Hard to believe that the shooter was...11? 12? Back in 2016. I've read that he was a registered Republican, but it's worth noting that half of the photos going around of the shooter are of a lookalike on Twitter named, and I'm not kidding, "jewgazing"

Not much to go on, but my guess is that if he was 20, registered Republican, and hates Trump, I doubt it was because he loved Jeb Bush as a kid, or wanted DeSantis to be the nominee. I would lean towards him being motivated by commentators around his age like Nick Fuentes saying Trump is controlled by Jews.

And, no drones. In our high tech world, no drone surveillance of the area. This was certainly a failure on the part of the secret service. Not a complete failure though. Trump survived.

It's not that I want Trump dead. I don't condone killing, war, the death penalty, etc. . But, in the case of a traitor, or national security, such as losing our democracy. Then yes, Trump must be put down, at all costs to save our democracy. Period. It is the only logical course of action, imo.

What, no good guy republicans with a gun to stop the shooter?!? For shame on them.

Yeah. They were running this guy's photo as the shooter, so he made this video after the shooting. He and his buddies were cracking about it on Twitter.

The shooter is a different guy with same name?
 
I fundamentally struggle to believe a 20 year old would die in a hail of gunfire to save the party of Reagan. 20 year old disgruntled Vivek supporter is a tough sell lol.

This has to be the lookalike trolling right? The reporting around this has been terrible by the way. Without even getting to the nypost randomly claiming that the shooter was an Asian guy for hours.

Well, like I mentioned earlier, almost immediately after the shooting right-wing Twitter was posting pics of a guy who looked like Manny from "Modern Family" all grown up and IDing him saying he was an antifa member. It wasn't long before that was debunked and it was discovered the guy was from Italy.

Some right-wing sites STILL are running that he was the shooter.

And, yeah, some media outlets have been using the photo of this guy as Tom Crooks and now he and his buddies are having fun with it.

Welcome to modern media, where everything is about being first and not being best.
 
Roger Stone has been tweeting that the shooter actually was Maxwell Yearick, who was arrested for protesting a Trump rally in Pittsburgh in 2016.

No one seems to know anymore.

I've seen a half-dozen names for the shooter now.

I don't know if the guy in the video is really Crooks or just playing with being identified as Crooks. Right-wing sites now are saying it's Yearick, but some followers of those sites are contesting it ... saying the ears, eyebrows and chin don't match the corpse.
 
Somebody yelling pretty hysterically for what sounds like "Crooks"

 
OK, it sounds like the FBI has confirmed Crooks as the shooter.

I guess Roger Stone was wrong.
 
My first thought when I heard the news was that it was a staged, a stunt, political ploy etc..

I still feel that way. I watched a show on PBS or one of the channels awhile back that was showing how another assassination of a president or presidential candidate on US soil is nearly impossible these days. They do such a detailed perimeter and are posted up in a mile radius.

This freak shooter just casually strolls into this event on a hot summer day with a long rifle or semi automatic gun and posts up and starts shooting 150 yards away??

Just doesn’t make sense. Especially with a figure as hated by some as Trump.

There's definitely a lot of stuff here that still has to be answered. It doesn't add up right now, but it could just be gross negligence or poor reporting..

More than likely it was a series of spectacular failures. I just do not see this being staged when someone actually died. If it was those firecracker tier pops, a Trump ear grab, and that was the end of it -- sure. The thing that gets me are the multiple people who witnessed Crooks scale the rooftop, warned the police and secret service, and watched with their nuts in a sling as he lined up a shot that would've blown through the back of Trump's skull if he hadn't moved his head to the right as he spoke.

@SlyPokerDog please handle this.
 
I just read a report on Reuters that said Crooks is the shooter. I also saw photos of Crooks on Twitter and it appears to be the young man. Unless they were manipulated, the ear matches the death photo.

They're saying he was a registered Republican but he also once donated $15 to a Democratic fund-raising organization.

MAGA Twitter doesn't seem to believe it's Crooks and now is actively running with Stone saying it was Maxwell Yearick, who it says was antifa. He'd be about 37 years old now and while their are some facial similarities with pics of him seven years ago, it doesn't look like Yearick was the deceased. Of course, they won't believe that now.

EDIT: The donation to ActBlue is in question. It might be another person with almost the same name that lives in the Pittsburgh area. The donation would have had to have been made when the shooter was 17.

The one thing that seems likely is they were a gun enthusiast, judging by the Demolition Ranch shirt and using the AR-15. Demolition Ranch is a YouTube site about guns, and they sell a lot of merch through their website. The stuff I've seen is that they don't claim to back a political candidate, although I saw a photo that I couldn't authenticate of Donald Trump Jr. with the owner.

This is how crazies are born.
Enough people spew hateful nametags to the point everyone believes it and rains judgement down on others based on opinions and personal feelings and then the extremists follow the word and put it into action.

this is why i cant stand generalistic labels condemning others based off of differences of opinions.

Racist
Nazi
Rapist

Trump has been called all these things ad nausium.
And some extremist put those hate words into action.

but i thought it was the right that incites violence?

You want voter fraud? Here it is. This is the peak of free election denial. And by who? A Trump hater, very likely a lefty.

Ive been hearing and reading for years how the right wants a war. How they want to end democracy.
You know what?

actions speak louder than words

but there is one word that comes to mind anytime i read some comments.

Hypocrit.

I want peace. Yeah? Really? With all the violent pushing hate labels being tossed out there all the time?

People talking about staged? Okay
How about it was a lefty who did it to provoke trump into turning us into a military state if he wins.

so ill join the game. Here is my opinion im just gonna claim as fact.

The left shot at trump but intentionally did not kill him, In hopes he wins the election and sends us into a civil war. The left wants to tear it all down. How better than to get the other side to do it and then blame them for it????
Genius. Evil genius

But just the Facts!!!!!

Its hilarious how some say Trump will create a war with his words. Yet its the lefts’ words that have caused the first shot.

Just read @Road Ratt comments! Sickening. A guy who claims he wants peace, not killing Trump was a failure.
The double standard is sooo mindboggling insane, i really think more and mote people are simply incapable of using deductive reasoning on thier own actions, speech and behavior.
It all has cause and effect.
Kids growing up reading hate memes constantly and you want peace? Do you not see how our children will grow to become more hateful?

There is only one way to stop hate.

Love.

Someone has to take the high road. Someone has to be the bigger individual. Someone has to stop the endless cycle of hatred.
It starts with ourselves. In our circles of friends. Stop talking about who you hate and why and talk about what you love and why.
We are conditioned to behave and react to atrocities and not beauty.

I truly pray people open their eyes to the cycle they are a part of and realize no matter how much you disagree with someones policies, hate speech does nothing but makes things worse and instigates crazies to do things like this and this could be the tip pf the iceburg.

Stop the hate speech/meme trend.
Be better than the average hater.
Walk above those who have nothing but hate and revenge in their hearts.
Pull away from those who turn their opinions into hatred of anyone who disagrees.
These are the ones who will pull this county down the toilet.
These are the ones who claim they want peace but live their lives hating half of society.
These are the ones who will end this country if we keep feeding off of their hatred.

Break the hate trend. Find something to love and focus on that.
 
This is the real Thomas Crooks (pronouns was/were). What a stupid kid.

But a well played troll by the blond kid, who was obviously trying to look like the middle picture.
