Well, it’s supposedly not too much for a “lone gunman” who’s twenty years old and can’t shoot a watermelon with a rifle from 100 yards away. They’re saying Thomas Matthew Crooks worked alone to try to murder former President Donald Trump, but did he? If he was working alone, why did he have drones, multiple ladders, multiple encrypted cell phones and a homemade IED with a detonator (but he supposedly did not do any research on how to construct a bomb)?
