This is a weak argument. He owns a gun and a ghille suit, must be a psychopath?

If you don't know the context, this is a social media post from the guy in Utah who made assassination threats against Biden. Owning a gun and a ghillie suit doesn't make you a psychopath. But threatening to murder people sure does.

So the picture they chose is irrelevant?

People can be kind and courteous on the surface but vicious in their private life.

[–] CommanderM2192@lemmy.world 14 points 2 years ago

Hardly irrelevant. He made threats specifically involving these items.

I HEAR BIDEN IS COMING TO UTAH. DIGGING OUT MY OLDGHILLESUIT AND CLEANING THE DUST OFF THE M24 SNIPER RIFLE.WELCOM, BUFFOON-IN-CHIEF!

You can find it on page 36 of the official report. https://www.sltrib.com/news/2023/08/09/threats-against-president-read/

He needs more ghillie suits.
