More than 20 guns are registered to Trump rally shooter Thomas Matthew Crooks’ father, according to records reviewed by law enforcement officials, a source told CNN. All of the registered weapons were purchased legally, the law enforcement officials said.

So the FBI, arguably one of, if not THE best investigative agency on the planet, with untold money in its budget, still hasn't gotten into this kid's phone, huh?

after the new info on him i think his actions were pure narcissism and hurt pride after being rejected from the rifle team, attempting to snipe trump to show his doubters that he's a good shot, that they were wrong. too caught up in delusions of grandeur he didn't understand how hard it is or how dangerous so he failed, and died. no fame or glory like he was hoping for.
acting out to gain media attention is pretty common among school shootings, that's probably a bad sign honestly, might see a trend after this of bullied high schoolers and college kids targeting politicians and such instead of shooting up schools. I'd keep an eye on the news for that from now on.
to be honest i doubt the left has it in them to assassinate people, too caught up in the idealism of being the good guys to even consider such a ploy, modern liberals aren't like twenty years ago or like the 60's even, too used to softer ways of modern America.
and trump staging this seems just as unlikely, that's just too risky for something that might or might not boost support, not even trump is that crazy and his anger afterward seemed pretty genuine, like he was pissed that someone would dare try to kill him.

BREAKING: Man who tried to kill Donald Trump was spotted on a roof nearly 30 minutes before the shooting.
One officer at the rally took a photo of Crooks at 5:45 p.m. and called it in as a suspicious person, according to WPXI-TV.

And THAT is the thing running through my mind, as someone that knows her way around the logistics of it.
What happened could not possibly happen the way it did without a whole lot of insiders setting it up.
And to do all that and place someone who couldn't possibly be considered a tangible asset...
Something about this whole thing stinks to high heaven.
It's... not believable.

The other marginally more plausible conclusion is that law enforcement is hilariously inept and it took a random unhinged gunman to underline this sad fact.
