that his identity and true motive will come out either way.

Why - SOMEONE on his list - probably several someones - would have a video doorbell that would record his face. I'm thinking no official would be opening their door to a masked cop. I get the masking in ICE raids and other mass police actions (although obviously I disapprove), and powerless folks complying; but what person of any social power would think a masked police officer at their door is for real? Ergo, he couldn't have masked (not sure if this is already stated somewhere). No way he could expect that his identity wouldn't come out. Ergo, unless his brain cells are seriously compromised (beyond murderous madness), any red herrings he planted would eventually be debunked.

yes, it's being reported he had other targets in his manifesto mnmoderatedem Jun 14 #5

Reports I'm hearing (MSNBC and CNN) say the list had approximately 70 names on it. All allegorical oracle Jun 14 #12

Maybe protestors were also on his hit list? Irish_Dem Jun 14 #7

I'm trying to figure out how he would use those slips of paper RandomNumbers Jun 14 #9

Wondered that too. They look like hand-outs yet they look useless...like a prop. allegorical oracle Jun 14 #14

He planned to pretend to be a protestor and disappear into the crowd? Irish_Dem Jun 14 #15

My first thought, but what do those slips of paper do for him? RandomNumbers Jun 14 #16

Yes I had posted that the protestors were on the hit list today perhaps. Irish_Dem Jun 14 #18
