I would hate to think they would move deliberately to lead police into a kill zone but it is a possibility.
What I was thinking is the snipers acted on the knowledge that these protests bring large numbers of LEO out into an open area.
What if they wanted to decimate the police and create a no man’s land of complete lawlessness?
Me too, believe me.
I don't think many - or any - protestors were in on it.
I think some of their leaders may be.
If so, it'll come out. They have to have coordinated using social media, texting, etc. I don't think very many of them have the self-discipline for tradecraft, with constant use of encryption technology and the use of burn phones.
We'll see.
On the other hand, maybe we won't see. That kind of eavesdropping technology is property of the feds, and they're not going to let the truth get out if it points to any kind of large-scale conspiracy, particularly if that involves foreign actors and supporters of a certain religion.
