..."On Monday, it was disclosed that Crooks, 20, may have been trained in marksmanship at the local Clairton Sportsmen’s Club where he was registered as a member.

In a statement to the New York Times, the club’s general counsel... declined to describe what training Crooks may have had..."

"...The Allegheny county bomb squad confirmed on Monday that it had joined the investigation after explosives, some appearing to be grenades, were found in Crooks’s car."

The Guardian is as reliably far Left as they get.

It is comical.

Joe Biden provided the motive:

“Trump is an existential threat to democracy.”
“Trump is a clear and present danger.”
Etc, etc, blah, blah, blah.

The kid was a victim of the brainwash job by the democRATS, social media and MSM. Woopi calling Trump a racist, RATS claiming Trump will end democracy and jail opponents, Trump is the new Hitler, etc. The kid probably thought of himself as a hero. The hatred spewed by MSNBC is way out of control.

Motive? He wanted to kill Trump.
These are the same investigators who are looking for who left “the pipe-bomb” near the DNC offices and the cocaine in the White House!

The kid was a violent ANTIFA member with a head full of lies.

Not a mystery.

Lets see, they don’t want him to become President again, they can’t beat him at the ballot box. They have no choice but to shoot him so Biden gave the order. Seems pretty obvious to me.

They’re having as much difficulty trying to determine his motive(s) as they do jihadis who get Sudden Jihad Syndrome (SJS). They’re just baffled and can’t ever figure it out.

Look at crook’s father.

Like the Manchurian candidate parent, it’s possible the son was sacrificed for the ‘better good.’

The parents are both counselors of some sort. Mother is a Democrat and father is a Libertarian.

And they didn't talk to their own son to get a sense of his issues??

Setup in a calculated, deliberate manner by Biden et al:

Stochastic terrorism is targeted political violence that has been instigated by hostile public rhetoric directed at a group or individual. Unlike incitement to terrorism, this is accomplished by using indirect, vague, or coded language that allows the instigator to plausibly disclaim responsibility for the resulting violence.[1] A key element is the use of social media and other distributed forms of communications where the person who carries out the violence has no direct connection to the users of violent rhetoric.
