One more bullet point for the list. During the time the shooter was “living in his car”, politicians would stop by the car and visit with him. Which politicians — what were their names? What did they tell him? What did they give him?
I only heard this once — the day after the shooting, I think — and then never again.
That is a very curious and interesting set of circumstances, which would be something to followup on if there were any real reporters left, but I’m not sure it bolsters the premise of premeditation. One or two more dots connected in could sure make it so.
From the WashPo:
“For weeks, James T. Hodgkinson sat in the lobby of the YMCA in Alexandria, focused on his laptop and carrying a gym bag, but never working out. His perch looked on to the field where the Republican baseball team had been practicing daily for about two months.”
Google Street shows the YMCA is maybe 75 feet from the field, across the parking lot.
