    I’m going to bet the guy manifested a car with his mental powers in an already-crashed state and then mind-wiped the guards and any witnesses into believing they saw it crash after altering the CCTV footage with his will.

      Lol yep. It cracks me up when people think just because they aren’t going to one extreme or the other with their speculation that they aren’t still engaging in wild speculation. That’s not how it works.

              Nah. This whole discussion is pointless. I don’t need to argue with you about your imagination.

        They specifically said they were speculating.

          How could it ever be helpful to make up random guesses about a news article?

            This is an Internet comments section. If you’re expecting everything to be 100% productive discussion, you’re going to have a bad time.

          They actually didn’t “specifically” say that. At all. Until editing their comment an hour after being called out.

            They said “I’m going to bet”. That’s literal speculation.

              Okay so you clearly do not know what the words specific and literal mean. Got it.

        Shouldn’t you delete this post since there’s nothing to be discussed about the situation?

            About as excellent as your post that nobody is allowed to discuss for some odd reason.
