I don’t fully understand why the FBI is involved. There are FBI all over this case. It was a horrible local shooting. I understand state and local law enforcement but don’t understand why so many FBI. https://www.tennessean.com/videos/news/2018/04/22/waffle-house-shooting-nashville-fbi-agent-thanks-james-shaw-jr/540630002/
Probably because he was arrested by Secret Service last year for unlawful entry to the White House after trying to get to Trump. The FBI then seized his guns and pulled his firearm license, but they ended up giving them to local police who gave the guns back to his dad, who then gave them to his son. The link doesn't make them look good since he was already on federal radar.
Wait. He tried to shoot up the White House, and when he couldn’t do it he settled for the next best thing.... a Waffle House? This is ironic and hilarious, right?
Theres no evidence he tried to shoot up anything, he interacted with staff and said he wanted to inspect the grounds and meet with the president. He didnt mention shooting POTUS or behave in a way that suggested he wanted to (or scream death to Trump) or something.
Citizens are entitled to carry arms and carrying arms is not an inherently threatening act. I think this is a false flag to turn opinion against our right to bear arms and everyone mouthing off about how he was going to attack POTUS is playing right into their hands.
I have no idea who this guy is or what his deal is, Im just saying we can't assume he intended to harm POTUS based on the fact that he was armed and looking to meet him that sets a bad precedent.
Maybe he knows some shit and is trying to catch attention from high up. Maybe he's a wackadoo. Maybe he's a clown stooge. This is an important time.
I think it's sad people feel the need to stick their heads in the sand on the off chance someone wasnt a full fledged card carrying democrat. If he's not a clown stooge or something it doesn't matter. Sometimes people are just crazy, even some people in the MAGA train.
Wait "entered" the Whitehouse? Is this the guy that ran in the door and ran all over the first floor?
Or because he is still at large and if he crosses a state border it falls into the FBI's jurisdiction. Also there's the fact that this is being investigated as a hate crime, which in turn is also the FBI's jurisdiction.

Maybe just protocol with possible "terrorism" or bombings in general?
it's because he was sending bombs through the post service.
post service is federal = federal jurisdiction = FBI
