There’s not a lack of motive. They just don’t want to talk about it. Terminally online young conservative kid? I guarantee it was obsessed with pedophiles like most of these terminal online people are. What huge thing dropped like a week before but the media ignored? A bunch more Trump and Epstein information. They don’t want to report on that.

He looked up rallies for people of both parties, donated to a liberal group, and registered Republican. Like many other mentally ill individuals, he probably just did it for attention, possibly also suicide by cop.

No credible source has reported that afaik. Do you have a link? I personally went through the FEC records and there’s nobody else in that zip code (10k residents) with the same first and last name. How many “Thomas Crooks” do you think there are in a small town? That zip code on the FEC records does not cross county borders (zip is 15102).
edit: also important to note that the job was accurate (unemployed/student) making it even less likely to be a different person. but I’d like to see your source regardless, I could be wrong
