Do you guys think there was a conspiracy? Did law enforcement stand down to allow shooter a chance to get off a number of shots?
I don’t know but the sheer levels of incompetence on display seems unlikely….surely we should be asking if there was an operation to kill Trump?
I don't have a theory on it. However the totality of events doesn't make much sense....
  • Trump supporter? Or at least registered republican.
  • No social media history
  • No history of strong polarized political beliefs
  • No documented mental health issues or reports from family
  • Buys ladder that day and carries ladder + rifle from his car and climbs on top building -- in full view of everyone
  • Chose same building that also contained sniper admin agents
  • Reported to police by multiple individuals along with accompanying video of him on roof
  • Reports that Secret Service was aware and took photo of him climbing roof
  • Police climbed ladder after him and saw him with rifle then retreated
  • Reports that sniper team was told to "stand down" and do not take shot until he shot first
  • Secret service announces that they "probably will never be able to unlock his phone", then seems to reverse that announcement after public backlash
Again I don't have a theory on this. Is it possible its just a series of random events + complete incompetence? Sure...however something about the total lack of coherence seems off....

Some of the events are definitely not random
Very skeptical he has no social media footprint
Even complete incompetence sounds unlikely
He made a donation to a left wing organization in 2021 for 15 bucks. He was 17 and made a donation on act blue website. He made a donation before he could vote. I wonder if his mom asked him to donate o her behalf?

Very true. At the same time several pictures of him show him wearing vaguely "conservative-style" t-shirts....things with USA flags, etc. At shooting he was wearing Demolition Ranch t-shirt (popular youtube channel that while not political is certainly strong 2A supporter).
I have no idea what any of that means....being non-conspiratorial he appears to be like any other non-ideological young male. Vaguely pro-america with middle-of-road political beliefs that also supports some ACTBlue talking points.
Just doesn't seem like that would be a "highly motivated assassin".
Like you, the lack of any known social media is puzzling....I just don't think an average young person gets that extremely politicized without arguing about politics all day on internet.

Yes thanks and nicely argued. None of it makes much sense - total lack of coherence as you say.

That was literally the last shot for Biden's second term. Missed.
