The shooter is a generic leftist, but a popular theory suggests more UPDATED - American Thinker
"Here are the two most recent facts currently available about Allen.
First, he was once considered a very bright mind in applied engineering:
Second, he definitely was a garden-variety leftist zealot:
. . . "One could just leave it at that: The progressive/Democrat/leftist fusion in America created a human ideological weapon. Create enough of them, and you know that one will be bold enough and crazy enough to act on his inculcated beliefs. However, when Allen acted on those beliefs, what he did was pretty complicated.
"Now, it’s entirely possible that, with his engineer’s mind, he identified a logical progression of steps and then took them. However, even if one assumes the engineering mind in action, it’s still hard to figure out how he was able to carry this plan as far as he did. That’s because there are external factors involved over which, seemingly, he would have had no control...and yet, up until the very last second, everything flowed.
"Maybe it was just dumb luck. Sometimes, as the death of the Archduke Franz Ferdinand shows, fate just seems to have it in for a victim. After all, it took Gavrilo Princip and his co-conspirators several tries to kill the Archduke, with new doors constantly opening when old ones failed. It seems as if the fates wanted to trigger World War I. "
. . . "Like, the one thing that I immediately noticed walking into the hotel is the sense of arrogance.
I walk in with multiple weapons and not a single person there considers the possibility that I could be a threat.
The security at the event is all outside, focused on protestors and current arrivals, because apparently no one thought about what happens if someone checks in the day before.
Like, this level of incompetence is insane, and I very sincerely hope it’s corrected by the time this country gets actually competent leadership again.
To sum up; hate Trump; love his assassin.
