Just saying there's reason to think he's not your average 22 yo dude, intelligence-wise, even if a lot of things he did were pretty damn dumb. In particular, murdering someone, but also many of the things he did afterward. His "plan" most definitely sucked if he thought there was ANY chance he'd get away with it. Luigi Mangione he was most definitely NOT in that regard.
