Hunter Bidens laptop could have stopped this. Dark Brandon will kill again!
I can’t be the only one who didn’t give much weight to the “registered Republican” thing, right? I’ve considered registering as Republican just to do damage control in their primaries, and I know people who’ve done just that.
That being said, if this guy really does turn out to be a Republican I fully expect conservatives to try and gaslight everyone into thinking he was actually Antifa or something.
Republican, democrat, something else: I think it’s all plausible, we don’t know anything about the person or their motives yet.
He did attempt to kill a fascist so he literally is an anti-fascist.
We don’t know his reasoning so until that becomes clear questions remain.
He might have been brother of a child rape victim, he might have loved Stormy Daniels until she was soiled by Trump, he might just be a old school Republican tired of the crazy in charge of his party. All seem reasonable things to hate Trump for but none are reason to kill him.
I’d rather Trump face jail time than die from an assassin. Him bitching to his cellie because he isn’t allowed to have his phone and Truth Social access is a far better fate for him.
Voting is anonymous. He would have to tell someone how he voted for anyone to know. Unless you mean the primaries, in which case, he’d have to register for the party primary he wanted to vote in ahead of time. Having grown up in PA, I can tell you that it’s common practice to change parties depending on which party has the more consequential primary. I’ve done this myself, multiple times. Maybe he’s right wing. Maybe he’s left wing. But Lemmy propagandists aren’t going to wait to find out.
So he read about Doe 147 and got even more disgusted than I did? Which, yeah. I don’t blame him if that was his motive.
That was some of the sickest shit I’ve ever read about someone with so much power and influence.
Re: recently unsealed Epstein documents uncover who Doe 147 is (trump) and recounts some of the experiences told by the abused girls.
This doesn’t look like the same person as Crooks. I saw a video of someone that looks similar to the dude in this picture make a troll video after the fact saying HE was the shooter and he’s “still out there”. It very much seems like either this same person made an IG account immediately after to mess with people or someone else saw that video and chose to make this account to mess with people. Either way, I don’t think this is the same person as the shooter.
Maybe some 2nd amendment people still take the defending against tyranny bit seriously.
I know I certainly do. But seriously, was the shooter a republican? I’ve been traveling for the past 48 hours and apparently missed all the fun.
Allegedly registered republican but also allegedly donated small amount of money to Biden PAC.
Don’t count your chickens yet… Could just be another apolitical psychopath
He was only 20, registered as a republican. But could’ve done that as part of his plan to make it look like infighting.
Him being registered republican doesn’t necessarily mean he still feels that way. He made a blue political donation. Some people register with a certain party just because their parents are present when they sign up.
I don’t think there is currently enough public information to build an accurate profile on him.
He made a blue political donation
To a GOTV PAC. On inauguration day.
About as useful as tits on a tractor.
Well, if you’re a lonely farmer and there aren’t any single and willing women around, tits on a tractor could be very useful.
He was 20 and registered to vote in 2021 (which is public information), so he wouldn’t have had a lot of time to change his mind
Someone with same first and last name as him made a donation after the 2020 election.
You can look up the receipt on the FEC and the address is listed as 2506 Milford Drive, which is the same address as his voter registration and what’s being reported on the news. I keep seeing this “there is another Thomas Crooks” narrative online and wanted to confirm myself.
It’s always the ones you suspect the most
