So you have no clue but are complaining about others making assumptions?
Oh, and January 6th was just a tour.Yep, that's me.
No.
I can find the same Bullsh!t from the right but none of you will care because it’s not about your guy. Step back and calm down. Get facts before acting a fool.

Yeah, its not looking like there is evidence. The shooter's history classmate said he "almost always took conservative positions, even if he was the only one." Registered republican and wore a shirt of a popular gun enthusiast you tube channel, who also are Trump supporters.
Could his mind have changed the last few weeks? Sure, the kid was 20. But calling him a left wing nut is a stretch at this point, barring new information coming to light from his phone and computer. I'm not ready to call him a right wing nut even though things are trending that way.
Here’s What Is Known About the Suspect Who Tried to Assassinate Trump
Authorities identified the gunman as a 20-year-old man from Bethel Park, Pa., a town about an hour’s drive from the site of the shooting.
Investigators were scouring his online presence and working to gain access to his phone, but so far had not found indications of strongly held political beliefs. In fact, the clues he left behind were confusing: He was a registered Republican but had also donated to a progressive cause in 2021; his parents were registered as a Democrat and Libertarian.
Yep I'm not making judgements either at this point. Clearly people like him knew exactly who fired the shot before the bullet left the gun.
You and your ilk are the ones jumping on the "fact" that he was conservative. Which is the bigger leap?
We both literally just said we're not making judgements either way. Are you okay my dude? For real, do you have anger issues and need to talk to someone I'm not sure what's going on here?
at all costs.
Yes, that runs counter to your claim below:Here’s What Is Known About the Suspect Who Tried to Assassinate Trump

This article is the one I am referencing as is more current. And this one based on a more recent interview with several classmates and acquaintances:
"Sigafoos did not recall Crooks making political overtures in class, but rather as someone interested in how government works, and “not trying to insert his own beliefs into it.”
Another former classmate did not share this view.
Max R. Smith recalled taking an American history course with Crooks as a sophomore. He did recall Crooks making political statements — but they shed no light on his actions Saturday.
“He definitely was conservative,” he said. “It makes me wonder why he would carry out an assassination attempt on the conservative candidate.”
Smith recalled a mock debate in which their history professor posed government policy questions and asked students to stand on one side of the classroom or the other to signal their support or opposition for a given proposal.
“The majority of the class were on the liberal side, but Tom, no matter what, always stood his ground on the conservative side,” Smith said. “That’s still the picture I have of him. Just standing alone on one side while the rest of the class was on the other.”"
Why Thomas Matthew Crooks tried to assassinate Donald Trump is a mystery to investigators and his ex-classmates
The thought that their mild-mannered ex-classmate would try to kill former President Donald Trump was difficult to process in this tight-knit community near Pittsburgh.

In a bizarre commentary, conspiracy theory promoter Mike Adams claims that Mayorkas ordered the assassination under orders by President Biden. The FBI got a hold of the young shooter and somehow radicalized him.
