The dumbass was stupid enough to give a _video_ interview, from which his location could likely be identified. 4chan found Shia LaBeouf's flag from far less, and I can only assume the FBI is better at this than 4chan. If you read more about him (which I'm sure you have), you'll see that this is not a coincidence. The guy has been leaving a trail of chaos behind him for most of his adult life.

_Almost_ is the operative word. Quite a few believe the shit the "shitposters" post. Lacking life experience and historical perspective, they're trying to usher a future in which they themselves would be the first to go. This is what happened in Russia a hundred years ago: 6 months before the revolution Vladimir Lenin gave a lecture in Zurich in which he said he was sure the revolution would not happen in his lifetime. So in a way Lenin too was a "shitposter", who, 6 months before, believed shitposting would not have consequences. And then the revolution did happen. And then Lenin eliminated most of the useful idiots, as well as a lot of his higher level comrades - no one wants competition.
This is due to a confluence of economic stress caused by WW1, some foreign cash from Germany, and (illegal) newspapers, printed abroad, then brought over the border and distributed. Interestingly, Lenin was radicalized by the execution of his brother Aleksandr Ulyanov, for the attempted assassination of Tsar Alexander the Third.
- baryphonic 6y agoI'm pretty sure 4chan found Reinoehl's identity before the Vice interview. Danielson was murdered on Saturday evening, 4chan had a possible ID for Reinoehl sometime Sunday, and then the interview + his death were later in the week.
