Kinda wondering that too. And for how long he hung out on that roof without getting noticed. Must have been something at least semi-concealable IMHO.
He got noticed by rally attendees as he climbed up, supposedly. That's why there is footage people took of him laying there and of him taking the shots. People were screaming before he shoots as they are trying to get someone in the SS to do something before. There is footage of it in this thread. Too lazy to trawl through 2k posts to find it sorry fren.
 
The one thing I really don't get is how this happened now and not 4-8 years ago. Back then there was a genuine air of vitriol surrounding Trump. He felt like the main antagonist of the entire Earth if you watched American news media. It seemed like a matter of time before someone would try to pull something like this.

But now Trump's energy is so much lower. You don't see trump signs in every other yard driving through the country like you did this time last election season. The media isn't portraying Trump as public enemy number one anymore because they know the scare tactics won't work after we saw how mundane a Trump admin was.

The main difference between 2016 and 2024 is that the Republicans don't like the mean tweets thing and were even more turned off after Jan 6th. In general nobody's really hyped about this election and feels like both choices suck.

It's a bit odd to me because Trump did a pretty good job of sticking to America outside occasional strikes like when the Russians were using illegal gases to attack in Syria. Plus the shittalking of North Korea seemed to stop them doing threatening shit for a bit.

Maybe it's just soreness over DeSantis failing so hard.
 
everyone in this thread complaining about the shooters aim is dumb. the shot was good, it literally hit him. only for trump turning his head a split second before, it probably would have caved his head open. rewatch the clip.
he fired multiple shots and only one even grazed. that's a bad shot.
also, again, aiming for the head is incredibly stupid.

sure if trump wore plates, but to stop even the weak 5.56 (weak compared to 308) you need ~3 layers of kevlar and it's too bulky so if you're really trying to stop that you do ceramic plates.

you can tell when a cop has armor on under clothing. trump imo does not look like that.

inexperience though. it was a redditor soy faggot (read: radicalized). the limpwristed soy antifa doing the forest larp training level.
 
Today has been eye opening.
In a way, i think I never truly realised how fucking GONE some people are. I always assumed that in a pretty damn fucking clear black vs white situation even convinced lefties would at least feign some kind of empathy, or would gracefully shut the fuck up, but clearly I was wrong. Shit, people I thought were at least mildly intelligent, if politically naive, have been saying the stupidest, vilest shit i've seen today.

Realising that people are completely and utterly brainwashed and there is fucking NOTHING i can do about it is both anger inducing at the people who did this to them, and fuckign scary. I don't want to live as a fucking braindead zombie
 
Yeah, but the paranoia and vitriol in online spaces is far worse than last time. These people are holed up in their subreddits (and Twitter, Discord and Telegram groups but I'll use Reddit as the example) and since 2016 the political ones have gotten more and more extreme and more mixed in with trans and communist and whatever else wokeish shit. They isolate themselves and then whip themselves into an irrational frenzy. Just look in the trans threads where people are literally hysterical over a trans genocide that is not happening anywhere in the West.
The "Trans Genocide" is the same shit as deaf people who think their culture is getting erased and thing cochlear implants is Deaf Genocide, Like mother fucker. you're still gonna be alive and around, just you'll have medication that actually treats your mental illness rather than mutilation that makes you kill yourself. we know how to cure gender dysphoria
 
It's quite possible that a legit source told the New York Post the name "Thomas Matthew Crooks" and that the New York Post released that name BEFORE all the others

and then -- @jewgazing (twitter faggot I'm still annoyed at for confusing me) saw that New York Post information and started claiming he is Thomas Matthew Crooks. Then people started spreading pictures of @jewgazing claiming that those pics are of Thomas Matthew Crooks. This episode may have fooled me into thinking that @jewgazing's IRL name = Thomas Matthew Crooks, when it really isn't.

and then -- FBI correspondent tells FOX News Digital that the real name of the wannabe assassin is Thomas Matthew Crooks

of course, there's the possibility that FOX is also misreporting, and their 'FBI correspondent' is a gay ass bullshitting troll, but I'll assume that FOX and their FBI correspondent are legitimate for the time being
I see, so he was purposefully obstructing a federal investigation for the sake of updoots.
I think he should receive a harsh punishment in that situation, "Forcibly taking his internet router, allowing him no dessert, forcing him to eat ALL of his vegetables (even the icky broccoli) and no television or video games for a year." It's tough love, but I think it'll do him some good.
