It's not staged because he actually got shot in the ear and you damn well know he isn't going to play with his own life like that. Yeah, he got out of serving in Vietnam, because his father knew a doctor that was willing to say he had bone spurs. He isn't going to risk his life with live ammunition fired anywhere near him. Edit: but he knew how to look tough and defiant when they got the message that the shooter was down.
alejandreaux Posted July 14 Posted July 14 the more info i try to find about this shooter the more confused i become he was a registered Republican in 2022, but he also donated $15 to ActBlue in 2021? people are saying it's possible he was only registered as a Republican so he could affect the primaries in Pennsylvania or something. but then he was also wearing a "Demolitia" T-shirt, which apparently is a right-wing gun enthusiast YouTube channel? i'm so lost man 1 1

Popular Post State of Grace. Posted July 14 Popular Post Posted July 14 Watching so many Dems posting sympathetic messages and doling out more effusive compassion to Trump than they've ever uttered for Palestinians in the last +9 months is exactly why they will be the ones responsible for losing the election. You can post your boring, generic, full-of-**** "there is no place for political violence! we strongly condemn this!" statements and stfu. Saying **** like "wishing him a speedy recovery! praying for him!" is just crazy. 21 8

Reminds me when the "brave patriots" and "bidens hostages" of january 6th were called the antifa and that there was no chance their "patriots" would attack the law enforcement. The same people are now measuring the circumference of the shooters arm to determine his political views because he's not buff enough to be a gun republican or whatever 2
dumbsparce Posted July 14 Posted July 14 If it wasn't staged, why did the guards not escort him immediately and instead gave the shooter more chances to shoot by just standing there? Then again the shooter got eliminated and there was one victim from the audience so idk what to think. Also, how did they get to the shooter so quickly? My first thought was definitely that it was giving Kesha at the gas station though.

Thanks, I took a look at some of the comments and some of them make sense. He might have donated to a progressive PAC after losing a bet when Biden was inaugurated. There are still a lot of contradictions of course, when a registered Republican tries to kill the Republican candidate. 1

We don't really know the identity of the shooter yet. He kinda looked like Crooks and the media irresponsably ran with it. Crooks tweeted that he talked to a lawyer and is going to sue them. 1

My first thought was definitely that it was giving Kesha at the gas station though. There wasn't a back room they could quickly get him to like other rallies that are indoors. That's why they literally piled on top of him at first to cover his whole body, until they got word the shooter was neutralized. Yeah it's definitely odd that they were able to kill the shooter so quickly, but they didn't see him getting into position beforehand? Unless they all just assumed he was on their side - weird. And then how they assumed/knew there was only one shooter, that's definitely another question.

Yes, we do. It's a different person with the same name.

The person on the video from Twitter trolling is not Thomas Crooks. He is a twitter user named Jewgazing trolling cause people took his photo cause he looks like the security cam footage of Thomas. The FBI confirmed the shooter is Thomas Michael Crooks. Edited July 14 by Communion
PoisonPill Posted July 14 Posted July 14 That photo is going to be one of the most iconic in American history and may win him the election. I have to hand it to him for having the split-second instinct to create that political moment in putting his fist up and chanting "fight!" while bleeding from the head. 2 2 3 1 1
