History keeps truth from being swallowed up by lies.
Aristogeiton was offended when Hipparchus, the younger brother of Athen’s ruler, Hippias, showed an “interest” in Aristogeiton’s young lover, Harmodius. Jealousy erupted in anger that killed the three men.

A day or two after the shooting in Butler, an email post appearing to be from the shooter’s mother complained: “racist homophobes should stop insulting my son.”
Her words prompt the obvious question: “What, except for knowing about her son’s same-sex identification, could have prompted her to call those who insulted him: ‘homophobes’?”
Genuinely concerned people in gay and straight communities want everyone to be safe from those who prey on the vulnerable.
An obvious question: Was someone told to find and attract a confused, intelligent young man (SAT Scores of 1500?) desperate for approval from a manipulative authority figure?
Did this vulnerable 20 year-old lose his life after being seduced into believing how ‘historically important’ he would become if he assassinated the candidate?
Will allegations about overseas phone connections be thoroughly explored? Will fellow school students be interviewed to identify same-sex desires they may have noticed? Will his phone numbers, calls, email records, books, movies, videos, magazines, and writings be examined? Will all new adult contacts in the last year or so of his life be questioned, under oath?

Did security failures begin the night before the rally, when pallets of uninspected chairs were set in place without security supervision? Could some sort of “claymore mines” have been aimed at the Speakers’ Platform and the audience behind it? Were dozens of candidate upporters, including a Congressman and his family, sitting behind the candidate at risk of death or injury?
Where, exactly, did those explosives come from? Was material for shrapnel found? Were gravel, nails, or other small projectiles part of a plan?

We must find who decided to send the first “counter-sniper team” to a the rally in this campaign. Who placed the “counter-sniper” so the young assassin could be killed so he could not be captured and disclose anyone who helped him?
~
Specific questions about the actual thoughts of the “expert counter-sniper” must be asked. The confused young man was only a few hundred yards away. He was squarely in the powerful telescopic sights precisely mounted on the “expert counter-sniper’s” rifle. The sight-picture of a deer or woodchuck with a similar scope and distance would let millions of Pennsylvania hunters immediately understand what an easy target the “expert counter-sniper” had from his securely mounted rifle.
Could the “expert counter-sniper” have helped but watch as the assassin fired seven more shots that killed one person and seriously wounded two more? We need accurate, animated images with audio of the “expert counter-sniper’s” sight-picture as he watched the assassin fire seven more shots.
Were each of those seven shots followed by seven repeated thoughts of the expert “counter-sniper” after each shot? “I must wait. And wait. And wait. And wait. And wait. And wait. And wait to give him a chance to hit Trump with his next shot.”
