One year later: Questions about the purpose of miscreants
While investigators have not identified a certain conceptual or political inspiration, the FBI has suggested a complex difference of personal complaints, mental health issues, and a complex difference of infamous desire to move to the attack.
From an investigative point of view, Nantz explained that establishing the purpose in the absence of an confession or manifesto depends a lot on digital footprints and individual interviews.
“Whoever can be suspicious, some of your best information comes from those who knew them and what they have left behind. Now everyone does 24 hours a day, seven days in a week, I think it’s very easy to find out: Is this person mental illness or ideological inspired?”
Former US Secret Service (USSS) agent and special agent with Homeland Security Department, Charles Marino echoed the feelings of Nentz.
“If they had got the opportunity to interview the miscreants ahead of time, I think they would have identified that they have presented a very real danger – based on their ability to prepare this plan of the attack. They had access to weapons, money and means of traveling,” Marino said.
“This is everything we see when we try and indicate whether a threat presents,” he said.

Any parents can tell you that if your child is not friends, it is going to be a big concern. And the fact that their parents were both certified consultants, question about their level of engagement.”

“This requires a layered approach to safety, and it requires three strong circumference – an external circumference, middle and internal. And we saw completely failure that then exposed other problems in other areas such as the suspect in the day long earlier, all the way to communicate with response,” Marino explained Fox News Digital.
“The building where the crooks reached the top of the roof, clearly, was not clear for secret service. It was not clear to local law enforcement. And it slipped through a rift.”

And this is the level of global danger, the danger level here is domestically, at the domestic level, below all the way, and the fact of this fact, he did not do it,” he said.
