I think bad decisions influence him cause he was younger than me. It makes me want to know what happened in his life he was able to buy an AR-15 at 22 I think. He had a good life going and it’s like no he tried to shoot Trump and I wonder why? I don’t see how you can just hate someone that much to also end your life over.

The weapon he used was owned by his parents for many years prior. He grew up in a household full of guns. From everything we can tell right now, it seems like your typical school shooter. Depression and mental illness leads some to want to go with a bang, pun not intended. It doesn’t seem like he hated Trump, so much as he wanted to target someone famous.
That said to your ladder point, literally millions of people gave their lives to kill Hitler.
At least he didn’t choose to attack a school instead.
Might have ducked all our schools at once with his actions. Thankfully the polling hasn’t shown it helped trumps bottom line yet.
All those morons wearing maxi pads on their ears is an added bonus.
Killed a fire fighter though 😡
Fire fighters are generally good in my book, but I saw that guy’s Twitter profile and he was a genuine asshole.
If my house is on fire I couldn’t care less as long as they save my kids. Being a genuine asshole doesn’t deserve that fate.
I’m not saying he deserved to get killed. I just don’t feel too badly that it was him.
Onstage at a fascist rally.
your ladder point
The point made by a ladder!
(It’s “latter” point, haha)
Aaah thank you, I reread the original post trying to find a point related to a ladder and eventually decided I just didn’t understand what the “ladder point” was referring to, but now I understand them!
Languages are fun :)
Depression and mental illness leads some to want to go with a bang
No, they really fucking don’t, privilege and the sense of entitlement it gives do.
Like seriously, beyond the bullshit that is scapegoating mental illness because it’s easier than facing reality, that’s literally not how depression works, nor “mental illness” in general, especially when you consider that mentally ill people are significantly more likely to be victims of violence than perpetrate it.
Stop perpetuating this lazy counterproductive bullshit.
Your best source is a Tumblr blog?
While I get the point you are trying to make, unfortunately unthreaded bipolar depression can indeed lead to manic psychosis episodes. Hyper fixation and grandiosity are also common symptoms. We’re not talking about gender or racial violence here.
‘We’ as in any humans vs no humans? Yes. ‘We’ already know. And ‘we’ likely knew before. ‘We’ just didn’t find the needle in the hay stack soon enough.
But ‘we’ as in you and I? No. ‘We’ may never know anything. And, ‘we’ certainly won’t know everything. It’s on a need to know basis, and ‘we’ don’t need to know.
They googled a bunch of public figures and locations, so guessing notoriety
Have you heard of CIA? Or Malcom X? Or Martin Luther King? Or John Kennedy?
All
to kill him probably
Maybe it was just to have the ear of the president.
maybe he was out of earshot of the president and wanted to be in it.
It seems odd this happened; President Trump has an ear to the ground.
He was listening for the sign, but someone called the shot too loudly. That’s probably why his ear hurts.
It was just ear piercing from long distance…
So this is the kind of piercing gun they use for earrings
It’s a new NRA service, they needed some big influencers to start promoting it
Unless you can talk to dead people I don’t think so.
Anyone can talk to dead people, they just can’t talk back
Can people quit saying he bought the damn gun…he got it from his father.
Maybe he was listening to Marilyn Manson.
It’s a shame he’s been accused of being a creep/rapist. Not for his sake, I hope justice is served, just so many misplaced “I told you so”s to go around because of it.
I wasn’t sure if you were talking about Trump or Manson for a moment.
Because it was the most convenient person to murder: hole is security, piss easy access to a rifle, nothing left to lose. Do you honestly think that someone with a life worth living would risk it like that? Legal Eagle did a good video explaining the shooting. (https://www.yewtu.be/watch?v=l4SZgsNLV-s)
They said he searched online for both Trump and Biden. Maybe it wasn’t matter for him whom from them to kill. Just to kill a person of power as big as the president or a candidate of such country as US, with all modern security measures. Like Unabomber, or like in the film The limits of Control. And he was quite near.
Not really. It’s like with any mass shooter case where the shooter kills themselves. It’s frustrating because we’ll never know what in their mind, got them to do what they did. So we’re all going to be spending lots of time just simply speculating and having hot takes.
Probably saw that Project 2025 had a section on banning porn and jailing its creators. His last phone search was even for porn 👀
He was going for the post nut clarity.
Parents worked in Psych, media failed to differentiate whether therapists of spcial workers, but that particular group is great at fucking up their kids and is capable of hiding and/or minimizing issues.
Not truly. We can make guesses and assumptions. But probably not really know it
