Fair enough. Police will disclose and journalists will often report the number of weapons and ammo or any explosive devices found at the perpetrator’s home, even if they were not brought to the scene or used in the crime. I think the ladder is a detail in the same vein because it is equipment that he had available to him.

I just don’t understand why you’re so fired up and bothering to argue about it then? Seems super trivial if you thought it neither adds nor takes away. Your only point in this argument is that the article could have left out some detail, for what, to be a little bit shorter??

I do get your overalll point, and if it was a random mass shooting, I’d agree that we don’t need every little detail about the shooter’s life story. There is some nuance to the fact that this was the attempted assassination of a former president, so it is going to be one of the biggest news stories in the US, and they’re going to report all kinds of details about his life.

But the detail that he bought a ladder that morning is, in my opinion, relevant whether he ultimately brought it with him or not, and not a random detail. His activities leading up to the attempted assassination are relevant to understanding his thinking and mindset. It sheds light into how much prior planning or thought went into it.

Uhh, I am the user who said that… are you a bot that doesn’t contextualize by username, perhaps? Probably just a simple mistake by a human.

It’s a false equivalency: taking a shit is not equivalent to the shooter buying a ladder, and I don’t think any reasonable person or journalist would count how many times he used the bathroom as part of his activities.

That’s as much engagement of your semantic argument as you’re going to get out of me.

All of his activities on that day are relevant to creating a complete picture of what occurred, and journalists choosing to withhold details and information is kind of a slippery slope?

EDIT, including this here so it is higher up in this argument thread:

I was simply responding to the comment:

You have to trust someone with these communications, there is no free communication beyond face to face

the oh-so-clever smart alecks saying “whaddabout ISPs???” forgot about 2-way radio and meshnets
