CIA and intel agencies that may have groomed the shooter.

Not this shite again. How about possibly so copy cats wouldn’t be spurred to action after absorbing his social media? Just off the top of my head. Hey, it could be another alleged instance of intelligence grooming, but can we maybe try to make sure there may not be more “innocent” reasons before jumping straight to the most scandalous option??

Don't remember seeing any social media for Thomas Crooks (other than the Black Rock commercial).

Whatever happened with this story that Thomas Crooks was emailing back and forth with LE a couple days before the incident?

He's going to end up being a Massie supporter.



He wanted to be a cop.



I'm thinking this is not a political type ordeal. I'm thinking this is a disgruntled employee goes postal at work type of deal.

I get what you’re saying, but the OP didn’t explicitly mention either way or have it be a leading question at all.

Also, why not both? Within like 4 comments, both sides of the coin were mentioned by people.

That’s pretty good grounds for a discussion, no?

Yeah im thinking Meta would be on the hook for quite a few millions, maybe even billions, if they left up a shooters socials and it inspired a similar atrocity.

I would hope if our CIA was grooming shooters they would prohibit them from having social media in the first place.

We're told so that it doesn't spawn copy cats from weirdos who see the massive attention it gets the person.

Isn't the excuse normally.. "to prevent copycats"?


Reality seems to be so that msm and gov can control the narratives. If the person is white, the automatic narrative is that they are nazis who did it fulfill some greater nazi goal. Other white people need to be held accountable. If the person wasn't white, narrative is that they are just lone wolves, who have mental problems.

Of course there're variables. Such as if the attacker is a very public white lgbt or white woke, then the narrative becomes it's the victims or institutions fault for being oppressive, and forcing the poor attacker to snap and take matters into their own hands in a desperate attempt to bring change.

Why would you call it an excuse?

It's an excuse because the following msm narratives often depict attackers who are black, brown, or white woke as lone wolves who are just victims themselves who have mental issues and snapped. Ensuring that everyone knows that there wasn't any propaganda that accelerated their descent into madness. Since there's no propaganda that may have accelerated their descent into madness, it ensures that more and more copycats will pop up after consuming fearmongering propaganda.

While the white non woke attackers are often automatically labeled as adherents of certain propaganda, and that the propaganda is responsible for their acts of violence. The propaganda itself, and the people who promote it are condemned.

If the excuse of wiping social media accounts is to prevent copycats is viable, then it is only effective if the narratives that follow are labeling every attacker as a lone wolf with mental problems.
