Re: Two weird things about Thomas Crooks

He also fired a gun, so it doesn’t really say anything about his politics outside of guns.

My point is that most gun channels* attract conservative types who are more likely to support Trump. Some of these channels ridicule Biden, for his statement several years ago that people who were really worried about home invasions** could use double-barreled shotguns. Obviously this isn't a hard and fast rule, but it does raise questions. Of course Crooks might simply have been a nutjob and his political leanings were irrelevant.

I also would not be surprised in the least if there are claims this was all due to Incel Rage. Of course Crooks might have had a girlfriend, and age 20 seems a bit young to declare anyone a hopeless Incel, but this is the Internet so you never know.

Come to think of it, I really should check out what the lunatics at Sailer's are frothing at the mouth about, but I just can't bring myself to do it.

* = Demolition Ranch is (or was, I haven't looked at it in a few years) a fun/comedy channel, known for such stunts as shooting lit cigarettes out of a shotgun. Like so many once-prolific YT channels its output has dropped way off in the last year or so.

** = although fear of home invasions is a Godsend for gun companies, in reality they almost always target people involved in the drug trade.
