The man called police to confess to a crime and then killed himself before authorities arrived at the scene

    Investigators said they had identified a suspect in the case by Monday evening, and he had been linked to a total of three cases which were apparently “politically motivated”.

    That man later contacted officers, told them he wanted to “confess a crime involving an ATV driver within the last 24 hours” and asked to be picked up, police said in a statement. When police arrived at the scene, they found a 22-year-old man dead from a self-inflicted gunshot wound.

    Yikes

      Stochastic terrorism bites Trump’s own hand again (but they are so tiny, it didn’t take much). It’s an uncontrollable force.

      That said, it’s a tragic story for the young man and his victims.

          I don’t think he murdered anyone, actually. Just ran them over, hospitalizing the 80 year old. In fact we don’t even know the other related incidents involved running anyone over, I guess, though that was my assumption. The article is light on the details.

          Anyway the kid didn’t have to kill himself.

              Yours is a valid opinion and you’re not being an asshole here, even if I don’t agree with you. If I thought you were I’d downvote, but I don’t think so.

                  You. Yes, you. Here’s an ancient gesture of protection against malicious supernatural forces. Whether or not you believe in it, keep rocking: 🤘

            Not yet, but the guy was 80 and in critical condition. Survival seems unlikely. But as the article seems to say this was intentional, it’ll be murder.

    We’re going to see more of this. I’d love to say the assassination attempt will cause people to think twice, but I think it’s going to inspire others to try and take out supporters and trump himself again

          So how many Trump supporters have you personally killed?

          Or is this an armchair general situation?

      Agreed! ONLY DEMOCRATS are causing Violence Against people they don’t like! Like how it was DEMOCRATS who attempted to Assassinate Trump or DEMOCRATS who called in Bomb Threats to CHILDREN’S HOSPITALS or DEMOCRATS who tried to Run Joe Biden’s bus off the Road or DEMOCRATS who killed Heather Heyer!

        RepubliKKKans are expected to do that shit, but… WOKECRATS? Being so good enlightened people, it’s a BIG surprise…

          Imagine being smug about the ideology of both sites being the same.

          My god that’s embarrassing.

          Huh. The idea that a person might look for enlightenment instead of entitlement surprises you?

          Oof.

          “Woke” means “alertness to racial prejudice and discrimination.” I’m not surprised you don’t want people to be alert to such things.

          Either a troll or just incredibly stupid and a waste of life. Either way, you’re a waste of life.
