Believable fabrication. Depends on how long has this been in the works.

Maybe a patsy set up by government agitators like the would be kidnappers of Gretchen Whitmer. I wouldn’t rule out the guy was set up and the actual shooting was done by a deep state assassin. Of course the FBI will be right on this like Inspector Clouseau.

A tiny (T) fraction of the population are responsible for a disproportionate number of firearms crimes.

And nobody dare speak their name....

Neck beard misses at 130 yards. LOL! HAHHAHAHA! These are the people that say they’re gonna take us out!

That being said, F you Secret Service. You partisan worthless fucks let this happen. A fucking high point @130 yards didn’t have agents posted? Either incompetence, or malfeasance.

I'm sure his socials have already been scrubbed.

Whoever planned it had weeks to plan and prepare for the scrubbing and hours to actually do the deed...

I agree but somehow I figure the ANTIFA part is correct. He looks the type.

That's "f" in "mentally unstable" for low information voters.

Taking out the shooter is a cover up for a failed coup. No questions can be asked of a dead shooter.

Wonder if knew getting his brains blown out was part of the deal?

I would think that he certainly did. He was planted on a roof, in the open, with no obvious mess of escaping. I think dying in the end was the climax of his heroic fantasy. The wonder is that he was willing to waste his life on being successful using such a small caliber rifle. Thank God that, while he was dangerous, at the same time he was an idiot.
