My Opinion On The Motive Of The Shooter

[new wave liberal]

Sadly many who see a minority or female in a position have this idea that they are unqualified.

It's quite sad.

It heartbreaking.

In 1964 LBJ set up a in-house committee with a fired CIA director as a member, and Gay Edgar Hoover running the show. He did this because Congress was initiating their own, and he snipped that in the bud. That was bad enough, but didn't show the zapruder film for 10 years, and then they sealed the records for 75 years to finish off the play. No, that doesn't tend to generate confidence, especially in folks that remember it. These new people might have more tolerance for such things now.

Plain and simple, he didn't want either Trump or Biden to be the nominees. Just my current theory.

Have to disagree. I’ve seen nothing about him disliking Biden or Democrats. His school piers said he hated only Trump and Republicans. It’s why his party affiliation is irrelevant. He joined because his parents were Republicans. Most kids do when 18.

1. He was one of the many who disliked both candidates, both Biden and Trump, or maybe just both parties

2. He did searches as to where both Trump and Biden would be and when

3. Trump was the easiest first target so Trump got to go first, and, Biden might just be removed from the ticket anyway (or maybe even if Biden was replaced on the ticket he felt he still had a job to do, due to a dislike of both parties (his father was registered as a Libertarian))

4. The shooter recently posted on Steam that July 13th would be his "premier", indicating that he possibly expected the show to go on after Trump, especially considering he told his bosses he needed Saturday off and told his co-workers he would be back to work Sunday.

He was hopelessly naive if he really thought he would have a chance at a second target, assuming he lived through the first one and the subsequent man-hunt. Expect Quid Pro to show up behind glass, if he does.

Biden has had very few failures.

Just one, really: his presidency.

Probably because it isn't him.

They didn't even have to be on top, just watch to make sure no one climbed up onto the roof. How hard could that be?

Pretty hard, when they don't staff enough police officers to do it.

None of his school peers said he hated Trump and Republicans. In fact, one said the kid was definitely conservative. His Parents weren't even Republicans. His mother was a registered Democrat and his father was registered as a Libertarian.

Most everyone is stupid when they are 20.

Liar. You just throw stuff out there.
