Was he a Republican though ? Maybe joined the party to get access to events where Trump was appearing to carry out the assassination or maybe like the John Lennon shooter a loser who wanted to be remembered for something, anything.Quote:

It seems odd that when everyone and their dug know all what happened, the Guardian is still today referring to the dead man as the 'suspect'. https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/...shooter-motiveQuote:

There won't be much logic in why a 20yo chose to murder the president knowing he'll be killed. Like most cases like this I'll assume mental health problems and easy access to gunsQuote:

Almost certainly the case. Good chance if Biden was in town instead he’d have went for him.Quote:

But you really need to actually read the article before posting.
I read the article. It refers to Crooks as the 'suspect' and as 'alleged' shooter. What is it that you are disputing? :confused:Quote:

I'm saying I don't understand why the Guardian is using this language when the person in question is already dead. What are the obvious legal reasons?Quote:
