Mara Largo shooter says:

[Disaffected]

TMZ reported on Sunday that the man who was shot and killed by Secret Service agents after he breached the secure perimeter at Mar-a-Lago with a shotgun was “fixated” on the files tied to Jeffrey Epstein and believed there was a “government cover-up” protecting his accomplices.

The report is based on text messages from February 15 and from “sources who worked” with the man — identified as 21-year-old Austin Tucker Martin — at a North Carolina golf course. TMZ also reported that Martin “regularly expressed support” for President Donald Trump; he apparently wasn’t as much of a MAGA fan anymore, considering he was prepared to attack the president’s estate.

“I don’t know if you read up on the Epstein Files, but evil is real and unmistakable.” Martin said in the recent text messages. “The best people like you and I can do is use what little influence we have. Tell other people about what you hear about the Epstein files and what the government is doing about it. Raise awareness.”

Well, he wasn't all wrong at all...

[stopdiggin]

1. seriously deluded in about six different ways ...

but as mammy use to say, "even a blind hog finds an acorn every once in a while .. "

[superpatriotman]

2. Also from the article:

‘…At the same time, Austin was outspoken about his Christian faith and political views. We're told he regularly expressed support for Trump, telling colleagues as recently as late last year he believed Trump was a strong leader…”

[CanonRay]

12. One less Trumper and one less Christian zealot

Adios.

[mahina]

15. Wow

You do you, but without me

[CanonRay]

28. I'm sick to death of these people

and unforgiving about what they're done to our country.

[Klarkashton]

3. This isn't going to get much coverage in the media..

Since he was a fallen maga.

[BlueWaveNeverEnd]

4. Theyll be digging for evidence that he is trans

[Klarkashton]

6. They won't find any.

.he s a legit fallen maga.

[rampartd]

13. the drag photos are already up on 4 chan

whoever does that photoshopping is pretty quick.

[durablend]

30. Then they'll make it up

[efhmc]

5. "Real and unmistakable." Some humans are really hurt by this. Does not call for violence but does do harm to people's

psychic.

[NJCher]

17. I hope you mean "psyche"

I don't think any psychics deserve to get hurt by this.

[efhmc]

21. Of course, you are right. Thanks for the correction.

[3Hotdogs]

26. My ex says I'm psychic , 'kept she spells it wrong - psychotic.

[H2O Man]

7. Recommended.

I thought they were held in the basement of the Alamo?

[Marcuse]

8. !!!

[Liberal In Texas]

9. Another magat goes bad.

Somehow we all knew he wasn't "radical left" guy.

[canetoad]

10. He was pretty spot-on with his theory

There IS a government cover up protecting epstein's accomplices. Starting at the very top of government.

[NJCher]

19. I was listening to a podcast that told the history of the

Epstein files. From way, way back the MAGAts were so damned sure this was Democrats. They played excerpts of Bannon and their other rw media characters and I walked away from it with a new understanding of how committed they were to this theory of Democrats being sexual predators.

This "history" included the pizza stuff--remember that?

Also interesting was how they did a word analysis and "pizza" and one other food-related word was obviously a code term for some type of aberrant behavior. These emails were taken from the latest round of documents.

Yep, they sure were right about this being a huge, monolithic network of predators. Only problem for them is that most of them are republicans. When you hear about it in depth, it's understandable how some of their more mentally fragile followers would do something like this. I mean what is this, about the fifth assassination attempt since he got into politics? Maybe it's not such a good idea to promote violence.

[canetoad]

36. Yes, remember it well

There's a degree of irony in the repubs choosing pedophillia as the most morally repugnant crime possible; the king of all pedos is their own hero.

[ToxMarz]

11. Did he think he might find the Epstein files in Trump's bathroom?

[DET]

14. What a Waste

Clearly, this young man was mentally disturbed, but it’s possible he could have been helped if he had not become a member of the cult. Another Trump victim.

[mahina]

16. Right?

Oh my God, his parents 💧

[NJCher]

18. his parents and family

were big-time trump voters. I saw a short clip on tv that showed pics of his home (looked like a drone shot) and also some signs and other paraphernalia that told the story.

[mahina]

20. Yeah, I am still sad for them

[Hassler]

22. He's not wrong about the Trump Epstein Files Cover-up

Hope real lawyers take his case and introduce Trump Epstein Files Cover-up evidence in court. Probably he'll go the public defender route.

[Beringia]

24. Yes, I agree, he was maddened about the evil of the Epstein connections

[Jack Valentino]

25. he won't 'choose' anything because the Secret Service KILLED him...

I choose to believe that he was possibly another American Patriot----
but failed in scheduling


and I might just possibly begin to market T-shirts with Thomas Crooks' face upon them....




"a prophet is not without honor, except in his own country"

[Jack Valentino]

23. Guess he chose the wrong weekend...

[purr-rat beauty]

27. He had 1 job!

Oh, trump's SS (open to interpretation) got him....one less zealot with a gun is still a plus

0 sympathies given

[mcar]

29. Wait, so he's not a gay, trans socialist lefty?

[durablend]

31. Not yet.

[gulliver]

32. Epstein, an unregistered trademark for political crack

A sad, lost MAGA addict suddenly decided to be a sad, lost Epstein addict.

We need to focus on core issues. It's understandable to think that you can just clean out the assholes and pervs among the "elite," and everything's good. It's a pipe dream. Meanwhile, action on issues important to everyone in their day-to-day life is ignored. That is not a coincidence. It's a pattern.

[Boo1]

33. Its almost like

The far right spending nearly a decade fueling qanon is turning to bite them in the ass.

[Buddyzbuddy]

34. I think we already know, MAGA's are mentally unstable

people brimming with hate and feeling justified in their actions. Example: Jan. 6th.
I'm only surprised it's taking this long and we haven't seen a line of voters with buyer's remorse wanting "change". As some finally realize what he actually is, they, will be very angry for feeling conned. They don't seem to have the ability of thinking through the results of their actions, which makes them a danger to society, more specifically, to this administration.
Just my opinion based on observation.

[SusieCreamcheese]

35. What is it with North Carolina?

I listen to C-Span Washington Journal in the morning. Every time, and I mean EVERY TIME, the host introduces a caller from North Carolina, he or she is completely and hopelessly indoctrinated in the MAGAt cult. I find it hard to believe that the Mar a Lago shooter was a MAGAt defector. There's more to this twisted tale than is being told.

[wishstar]

38. NC has most religious establishments per capita and ranks high in religiosity

The shooter was allegedly very "religious".

Don't know why NC has so many citizens wrapped up in religion though.

[Wonder Why]

37. Trump government cover up? I'm shocked at the mere suggestion that he would do such a thing.

[HappyLarge]

39. Where is the lie?

There IS a government coverup to protect the accomplices named in the Epstein Files. I mean, the guy was nutty about it but he wasn’t wrong.
