As part of their investigation into what could have motivated Thomas Crooks to carry out the shooting, the FBI accessed his cellphone — but a preliminary analysis found the information was not helpful for investigators, a senior U.S. law enforcement official said.

The thing is, we legitimately can't believe them.

It may just be after the Vegas shooter they stopped saying they found motive if they're not gonna release the motive.

My guess is that the motive is the same as every school shooting, except that shooting at schools became too normie now.

And if there has to be shootings, I personally wouldn't mind replacing the usual targets to politicians instead of school kids.

Thoughts and prayers?....nah, this was a poohLahteetian! We need legislation pronto!

Yeah, that Vegas shooting dropped out of the news quickly. So did that theater shooting in Colorado.

I feel like my worry is that they have some valid salient arguments and then put something like: this is the only way to get on the news/protest anymore or I have no idea what, something that doesn't sound bad shit insane.

If someone wants a race war or something the news is all over it.
