Witnesses didn’t say he “looked funny,” they said he was climbing a roof and some saw he had a rifle.

[@bardsamok9221]

There were many accounts to multiple cops

[@IIIXIIIIIIIIIIIIIXIII]

“The motive is not clear” 🤔

[@JeffSherlock]

He was a ladder influencer?

[@jeromebullard6123]

The motive is not clear? Idiocracy.

[@Michael-rl3uo]

I have 1 question, If The shooters Car was at his residence many miles away, how did he get to the event. Someone Knows.

[@JeffSherlock]

They are referring to a 1970s era Ford van, with Arizona license plates, parked in the neighborhood across the street from the fairgrounds. They htink some objects looked like homemade handgrenades. They may have been watermelons or all we know.

[@Hendoggy909]

The problem is she never says it's a van. Some reports say they found explosives in his car that was parked at his house.

[@deathwrenchcustom]

I wish the media would stop saying "lone wolf.." that makes it seem "cool" to other crazy people.

[@Brandon_Biden]

It also implies that there aren't more exactly like him, but given how many incels on the alt right online pipeline and platforms, the "lone wolf" label only fits the ones who decide to take actions into their own hands. There is definitely a wolf pack of them though.

[@bewareofsasquatch]

It’s a term used for decades and it’s not going to change. What would you like the term be? You keep changing it and the term becomes “cool”. Assassin is pretty dope to be honest cooler than “lone wolf” Wolves a group and are in a society. Being lone just mean you got kicked out for being weird and don’t fit. Basically a loser. Take it on the hairs of your chinny chin chin you like.

[@randygerdes]

So many of these reports are just filler info, very repetitive. Nichole did a great job giving facts and being concise and prepared. Top notch work.

[@petewallace4965]

The motive is unclear…. WHAT? What else could it be?

[@created1991]

Then media still not telling complete truth....they say he is a republican but not saying he donated to the democratic party...

[@MrMetro-mt5qv]

They are saying that; he was then 17.

[@Stinger913]

Yeah ngl I learned that fact from the media they literally showed a pic of his registration form status in an article from like very MSM outlets, WSJ, NYT, CNN, Fox all normal news sources. I know we love to bash the media but they have been pretty honest in their reporting bounded by the limit of what they know. Obviously the FBI knows more but can’t instantly tell the public

[@blueridger28]

I've heard many sources say that.

[@Doooooooo]

@@MrMetro-mt5qv a lot of blue voters were switching party registrations just so they could vote against trump in the republican primaries that just recently passed us... dont forget that detail cause it def happened

[@curious1053]

They’re saying it but certain people are omitting the full story.

[@ctfh1236]

Motive ??? You silly woman, shame on your to mention MOTIVE

[@dylanhill1640]

Where are his parents?

[@michaelellringer5600]

You just don't understand Lone Wolves!

[@Brandon_Biden]

In a room being interrogated by the fbi, probably.

[@theresehopkins1581]

Now..... he's 20..... an adult.... been keeping to himself.... How can anybody anticipate their child doing something like this??.... How can someone like this be profiled???.... That's the most frightening aspect about all of this!!! ..... 😳🙏💔

[@deandreray3500]

I’m no Trump fan but this is wild!!!

[@davidparnell1893]

"Explosive materials" is such a generic term it's worthless journalistically. Say expressly and specifically which materials and compounds were discovered. If you are a farmer or a gardener you have "explosive materials" at your house. The media loves to shovel out banal keywords and call it "reporting". So close to the fourth of July firecrackers or other fireworks are "explosive materials". If you camp or grill outside or own any gas powered equipment you have loads of "explosive materials". If it couldn't be "reported" as evidence in a trial court, then it's just a cheap, low-grade story and possibly incorrect. (But hay, it's something to broadcast and called as "news".

[@bewareofsasquatch]

It’s a developing story and cops and FBI don’t give all the info at once. They INVESTIGATE. This is real life and not a TV show. If you want to know answers quicker watch TV!!!!!! 📺 Actually don’t cause than when you come across another event good or bad you’re going to want to know everything at that moment cause that’s how it’s on TV.

[@j.b.macadam6516]

Cause and effect?

[@MonteneDaniel]

Scary

[@Neppy1414]

the bot comments are insane 😂😂😂

[@kulik03]

maybe youre the bot

[@bardsamok9221]

​@@kulik03That's what a bot would say ;)

[@aaronscott8837]

just beccause they are saying something you dont agree with does not make them a bot!!!! this is the exact reason why people are leaving social media because stupid people like to make assumptions about people they know nothing about!!!!

[@Eric-ve9pc]

Motive unknown?

[@LS-ki9ft]

No matter what side of the political aisle you are on, this is really sad and troubling for our country. Even though I am not a Trump supporter, I am very glad and relieved that he is okay. I pray for him and his family and all of the families that were impacted. I hope that we can get a complete picture of what happened. God bless our country, and everyone please stay safe.

[@PavlovsDog-kl8mo]

The only comments allowed are from the generic automatic fem-bots 🤣

[@Tapiocaukrainianprincess]

What’s a fem bot? Never heard that term! Like a feminine robot????😂😂😂

[@acrustykrab]

@@Tapiocaukrainianprincess lol it's just purchasable bot accounts, they have generic comments and tend to have girl butts as profile pictures

[@casyatbat]

clearly self projection.

[@anthonyvoss9150]

If I remember correctly the republican party named the AR-15 America's national rifle...I believe it was MTG or L. Bobbitt

[@bobcollins351]

What is your point

[@tomkatttt1]

Registered Republican but made donation to Democratic party.. Money talks.. ******** walks

[@randominternetuser2888]

So you're walking 🤔 impressive Try not to Jan6 about it Or is that fake news

[@aaronscott8837]

so you pick one side then change your mind. does that still make you the first side and not the second???? you really dont think about anything you say, you just blurt out hate and lies!!!!!

[@garyspence2128]

Who's behind the wacky comments? Some corporation, Russia, Walmart? And what are they after...?

[@bardsamok9221]

Is there a difference between DJT and Kremlin bots? It's usually exactly the same narrative

[@beachbayareajr455]

The crowd, secret service and everything else is very suspicious

[@user-vg4vt5sj6z]

😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅

[@davidkastin4240]

400 feet away? The reports said about 148 meters away which is over 3000 feet.

[@GothikSamurai1]

148 meters is no where near 3000 feet. 1 meter is around 3.28 feet. 148 meters is about 485 feet.

[@StephenLewisful]

One football field is 100 yards=300 feet. Yards and meters are close to being equal. I think you need to revisit a math book and recalculate your answer.

[@Cmunic8]

Maga math

[@hotdude655]

148 yards

[@treeofliberty5611]

Math is racist

[@cathibyers9639]

Thank you CBS and other opposing Media sites for helping this Country come back to Who We Are and and remembering our Connection and Humanity 🙏🏻
