Trump shot?

It would seem imprudent to simply disregard the shooters' world and events leading up to the attempt.  But that is the domain of investigators of the 'authorized' variety, and it is often quite prudent for the investigators to play their cards 'close to the chest' until such time as they are confident they fully understand everything leading up to the crime.  This of course, bears an assumption that they want to find the truth, and not just crafting a "story they will tell."

Fully agree with this approach...under ordinary and reasonable circumstances.  However, these are FAR from ordinary and/or reasonable circumstances.  Sadly, government officials and the MSM have lost so much credibility that no one can believe anything they hear from these sources anymore.  This, in and of itself, is criminal, but when escalated to the level of attempting to assassinate a leading candidate for the leading country in the free-world, well, all bets are off.

 

On the other hand, it is not reasonable to believe that the remainder of society 'should' just sit quietly, waiting for spurious 'official' declarations... frankly, those declarations are most often "crafted" for political effect and public narrative purposes, not to adjudicate justice.  Between ensconced "political" leanings, tightly-cloistered 'decision makers,'  and the entertainment industries "productions," what we would call 'truth' is frequently 'lost,' or hopelessly obscured.

The key elements of this event are very much in question... and it is logical to begin with the shooter.  Of course we are treated to the "lone gunman" theory right off the bat... because there's less to dig, less to question, and less to investigate... it's the least labor-intensive path to follow...  And the idea that a 20-years old (practically a 'child') should become so impassioned as to find assassination a solution, might be a 'convenient' façade for the simplistic narratives that usually accompany these tragic matters.

If the idea is to understand, less information is not better.  Rather than say "enough" of that story because we want it behind us, perhaps we should ask "why less information?"... "how does 'not' knowing help us understand more fully?"... "why shouldn't what we want to know be a part of the dialogue?"...

Completely agree, and good points all.
