Officials are trying to determine why Crooks opened fire at the rally… even with access to the gunman’s family and friends, his phone and the phones of some of the people he communicated with, investigators have found little information pointing to a motive.

They are seriously out of touch with this country

He's a fascist divisive asshole but we don't understand why someone would try to take him out

[–] radivojevic@discuss.online 27 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Don’t forget convicted “sexual abuser!”

[–] ikidd@lemmy.world 6 points 1 month ago

Oh, and probable pedophile.

[–] RagingRobot@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

Maybe this boy was sexually abused by trump and was trying to get revenge lol

[–] Fedizen@lemmy.world 6 points 1 month ago

he also is a criminal conman. Like it would be interesting to find out his parents went to trump u or something or weren't paid by trump at some point.

There are a million reasons why someone would want to shoot him we just don’t know exactly which one it was.

"we have done nothing, and are all out of ideas. truly a cold case mystery."

Didn't he have something about stopping the Epstein cabal on one of his socials?

[–] kmartburrito@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

That's the only thing that has stood out to me so far

Interesting that the investigators say he had “no strongly held political beliefs”, while people who knew him say he was right leaning, Republican, and of course he was a registered Republican voter.

Is “no strongly held political beliefs” code for “we don’t want to talk about him being Republican”?

Or their definition of “strongly held” is just skewed to the extremes. Sort of like how during the pandemic, any case of COVID that didn’t require a ventilator was considered “mild”. Even if you feel like you’re dying, it’s a triage situation and you don’t need urgent medical attention. So even if your symptoms are debilitating, they aren’t imminently life-threatening and you’re considered mild.

exactly this.

He seems to have had the background of most mass shooters. If it wasn't Trump, it would have been a dozen other people.
