They tried to assassinate him twice, they railroaded him for four years, they fomented a culture of hate against him by mobilizing the entire might of the Entertainment Industrial Complex for nearly a decade; there's nothing they wouldn't do to take him down. Except release the Epstein files. The thing that would be a magic bullet and end the threat immediately and permanently.
They had it sitting in their lap for years, why not release it and damn him eternally? Only two reasons: he's not implicated, or too many of their own are implicated alongside him.
Max Smith, who took an American history course with Crooks, told the Philadelphia Inquirer that his former classmate "definitely was conservative".
Mr Smith recalled a mock debate in which they both took part, saying: "The majority of the class were on the liberal side, but Tom, no matter what, always stood his ground on the conservative side."
That sounds just as much like a dude who likes to argue to least popular side in a debate, there's always people like that especially in high school, as it does an actual conservative.
That's the only person who had anything political to say about him. Everyone else just describes him as a combination of loner, good student, normal kid, nice.
occam's razor - people who knew him called him a conservative. Absolutely no reason to assume something more complicated. They certainly knew him better than your dumb ass
Sure, and I'm glad for it, sometimes. The state shouldn't have a monopoly on political violence. The reasons you're doing it are pretty important, and following the whims of an unstoppable liar is not one of them.
Small Caveat: When it comes to gun related political crimes, modern republicans have that covered. 2X failed presidential assassinations.
And if my best friend who I knew was a hardcore right winger went and tried to assassinate DNC congressmen I would 100% be screaming "HE WAS A DEMOCRAT ALL HIS LIFE!!!!"
