Part 4/10:
A particularly unsettling aspect of this incident is the continued secrecy surrounding the identity and motives of the shooter—a teenager who orchestrated a plan to attack the President. Despite nearly a year passing, little information has been released about him, which Schlichter finds disconcerting.
This lack of transparency fuels mistrust, especially given the history of institutional failures. While there are capable officials like Cash Patel and Dan Bonino actively seeking answers, the general silence, Schlichter contended, indicates a complacent acceptance of unacceptable circumstances—a reflection of societal complacency toward accountability.
