So much misdirection, in the hopes that some of it will stick with some people.

I guess some government agency will have to fabricate the contents of his phone to fill us in on the approved juicy details.

You are claiming he had explosives and bombs, I’m not the one making that claim. It is your assertion to prove.

I provided you my sources. You said my sources are untrue. Now you need to tell me why they're untrue.

The pictures of Yearick and the deceased shooterare very interesting. Also, those pictures popped up on the internet within about an hour of the shooting. Where did they come from so fast?

The dweeb probably couldn’t find a Biden sign.

I swear I NEVER saw a Biden sign in a yard in 2020 nor have I seen one this year.

My theory is that the explosives were a back up plan in case the shooter somehow got off that roof alive. His handler may have been planning to blow him to kingdom come. Dead men tell no tales. It’s just like Lee Harvey Oswald.

LIAR. If the source even exits and is not simply made up like the Fake News habitually does. Both parents are registered Democrats

Did the Trump signs show up in his yard before or AFTER he shot Trump?

The old fashioned TRITENESS raised my eyebrows. A young troubled loner?? That’s a patsy from central casting!!! Done in the 1960s and in the 1980s with Reagan. Still the MO 40 years later???

The parents could have been Trump fans, but that doesn't mean the shooter was (spoiler for dopey Leftists: he wasn't).

I researched some more and I stand corrected, you were right.

I was confused as some searches were very contradictory stating the opposite but found an interview on CNN of all places where the person being interviewed stated that the shooter actually had remote control devices to IEDs or explosives in his vehicle.

Totally crazy.

It wasn’t “his” yard. He had a “Protect Trans Kids” sign in his bedroom window, apparently.

Given that one of the necessary characteristics is an amoral upbringing... I’d say there is a limitless supply.

Right now AI can be used to determine almost everything you can imagine about a “normie”, and can tailor social media responses specifically to that person so they get locked in literally their own parallel universe. A lot of the comments a person sees on social media are bots, but a lot of them are also people who have been conditioned to live in a parallel universe. This isn’t exactly the same as the MK Ultra mind control but it is mind control, and all of that stuff makes it much easier to make people more vulnerable to the MK Ultra stuff and to locate which ones are more vulnerable.

When people repeat over and over the “Trump is a dangerous Hitler who needs to be taken out before he destroys everything we hold dear” in a person’s echo chamber it primes them for actual physical brain manipulation as well.

The FBI is telling us Crooks had no communications that gave any clues for radicalization. They would have us believe that he became an assassin through no outside input and without communicating or portraying any change from his nice, normal, mentally healthy demeanor. What does that leave? A normal kid just one day becomes a monster? How are we supposed to believe that happens?

If that could happen to Crooks it could happen to many, many people in our society.
