1. Taught school for years. Couldn't get teenagers to write ONE PAGE about anything. How did this 18-year-old write 180 pages with apparently reasonable grammar and spelling about anything? THAT needs to be answered.
2. Who taught him how to armor up? Who taught him how to stand steady in the face of return fire while taking hits and kill the guard? Even adult men have difficulty doing that.
3. Who counseled him on going 200 miles to reconnaissance the store before acting? And, then drive BACK home to prepare and return another 200 miles? So, in total 600 miles? Who paid for all of that gasoline? An 18-year-old doing that? Really?
Who influenced him to kill INNOCENT people instead of attacking the perpetrators of our problems, GOVERNMENT people? What made him think folks in a TOPS grocery store were the source of his problems? Even McVeigh and Nichols, as wrong as they were, knew way back then to go after government boys.
4. If this guy were REALLY concerned about the country and where it is headed, why would he do something that would put people at each other's throats, play into the hands of the radical leftists and endanger everyone here even more?
Almost none of this makes any sense at all. The authorities are not telling us anything about what is really going on. And, when radical leftists coordinate and plan attacks on conservatives at different venues, almost nothing is done about it. The whole thing stinks.
1. He copy-pasted most of his manifesto from the manifesto of Tarrant (Christchurch NZ mosque shooter) who in turn drew his inspiration from Breivik (Swedish massacre). I’ve read that most of the pages are taken up with photos and sick memes he got from 4chan.
2. Not sure about stand steady part, but he got lots of instruction on the rest from 4chan and copying his “hero” mass shooters like Tarrant, Breivik (Swedish massacre) and Crusius (El Paso Wal-Mart shooter). He and his only friend regularly went to a range and “state lands” to shoot targets.
3. He was by all accounts a very smart kid and he also had the advice and info on 4chan and Discord and examples of his “heroes”. He was obsessed for a long time with his plan and getting every detail right. In his diary he wrote about getting up the money for the “attack” by buying and selling silver coins, selling his jackets on ebay, etc. He had a job at a store for awhile, too.
He wasn’t inspired by or interested in McVeigh and Nichols. He was copying his “heroes” named above. He claimed he hoped to terrorize non-whites into leaving the country. No, it doesn’t make any sense. Crazy people rarely do.
4. He had serious mental problems and was totally sucked into the conspiracy theory madness he found on 4chan. The critical thinking skills required to work out the consequences you outlined were probably beyond him. Or maybe he actually wanted that result. Tarrant hoped his mass shooting would cause enactment of a gun ban in the US and reaction against the ban resulting in civil war.
To get an idea how sick the “channers” on 4chan are and 8chan were, read this about Tarrant’s mass shooting:
Payton Gendron wrote several times in his diary that whenever he had doubts about actually carrying out the attack, wondered if he shouldn’t do it or whether he was mentally ill, he would go to 4chan and realize it was “the only way” etc.
8chan was taken down after the Christchurch mass shooting inspired two back-to-back mass shootings in El Paso and Dayton (the Dayton shooter was an antifa admirer, so it quickly down the memory hole). It’s now 8kun. Where all the Q nonsense originated.
