"The whole letter was written as if there was, somewhere out there, a community of folks who will read it and think: finally, someone was brave enough to do it."
STOOPID enough to do it. Self-absorbed enough to believe he deserves praise. Suicide by cop, but instead he will spend the rest of his life in prison. Not in glory. Who will even remember this jerk? The names of the other assassins are already beyond common memory, unless someone looks them up on the internet.
The media tried very hard to beat the name Thomas Matthew Crooks into the public zeitgeist. I doubt it has been forgotten. I never had trouble remembering his name, since his name is Thomas Matthew, and my name is Matthew Thomas (a different last name though, ofc, haha). Anyway, the shame is that Crooks was a fucking patsy, so remembering his name is meaningless. The real shooter was Maxwell Yearick. The other assassin, Ryan Routh, is far more forgettable. This idiot will be forgotten, too.
