It is not possible to set marshal law on the entire USA. Do the math. In addition to a lack of personnel for such a folly it requires a Governor to agree to it. Not gonna happen.

Think of him as as soldier on a mission. He knew about the charity ballgame, he knew about the practice pick up games before the actual event. He knew the what and the where. What he didn’t know was the when. So he staked out the area and waited in ambush style to assassinate congressmen. He didn’t need a room because he was on a mission and his van was his mobile command post. This how these kooks think.

I have no idea if he had help, but it is hard to rent a motel or any place to stay without filling out paperwork.

If you come across an unemployed drifter who's got a few fake passports and a lot of cash to pay for plane tickets and hotel rooms, somebody's probably helping him out.

That was the case with James Earl Ray, who killed Martin Luther King. I never understood why the authorities didn't pursue the conspiracy angle on that one. It seemed pretty obvious to me that Ray got help from somebody.

Fake passports or fake IDs are kind of a red flag that something is going on -- that there's some kind of support or network. This guy couldn't even get fake IDs and a way to pay for things, so I don't think he was getting much help from anybody.

I guess it's possible that this was supposed to be a very low-budget, shoestring operation -- something that would look like the work of a lone nut. But if that were the case, you might think the guy would have done more damage. So the conclusion I draw is that he probably was just a lone nut after all.

I have seen online that he was staying at the YMCA right by the ball park but not sure if that is true.

The story I heard is that he was using the showers at the YMCA and living in his truck or van. Years back, urban Ys used to be places like hotels where men could stay. I can't be 100% sure but the Alexandria Y looks more like a gym with some other programs and services attached, not a hotel which rented out rooms.
