Not a manifesto. Manifestos are published by the author. We have no way of knowing who authored that police officer's fever dream, but since the police published it, it wasn't written by Luigi. Also the language and grammar are consistent with the lack of education that cops receive, not the level of education that Luigi received.
Just because someone has a college degree doesn't mean that they can write for shit.
He had reddit and Goodreads profiles, where he left comments and book reviews which might be used to judge his writing style (also his own handwriting may be analysed, comparing it to that of the manifesto). Although the "manifesto" is very short so maybe not enough language treaits could be extrapolated from it.
They called it a manifesto, which is why I used the term. If it's real, he was basically just carrying around a written confession in his backpack just to make the cops' jobs easier, I guess.
Fair nuff
