nypost.com/2024/07/13/us-news/

Okay, so now FBI has Confirmed Thomas Matthew Crooks was the shooter according to Phil Williams, reporter for News Channel 5 in Nashville, Tenn.

@Usama_Backhair @Render @th3j35t3r

idk ever other outlet are saying FBI have yet to fully identify him - only saying he's a 20 something male from Pennsylvania

I'd air on caution when only 1 outlet is naming a name so far

@ecksmc
Yup, there are also some vids of his graduation, some pics of him from social media, and of course a cadaver shot from some social media friendly cop after they neutralized him, I'll flag the last one if you guys want to see it, but I'd prefer to just skip posting it here unless you want to see it and say so.
@Render @th3j35t3r

@Usama_Backhair @ecksmc @th3j35t3r

MSN has also mentioned the same name.

You don't need to post any pix.

@ecksmc @Render @th3j35t3r

to be honest it's seems less than sure that the person they photo'd on that roof after the fact is this thomas Crooks character, from pics I've seen, so hopefully they'll get some better info

@Usama_Backhair Ha! That should knock some wind out of maga sails. And frankly, if trump is pissing off his own followers that much, it's good for Biden 👍🏻

@Liliki
Yeah it's early in the investigation but so far it's as weird as I expected it to be, being Pennsylvania and all 🤔 🤷‍♂️

@Usama_Backhair if he is or if he isn’t…really, it doesn’t matter. He was a murderer and a would-be assassin. He could have been a Democrat who registered Republican on purpose. He could have been a Republican who committed his crime because he was deranged and obsessed with a movie star. Or a hundred other reasons. His party affiliation can’t make what he did any better or worse.

@hendrey @Usama_Backhair it shouldn’t but this is where we’re at unfortunately

@SallySparrow @hendrey

Umm, yeah...

thanks you so much for your feedback on what you apparently used a crystal ball to determine I was thinking, when I posted the evidence New York Post and several OSINT sleuths reported so far, but I am pretty sure the crystal ball misinformed you about my thoughts on what this means or what it says, and going forward please be advised that I direct MY OWN thoughts on what this evidence indicates, which I've so far shared with neither of you, Mkay? thanks 👍

@SallySparrow @hendrey

Why don't WE agree I will think my OWN thoughts, and you direct and think YOURS, and lets not get that "mixed up" and "topsy turvy" again in the future.

@Usama_Backhair @SallySparrow You’re seeing other people’s opinions in a forum meant in large part for seeing other people’s opinions. It’s not a big deal.

@hendrey
You don't get to have an "opinion" about what the operation of my mind is; about what I'm thinking, unless I inform you of what I'm thinking first.

You can't have an opinion on something you know nothing about. You may ASK me what I'm thinking, but don't lie about what I'm thinking so you can splatter in your commentary.

@SallySparrow

@Usama_Backhair I’ll wait until someone other than the post confirms

@Usama_Backhair Alright - the shooter turning out to be a Republican means this'll probably turn into a real fun political shitshow.

It would've been bad if it turned out to be a Democrat; they would've milked that HARD for political points.

It's much harder to milk an assassination attempt for political points if the perp is a member of the same party. Sectarianism doesn't pull votes.

It seems VERY likely this will be a nucleation site for significant infighting within the Republican party.

@Usama_Backhair I have a feeling this will appropriately describe the impending political infighting (from our perspective): youtube.com/watch?v=MK6TXMsvgQ

@IrelandTorin

🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 and short, bald Ivan Raiklin will be chased around the RNC by Roger Stone as he slaps him loudly on his chrome dome

@IrelandTorin
They're already just lying and saying it's not really Crooks, Roger Stone has already started as we speak, so we'll see

@Usama_Backhair I have a feeling adding on a bunch of lies may just make the situation worse for them.

'Cause you'll get the ones who believe the lies arguing with the ones who don't believe them, and then each camp will spawn innumerable sub-arguments about the exact minutiae... oh yeah it might be a good idea to make some popcorn.
