I feel a little afraid anytime I see a post trying to identify the alleged perpetrator, just since the Boston Bombing and reddit.
Not saying you've done so, just that it still worries me I guess.
The FBI released that photo.
I don't want to try and identify anybody. Actually highly suspicious of anything they say about this investigation now bc they've botched the shit out of this, and Trump is clearly already using this to spread propaganda against the left.
At this point the entire FBI should basically be considered an extension of Trump's personal Gestapo. I would not in any way remotely trust anything they say. The agency, falling completely under the domain of Trump, is compromised.
He probably did it, but can you imagine if he didn't how fucking scary this would be
It is scary. Why do you assume he did it? What reason does America have to trust any claim these people make? They are literally trying to overthrow the federal government.
There are so many cameras everywhere, especially on a college campus. I assume they were able to track all of his movements.
Unless you're suggesting this is a conspiracy from the FBI, but I dunno I think Kirk was a valuable long term asset for them I don't think they'd kill him on purpose. Plus why would everything yesterday be so sloppy? Wouldn't they just Epstein kill whoever they had in custody yesterday? Or fake that they caught somebody?
Why wouldn't they just railroad some random guy if they got sloppy and accidentally (or somebody at the top actually forced them to) allow the shooter to escape?
It doesn't have to be some grand conspiracy. Somebody fucked up. Who takes the blame? Whoever you can use to make it stick.
