Anytime any killing takes place, there's a not insignificant number of kooks taking credit for it. People want to feel important and noticed. In this case its even more likely since the majority of the US hates insurance companies and sympathizes with the killing, so anyone taking credit for it also gets positive attention.
Cops don't publicize all the tips they get that they rejected, because it sows doubt. IMO the NYPD goofed and let the real killer slip away, so they were scrambling to find someone who fit the bill, that they could try in the media / court of public opinion.
I don't understand the willingness of anyone to believe the NYPD, that someone who so meticulously planned this as to get away from one of the most surveilled areas in the country, isn't going to ditch all the evidence immediately after, and stupidly bring a backpack full of fake ids and a 3d gun into public a week later. I'm not buying it.
Definitely, no matter how you put it the official story is incredibly suspect.
If the gun and other evidence was not planted, then it implies Luigi wanted to be arrested. To what end? I don't know. But I too find it incredibly hard to believe the shooter just happened to lose half his brain cells while taking the bus out of NYC, but that's exactly what the cops are asking us to believe.
