It's early on .... we just have to wait and see what all is found out about the perpetrator.This thread is about the crime and perpetrator. Obviously Trump was the target, but this thread is not about him or anything pertaining to him specifically.
“The FBI has identified Thomas Matthew Crooks, 20, of Bethel Park, Pennsylvania, as the subject involved in the assassination attempt of former President Donald Trump on July 13, in Butler, Pennsylvania.
This remains an active and ongoing investigation, and anyone with information that may assist with the investigation is encouraged to submit photos or videos online at FBI.gov/butler or call 1-800-CALL-FBI.”
I think we've seen more families torn apart by progressives than by Trump.Maybe the shooter has seen his family torn apart by devotion to Donald Trump. I estimate thousands of American families have been negatively affected by this Trump craze. The damage done is likely inconceivable to your average American. But we are definitely seeing the consequences and repercussions of the Trump movement being manifested in our society. Hopefully some positive changes might come out of this senseless tragedy. This could humble as many people as it enrages. But sadly this violence usually begets more of the same. And it appears more Americans are willing to accept political violence after the January 6th debacle.

Probably not the same person. There are at least three other people with the same name in Pittsburgh.Donated 15$ to Act Blue, a Democratic Party PAC in 2021, but again, this isn't a substantial piece of evidence for anything.
So far my suspicions about him are being confirmed.He fits the predominant profile of many shooters being males somewhere between 18-22 years old. I'm expecting him to be another young white male loner who's motive, plan, message etc to be found on his laptop and somewhere on social media or a blog.

Yep. Any "Thomas Matthew Crooks" you can still find in social media is the wrong one.Usually, when younger people like this commit such crimes, they often leave behind "manifestos" or several breadcrumbs on their social media (which I'm sure the Secret Service and FBI have already subpoenaed)
The 15102 zip code is Bethel Park PA though.Probably not the same person. There are at least three other people with the same name in Pittsburgh.

That's why I went with probably not the same person, rather than it's not the same person. I just can't see a 20-year-old who registered as a Republican at 18, was bullied for wearing hunting attire to school, and loved guns, as the one that would have donated to Act Blue. It's possible I guess.The 15102 zip code is Bethel Park PA though.
