Here's what the Lame Stream Media says we know about the alleged shooter so far:
State voter records show that Mr Crooks was a registered Republican. The upcoming 5 November election would have been the first time he was old enough to vote in a presidential race.
He lived about an hour away from where the shooting took place in Butler. The Federal Aviation Administration said that it closed the airspace over Bethel Park for "special security reasons."
When Thomas Crooks was 17, he made a $15 donation to ActBlue, a political action committee that raises money for left-leaning and Democratic politicians, according to a 2021 Federal Election Commission filing.
The donation was earmarked for the Progressive Turnout Project, a national group that rallies Democrats to vote. The groups did not immediately respond to a Reuters request for comment.
Mr Crooks' father, Matthew, 53, told CNN that he was trying to figure out what happened and would wait until he spoke to law enforcement before speaking about his son.
Thomas Crooks graduated in 2022 from Bethel Park High School, according to the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review.
The newspaper reported that he received a $500 "star award" from the National Math and Science Initiative.
A 2022 graduation ceremony video cited by the New York Times shows Crooks receiving his high school diploma to some applause.
Video from that ceremony posted online shows Thomas Crooks with glasses in a black graduation gown and posing with a school official. Reuters could not immediately verify the authenticity of the video.
Law enforcement officials said that Crooks carried no identification to the site of the shooting and had to be identified using other methods.
"We're looking at photographs right now and we're trying to run his DNA and get biometric confirmation," Kevin Rojek, FBI special agent in charge, said during a press briefing.
USA Today reported that dozens of law enforcement vehicles were stationed outside a residence listed at the address on Crooks' voter registration record.
I was on lake winni all day yesterday, enjoying life immensely, then got home to this shit show. I have a lot of questions, and as usual, the MSM is droning on with their 'assault-style' weapon BS while providing little or no real information.
Pulling up google maps on the butler (VA) farm show grounds I measure a basic distance between the shooter and Trump.
400-450ft. (!)
That's a VERY CLOSE DISTANCE TO GET A CLEAR SHOT on a non-moving target.
A lot of speculation about the caliber gun shooter used. .22 seems most likely, from the severity of Trumps wound. Which raises some serious questions.
Shooters history suggests he was a RINO. The worst kind of democrats, who will register as R to try to disrupt the primary. Or worse: infiltrate and disrupt political offices. If he registered R and donated to ACTBLUE, he's a RINO.
He was wearing a Demolition Ranch T shirt (Youtube pro gun channel). But he couldn't shoot for shit. And choosing a .22 for an assassination attempt is ridiculous if you know anything about guns.
Anyways, a semi competent shooter will have an MOA <1.0 at 100 yards with a .22. Thats a tight shot group.
But he missed hard.. Meaning he can't shoot for shit. And who's rifle is that anyways if he doesn't shoot?
This sounds like a FBI operation now, with a poorly trained patsy, wearing a t-shirt meant to help with parallel operations. (The nwo has a hard on for gun 'control').
But, the .22 makes no sense if they wanted Trump dead.
Are the FBI getting cheap? There were a set of false flag shootings where the shooters had $30k+ of gear, including matching rifles and pistols.. With no obvious means of acquiring such gear.
Maybe the FBI are learning a lesson or two, like how they finally figured out to put the Proud Boys in different boots, rather than letting them all just choose their own boots (they all bought $800 boots, because obv: use that unlimited FBI budget).
And the SS ignoring threats? I don't know where to start with that one. SS should be considered severely compromised from Trump perspective. I expect they are.
I'm leaning 70% someone set this kid up to take one for the blue team. 30% he was just off his rocker. The motive is too strong right now for the D's/DS to even have plausible deniability imo.
EDIT 7/14 11:30am est: I'm going 95% set up as a patsy now that new information has come out: The kid was in a blackrock commercial piece. That means he had developed contacts with blackrock people. And that's a big WTF. (Blackrock is enmeshed with the biden regime). Looks like a sloppy hit, AND MAKE NO MISTAKE, the SS had to have let the shooter get as far as he did, nevermind get off 5 shots and have NO active shooter system set-up.
leaving 0% for the whole thing being a script?
You. ain't. wrong.
why so certain that you would say there's zero chance of it being scripted?
I'm agreeing with you. Def a chance this is a script. But motive is unclear.
We got a dead body. Pretty bad day for that guy. I just think the general level of incompetence we've seen from the FEDbois makes it a slim outlier.
3rd party whacko taking a shot: they've done this scenario a lot.
