Shout out to someone who knows how to shut the fuck up
I was just thinking that instead of googling something incriminating or boasting to all his friends about what he's about to do, the shooter did a little op sec.
Hey, he can put his points into computer skills or gun skills
bit idea, he puts his points into speech and just tells Trump to kys
Have they considered that sometimes guns just do that, and maybe the dude was trying to stop the gun the entire time?
That cop fled the roof because he needed to grab his tactical holy water out of the trunk
it's crazy, this has to be the only 20-year-old who's online enough to have Demolition Ranch merch and yet have no social media pages
He might be so online that he had his account scrubbing bots running the night before to purge himself from the internet. We might never know.
Even with scrubbing the accounts there would be signs of scrubbing them and a shit ton of cached or otherwise not actually deleted data
They wanna wrap up that they entrapped a really bad shot to do this and held their breath as he ALMOST succeeded. Lol
My theory (only partly joking) is that he was hired to miss Trump but was such a bad shot that he missed his designated off target. Like those theories about Oswald being there to removedKennedy into empowering the security state only he misses
It's like I told a chud yesterday, the problem with being conspiratorial is that all of those stories you keep telling yourself fall flat. What obviously happened is that the Secret Service was incompetent as shit because this detail was picked by the Donald or someone close to him. It's not like the Secret Service has a clean history with their agents to begin with. In a way it's DEI for white people as he chose his own people for the "loyalty" rather than anything else.
There was a guy on the radio the other day who had been part of Bush's protective detail and talked about how the SS usually did 'close protection' meaning the guys around Trump and the stage and extended threat like the snipers we saw who would be aiming much further out. He said that the close-to-middle-distance that the shooter was in was usually designated to local police to secure.
If that's the case, then it's even more unsurprising that the cops half-arsed it and reacted way too late.
Not to defend cops but they have a solid argument of "thanks to the gun laws in PA he didn't do anything illegal until he pulled the trigger"
I can't admire the president's visage through this rifle scope? I'm sorry, I thought this was AMERICA!
Crawling around on barn roofs with an ar-15 is basically the national pass time of that particularly blighted part of the country.
It's like the Mythbusters episode where they tested climbing ducts with magnets and there was a shot of Adam standing there as you heard bang bang bang from the ducts and he was like "I think somebody is trying to break into my building" except that the cops weren't smart enough to figure that out.
If that's the case, then it's even more unsurprising that the cops half-arsed it and reacted way too late.
Are you?
Show
>all we found is that, in 2019, he made $26 dollars trading on robinhood
This is why I'll never do an adventurism, my opsec is nowhere near this good
I don't think it's even opsec. I think he just woke up one day and chose violence.
My guess is that he was suicidal, but wanted to be in the history books, saw that Trump was having a rally near him around when he decided to do it, and opportunity struck.
Watching chuds spread misinformation on him is so frustrating
He was an antifa liberal??? Are you sure? He's not an idiot gun nut redneck from the middle of nowhere?
We live in a post truth society, he is going to be whatever people want him to be
If you think this was a false flag, as many do, he was quite successful actually.
You never know. Maybe the current Trump’s a clone and they altered the footage.
Die hard JD Vance never trumper enraged by the heel turn to maga sycophant and blames trump for it
Who could see two days into the future or accidentally lathed it
They're just saying that to lull the co-conspirators into a false sense of relief.
Any day now the FBI will, completely unrelated, arrest a climate activist or something. I dunno. Whatever it is they do besides post on Reddit.
Convince an alienated and mentally impaired Muslim man to flip a switch.
Every time I remember that kid who harvested clocks or whatever it was until he built his own nuclear reactor my brain immediately thinks of all those entrapment plots they pulled after 9/11.
Like damn, Feds, maybe check in on the white boys a little more often.
I keep thinking of that one joke about witnessing JFK's assassination and the guy saying "holy shit that was meant for me!"
Except the target was Corey
The idea of his motive being a personal grievance against a boomer catturd reply guy and him being a shitty marksman and hitting Trump entirely by accident is so goddamn funny
I found a YouTube link in your comment. Here are links to the same video on alternative frontends that protect your privacy:
perhaps he was planning on trying to get away with afterwards and so erased everything so he could disappear easier?
come Feds, at least make up a motive. say he was mad about buying a donald trump steak and it tasted bad. something.
I honestly feel like based on dude's... skull... and being a 20yo registered republican, they probably went to his house and his room was just a window into absolute madness induced by 16 hours a day gooning, posting about Jewish conspiracies on 4chan, and growing up in conservative-ass "no future" bumfuck western PA (alternatively known as Eastern Ohio or Northern Kentucky). The FBI was like "yeah, so... who wants to make the fake dono? Take care of that, say "motive unknown" and we can move on."
In seriousness though, I feel like if we learned all this guy's browsing habits, especially over the last year or so, it would be so fucking bleak that you just gotta go "any reason he may have tried to articulate is irrelevant. The reason was the same as any school shooter. Hopelessness and despair turned into nihilism and a chance at being remembered for anything at all."
searching his room, finding it plastered with punisher skull/bald eagle/anti-woke/gun-crazy crap: "Nothing to see here, everything looks perfectly normal"It's like that lady who said she wasn't involved in politics while being front and center at a Trump rally.
