Open-source intelligence analysts reported that Crooks didn’t appear to use mainstream social media channels such as Facebook or Instagram and had an almost negligible internet footprint, which is highly unusual for a 20-year-old. Instead, analysts said that Crooks corresponded with friends and associates on a Discord server that they were now trying to access.
Discord servers are restricted ring-fenced sections of the internet. They are often used by gaming groups and communities as secure chat rooms but are also used by fringe organisations to push their ideologies and discuss wild conspiracy theories and plots.
Apparently the shooter said the following in his twitter bio before it got scrubbed: “on a mission from God (cross emoji) to end Epstien’s evil empire”
If you’re telling the truth then I called it last night when I said the shooter was a disillusioned QAnon-Head mad at Trump. I mean it’s easy to guess because they’re the only ones who are armed and do adventurism.
lmao a lot of us joked about it it, I didn’t think that’d actually be the case
Reality itself is unserious, it seems
Something similar was my first though when I read the news this morning. QAnon has fractured in some bizarre and spectacular ways since Jan 6th especially and there’s any number of reasons some of those rabbit-holed spin-offs don’t like Trump now
Trump’s own little monsters now coming for zaddy.

Ah then I was right, Q-Head.

I wonder if the media is going to bury this story because of Epstein?

so he did have an internet presence…?
Very little and all of it is been currently scrubbed clean.
How recently do we think it was scrubbed?
Good question and sadly I have no answer yet. However, it is a matter of time that most of us get answers.
I was seeing a ton of fake stuff posted trying to frame him as like antifa and such last night, so I will stand by waiting for more on that type of stuff before really forming opinions on it.
Same here and that made me very uneasy due to the readiness for violence that people with neonazi views have.
pretty clearly faked, check the Epstein reddit, top comments sleuthed out the fact it has 0 posts, photoshopped the shooter’s face onto a different pic, etc
Could you share the post here? I checked this https://www.reddit.com/r/Epstein/new/ sub and it has nothing within these two days.
it was removed by mods https://www.reddit.com/r/Epstein/comments/1e2x2c4/trump_shooter_was_on_a_quest_to_end_epsteins_evil/
Interesting! Here it is: @[email protected] @[email protected]
Btw, thanks for sharing Crispy!
Whatever image you posted was removed
😞 oh well… That image was the evidence that I had.
A linked tweet in that thread says the account was created in September 2022
they changed their name on insta so I doubt it’s him. Also they use a picture that looks like a lookalike (protected twitter, guy in blue shirt)

It’s unclear right now if that’s a real account, from what I saw.
Where did you see that?
I saw this in a discord that I am currently in and I am currently asking for a screenshot to see if I can share it here. People are working hard to scrub data from this shooter.
Any evidence of this? Very interesting
