It's America, do they need a motive to carry guns?

Conspiracy theories abound. Republican 'attempts to assassinate the Republican candidate' but miraculously missed from 130m with high velocity rifle, amid high security and is pointed out by members of the crowd.

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.

There would be dozens of witnesses to him being shot by the secret service surely?

They might have been hidden behind a grassy knoll

Not much to go on but here's what the BBC have written about his background.

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-motive

Too early to say. I don't necessarily believe everything that comes out of American polis depts. Has a motive been suggested yet?

I thought you were joking? There is videos of him climbing on the roof, videos of him shooting and videos of him getting his head blown off by snipers. Multiple pictures online minutes after with his head a bloody mess.

The polis were saying earlier today that it's too early to know what his motive for shooting at Trump was. Nothing in his social media history to suggest a reason. Have they decided now?

Usually it has little that makes sense to someone looking in.

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 guns

He shot from outside the venue.

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

Oh well then, lone killer, acting alone, just for the notoriety. Honestly, 'conspiracy theory' gets such a bad rap these days that some of you guys won't even consider the possibility that the Dems might have put him up to it.

It's possible but I think if they had they would have given him a colander to wear on his head to protect him from secret service bullets and to simultaneously receive messages from the White House.

Well. How many more Republicans are actually Democrat sleepers?

Can’t trust anyone. Maybe a purge is required?

Darker or lighter if the lone shooter had succeeded?

Pretty much every he has ever said is abhorrent, apart from his constant slatting of trump that he has obviously ignored now.



JD Vance takes a shot at the UK Labour Party:

“What is the first truly Islamist country to get a nuke? And we were like, maybe it's Iran, maybe Pakistan already kind of counts. And then we finally decided maybe it's actually the UK since Labour took over

Guardian is still today referring to Crooks as the 'suspect' and 'alleged shooter'. Can't be to ensure he gets a fair trial, perhaps they're suffering from the lunatic woke mind virus. Stauffy definitely didn't do his thing for the notoriety, did he?

I read the article. It refers to Crooks as the 'suspect' and as 'alleged' shooter. What is it that you are disputing?

It's obviously legal reasons. There's a dozen videos from the public of him climbing up, shooting and also getting his head blown, one us magazine has a picture of his head with blood pouring out post shooting I would have preferred to have not seen.

I'm actually not sure what it is your saying to be fair though

Until the Feds retrieve the bullets and check against the rifle Crooks had they won’t say categorically he was the shooter.