I think we are underappreciating how many dipshits in this country don't consider their beliefs politicial because "it's what I think so it's the normal position, all the other positions are the political ones"
Like in video games how there's two races, white and political. I think there really are a lot of mouth breathing chuds out there who that is unironically their entire worldview.
The wife of the chud who got shot said she was non-political as well, despite refusing to take a phone call from the sitting president to honor her husband's memory
Look we've got two sides in this country, Republicans and The Political
Yea that's who I was talking about in her statement she said she doesn't get involved in politics then a sentence later said she was voting for Trump.
So many people, libs especially, fail to understand that the colloquial meaning of "political" especially to reactionaries, doesn't mean involving politics, it means involving heterodox politics.
Kneeling at a football game during the Anthem is "political" yet having players stand for the Anthem, which is recent and part of a military recruitment campaign (not joking) somehow isn't.
I live in a liberal enclave inside a larger red area and I've found that "no politics allowed" never actually means that, it just means toe the line or GTFOH, which can be initially confusing being that there's two very different clashing ideologies common in the area, separated by some very fuzzy boundaries, both of which I disagree with.Yea noticed the same thing. "No politics" means chuds are allowed to say gay people are pedophiles and should be rounded up but also means you can't call them a dumbshit bigot for saying that, that would be political.
Don’t those guys pretty much always have some kind of manifesto though? It seems strange to give your life over to a political act, and then make sure no-one knows what your politics are
I have a theory that he meant to make Trump a martyr and rile up the right in some way, Helter Skelter kind of thing, in which case it would make sense not to explain what he's doing.
It would have been really funny to read a right winger pretend to be a dem shooter in their manifesto though.
Wasn’t
like, “I don’t like the guy, his weirdo cultists friends fucked up my mom”That's actually a really clear and well articulated motive. "He stole my money so I killed him." Is as reasonable as it gets.
Yeah, but I don’t get the feeling that the dude saw his struggle and ultimate decision to assassinate Abe as political. Our analysis ties up what happened to him with American imperialism and the use of far right religious extremists to exert control over East Asia. His reading was “Fuck that guy”
That was unconfirmed last I heard.
Do you have a source that says one way or another?
Pretty sure the name and address of the donation matched the shooter
hasan said yesterday that turned out to be wrong, but I don't have the receipts
Either that or his motive was "he's really obviously a viscous pedophile, he's been close personal friends with espstein for decades" and all the movers and shakers agreed they don't wanna put that pretty reasonable explanation out
perhaps he was planning on trying to get away
I think he was because he had improvised explosives in his car and at his house. No reason to make those unless you plan to be alive to use them.
didn't the cops say "bomb-making materials" which could easily be a lie about something mundane
This is what I found. They don’t go into specifics tho.
Police found explosives in Thomas Matthew Crooks' car after he shot at Donald Trump.
https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/crime/police-found-explosives-inside-the-car-of-suspected-trump-rally-shooter-thomas-matthew-crooks/ar-BB1pY0p9
Edit: other sources saying bombs too, but AP says “bomb making materials” so idk
or just decided being a school shooter was ridiculous and the way to get real notoriety is
Honestly this is my prevailing theory. Suicide by shooting up a school or a strip mall, then Trump comes to town so fuck it, why not?
The silicon chip inside his head gets switched to overload,
but he wasn't plannin' to shoot up a school today,
He's gonna plan something more bold
And no one saw the red flags of him
Nor his intent, by his good OpSec
So we could see no reason
Not a hint of reason
to shoot Donald Trump at all
Eh, I'm too lazy to make another one, plus, ye do realize by the first line which song I'm parodying 'ere, eh?
I hope the FBI doesn't bury the lead with this one, I really want to know why he did it.
The "lone gunman" always have the same motive, becoming an anti-hero instead of a looser. It doesn't really matter what went on in their sad little brains before the killing started. Usually it is some coked-up version of a fascist fairytale, but as said, they all have the same motive. Rewriting the story about their sad underdog lives. They are an homage to conservative rebellion against liberalism.
At first I was convinced he was going to be on the left and was registered to vote for the worst R in the primaries, but the more (or less) I learn about this person I'm starting to think he's one of the "old school" conservatives, who has conservative parents, and actually gives a fuck about conservativism, who just so happens to be a "quiet kid" with not much online presence.
One of the actual conservatives and not today's fake, Republican version of conservative.
It's kinda fucked in a way, leftists and centrist conservatives have almost no representation in government unless you consider most Democrats to be centrist conservatives but they why don't principled conservatives vote for them? All we have as far as representation are center left and far right...
the "actual conservatives" would be fine with all the same atrocities that fascists want if it had the right coat of paint and civility over it so they could feel good about it. MAGA weirdos aren't fake conservatives, they're if anything more honest conservatives. Less liberal veneer than old school republicans sometimes had, but the substance? it's not that different
Also to be clear, liberals are right wing under any meaningful definition
Nah I think he's your standard run-of-the-mill mass shooter. If Trump didn't happen to roll through his town he would have shot up a movie theater or school.
but they why don't principled conservatives vote for them?
Because the team they supported was a religion to them
You're telling me this kid owns youtuber merch but does not have any online accounts?
Bullshit.
they said he has discord, and sure he probably has youtube, but that doesn't mean he posted about his adventurism plans on either
Ha, true I guess.
"Adventurism"
"Breakfast Program"
yoooo what if he was going for corey
