiding in a hole in the woods eating canned goods for a few months until the heat dies down. i bet the real shooter is doing exactly that, and that's why they can't catch him. but they're terrified that if they don't show the public that the killer didn't get away with it then it will show people how vulnerable the so-called "elite" really are.  so they pretend they caught the guy, to save face. they probably had plans in place in case something like this happened. why would an actor take that heat, i don't know. fame, threats, promises of wealth, cult like devotion who knows. but it makes sense they would do this. what would stop them from doing this? morality? lol. getting caught? they've been caught doing worse.
