sure that the message is clear. It’s an awful lot of risk to take for what looks like a pointless crime. Also, it’s a pretty amateur operation for the military, and attacking an 84 year old female US citizen in the middle of the night is not something a military, US or foreign, would want on their record. If it’s politically motivated I would guess it’s some low-watt MAGA goon. Probably someone local who knew who she is and her living arrangement.
