    You can’t prove he did it of his own volition.

    Unprompted I can’t prove. But nobody held a gun to his head and ordered him to make the video. Nobody ordered him to say he wanted to kill innocents.

    Maybe he’s just a moron. I can’t prove that either way. But the FBI can prove he was moronic enough to think that shooting up a mall is a great idea. Are you saying we should let him go?

    He could be some stupid 18 yr old edge lord. Or he could really wanna do what he was plotting. But you’ll never be able to determine it 100% without seeing to what extent the FBI communicated with him.

    And won’t that be presented in court?

      Other than the agent grooming him, you know, the one he sent the video to.
