allow me to introduce you to american policing…..
if the government was actually trying to kill him, they would have used someone capable of making a shot from much farther out in a secured position, not some 20 year old weirdo who can’t shoot straight.
imo, if there is government involvement it will be the typical fbi screw up:
“identify an online weirdo they think is dangerous - radicalize him with an undercover/online contact - help him plan attack - arrest him before he does it.”
this playbook was popularized post-9/11 and typically targeted muslim teenagers.
there have been several mass shooters with past fbi contact and/or surveillance. the theory is they were doing their normal play, but ***ducked** up taking them down before they acted. i could see that happening here.
