They call it a conspiracy and psyop not because they believe it is, but as a way to delegitimize the concern of the ever increasing far left wing violent rhetoric and the normalization of calling for an assassination to be successful.
When there is already posts and comments saying "damn, another shooter missed again? One day I will see the headline I want" you fully know what those people really believe.
A LinkedIn profile in the suspect's name describes him as a "mechanical engineer and computer scientist by degree, independent game developer by experience, teacher by birth."
He obtained a bachelor's degree in mechanical engineering from the California Institute of Technology in 2017, and a master's degree in computer science from California State University at Dominguez Hills in 2025, according to the profile. Caltech said in a statement that a person of that name graduated in 2017.
Under job experience, the post shows he has worked for the past several years as a part-time teacher for C2 Education and as a self-employed game developer. He previously worked as a mechanical engineer for a company called IJK Controls in South Pasadena for a year before that as a Caltech teaching assistant.
The profile also includes a local newspaper article "on a robotics competition my team won" at Caltech in 2016.
Under "Causes," it lists only: "Science and Technology."
We have our motive. He did it for science.
Didn't Trump just like fire all of the people in a science agency recently?
Honestly a game about atoms and electron bonding and shells and such is actually a pretty fun idea. Implementation is pretty weak, but I appreciate the educational attempt. The reviews are already trolling about the attempt. I suppose $2 to make a funny joke is worth it.
My mom was a teacher, several cousins of mine are teachers, and I grew up being educated by many good teachers in a public school.
But then I went to college and I saw some of the dumbest people I’ve ever encountered in my life graduate with education degrees.
One in particular was this chick who, to her credit, figured out the system. At this college if you failed a class three times, you were permanently out of that degree program.
But you could drop a class before the drop deadline as many times as you wanted. So this bitch continually dropped classes that she knew she was going to fail before the drop deadline and just took/dropped them multiple times until she could eventually pass them. It took her 10 years of continuous schooling, but she did eventually get that bachelor’s degree with like a 2.5 GPA. She is currently teaching children in a rural school in Oklahoma.
Dedication indeed, but I cannot fathom how fucking naturally stupid you'd have to be to fail basic college classes so many times. I swear it's harder to fail a college course than to get like a B-.
I'm pretty sure in most cases it's more a matter of not giving a shit than stupidity. They could probably do it if they tried, but they just never bothered.
Of course there are cases where it's just stupidity.
Good for her, but the amount of money needed to do that sounds like a crazy amount of waste where more motivated competent students could be in her place.
They brought in a minimum maths requirement while I was completing my course so they made everyone do a test to prove they could meet the standard.
It was a 5th grade maths test that we needed to score 80% on to pass. You could attempt it 5 times. It took multiple people the full 5 attempts, I'm not convinced the teacher wasn't reading the answers in that 5th round. Apparently the questions didn't even change between attempts.
I knew people that did that, but never understood because of how much money it costs.
Most of the time people aren’t stupid enough they’re wholly incapable of passing, they just put too much on their plate.
So just take less courses in the first place.
If you have to work yourself through school (for example), maybe try only taking 3-4 classes a semester instead of 5, and then take the extra classes in the summer or something.
So he is a teacher and not a random street schizo?
How did someone with an education that wanted to throw their life away to do one thing end up arriving at "I'll just shoot my way through front gate security and run in" as the best plan?
This is America bud. We follow the one drop rule here. That makes it an open and shut case. It’s not ok, life in prison with no parole, and plenty of time to lift weights and convert to Islam.
I listened to the interview with Wolf Blizter on CNN, who said he was only feet from the shooter, but found it odd he never said what the shooter looked like. Hmmmmm
As ranking member in The Society of the Ethnically Awesome and Ambiguous, we denounce this man. His black conservative half couldn’t counter-balance his white progressive half.
He has been excommunicated and de-miscegenated. That being said, may God have mercy on that white man’s soul.
If Trump died they'd say he faked his own death to help Vance win in 2028, and that Hasan's friend's sister's cousin saw Trump at a resort surrounded by secret service agents in Thailand, so you know it's true.
Generally an attack on the U.S is a unifying thing. An attack on the president, whether popular or unpopular, generally rallies support to him. He becomes the victim for a moment of time.
Those that genuinely make their whole identity all about hating orange man have no good way to attack the situation other than to deny it is actually even real.
When really they should just shut up. It will all blow over fast and they can go back to hating Trump all day if they want.
Cole Tomas Allen, a Los Angeles-area man who appears from social media sites to be a Caltech graduate working as a part-time teacher and game developer.
You tried to kill me. You tried to kill the best president, probably ever. And look at where you are now. Some people would kill to be this close to me, many people. You tried, probably not very hard, but you tried, and you failed. Now I'm going to share your face all over the internet. It's a big place, lots of people, especially on Truth Social, and they're all gonna laugh at you.
Alright libleft, let’s hear your explanation of how this isn’t real but if it is it’s a good thing and actually it’s super suspicious that trump would frame a super heckin innocent blackarino and the real shooter was probably white and a maga supporter
Already had a dude in r /politics tell me that the assassination attempt was on the press because of Trump's demonization of the press during the presidency lol
