    I’ve heard reports stating he had no scope. This dude had no military training or anything of the like and I suspect in a moment like that your adrenaline is going through the roof. Odds are quite high he was shaking like crazy. Odds are high he knew he was going to die in seconds.

    Where he stands politically I don’t know, but this could be case of “suicide by cop” combined with a, “well I might as well…”

    To just provide a counter-narrative, his father is a Libertarian; his mother is a Democrat according to a local canvasser. It’s possible when going to the DMV he was pressured by one of his parents to pick a registration at 16 and that of course stuck with his record. Not exactly a long political history between 16 and 20. Nevertheless we shall see. His interest with Demolition Ranch and the discord channel may reveal some insights. Maybe the Epstein files sent him over the edge or something.

        I’m not sure if you have to, but I know it is on the form. It’s just a convenient time to ask, like if you want to be an organ donor.
