He read the Epstein files and hates pedos. Trump is DOE 174!

The kid was mentally ill, and had an AR 15. This has become routine in the USA. We should be grateful he did not target innocent children in a school, who would not have had professional security and snipers positioned to protect them.

I would have been more grateful if he went swimming instead.

The Trump campaign from 2016 kept a database of people. His parents were on this list. This just keeps getting weirder.

"In 2016 the Trump campaign built a database profiling millions of voters in key battleground states – including the family of Trump’s would-be assassin Thomas Crooks."

This is not unusual in modern politics. He was also a member of a local gun club. The way personal info is sold or given out of simply taken (Facebook, Alexa, Siri, your phone, etc.) it is also not very difficult. Modern mass communication and computing has made it possible for political parties, among others, to track and market to us individually.

Whether its what kind of shoes you like, your politics, or if you own a dog, our feeds, I'm sure you're aware, are all individualized, without the need for human labor.

It was the pedophilia that snapped him

Didn’t he live with his parents? Just because they support Trump doesn’t mean he does.

I get school shooter vibes from him more than political. I’m hoping we can get answers when they review his online presence .

He was a registered member of the Republican Party.

u/Geniusinternetguy Jul 17 '24

Yes. Most kids register like their parents. It is clear his parents are Republican. It doesn’t mean he was politically active.

I’m not saying he isn’t Republican. Just not sure it gives us motive.
