Will we ever know why the shooter shot Trump? (lemmy.ml)

I think bad decisions influence him cause he was younger than me. It makes me want to know what happened in his life he was able to buy an AR-15 at 22 I think. He had a good life going and it's like no he tried to shoot Trump and I wonder why? I don't see how you can just hate someone that much to also end your life over.

They googled a bunch of public figures and locations, so guessing notoriety

Unless you can talk to dead people I don't think so.

Not really. It's like with any mass shooter case where the shooter kills themselves. It's frustrating because we'll never know what in their mind, got them to do what they did. So we're all going to be spending lots of time just simply speculating and having hot takes.

'We' as in any humans vs no humans? Yes. 'We' already know. And 'we' likely knew before. 'We' just didn't find the needle in the hay stack soon enough.

But 'we' as in you and I? No. 'We' may never know anything. And, 'we' certainly won't know everything. It's on a need to know basis, and 'we' don't need to know.

Have you heard of CIA? Or Malcom X? Or Martin Luther King? Or John Kennedy?
