So this kid has been described by his peers as having been the target of some pretty severe bullying throughout his childhood. I'm sure he also saw how the former, and likely future President relentlessly directed similar behavior towards many people. Not only that, but he surely witnessed many people both on social media and in his daily life joining in on this behavior, and celebrating it. It's really not too hard to see how a person like Crooks could have been motivated to do what he did.

Not the 24/7 fear mongering the media has done over Trump?

Perhaps, but I think it was something more with this kid. I think it was personal.

Tell me again how many platforms Trump has to speak on, and how many there are in total? Just to put it in perspective....Trump has about 2-5 vs 100+ for msm. Trump may make one off the wall comment, but that comment along with added accompanying histrionics is then amplified 100x.

I doubt the kid would have done this without the fear mongering over Trump.

That certainly could have fueled his motivation, but millions of people were exposed to that. What made this kid go the extra step?

The kid obviously had issues.
He is far from the only one.
The 24/7 fear mongering over Trump set him off and may set others off.
That's where the blame lies

Ever major Democrat and their statist media and allied celebrities have been saying "literally Hitler" and calling for his assassination since 2015:
I mean, gee, how could this happen? So shocking. Not

By the way, what rifle training did this kid have?

During his last breaths, Thomas paid a tribute to Nixon by saying “I am not a Crooks.”

Weird. I guess he was non-binary.

From the photographs I have seen in it looks like he was a fetal alcohol baby. I taught special ed for many years and he had the look of someone with FAS or some other developmental disability

You ever think crazy people spewing disinformation on the internet can lead to things like this?

That's cool. And I don't think he would have done it if he didn't identify Trump as a bully. Both can be true at the same time.

No. A single poster on Letsrun has the power of the 24/7 MSM?
And, by disinformation, you mean information that runs counter to the official propaganda.
That's your argument? Plain silly.
For what it's worth, the shooter did indeed appear in an ad for Blackrock.

Yep. More than one factor. All needed. Dunno that his motivation was him seeing Trump as a bully. If that were the case, he would have gone after his actual tormenters

Perhaps he saw Trump as the ultimate trophy.
