Can you post a valid form of ID? I’m not certain you’re above the age of 18.

If anyone's got friends or family they want to demonstrate Google's search results shenanigans to they've utterly nuked the results about her. Search her name or her name + news and you get people with completely different surnames first and foremost it's been that shoddily done.

Cannot confirm.

I understand showing empathy for someone with a stressful job making a mistake.

What I'm less willing to believe is this trained police sniper (who we can see is dressed in black, wearing a 'POLICE' vest, which is clearly a uniform as demonstrated by the guy next to him) spent several minutes going:
>"Hmmm... is that shrimpy kid (who I can't contact on radio) wearing desert camo holding a truetimber camo hunting rifle aiming at the president on my team? Better wait for him to fire to make sure!"
I would sooner believe that the Secret Service and local police wouldn't have shed a tear if the shot at Trump landed on-target. That feels less ridiculous than this theory.

The thing that confuses me about this scenario is- even if you aren't sure enough to take the shot, maybe you can't quite see what he's got or doing- where is the response to get the protectee to safety as a caution? The moment someone starts yelling "gun" there should have been a response, if nothing else. If making a joke about a bomb at the airport can get you proned out, there should be some kind of action at a major political rally to a bunch of people yelling about a sniper.

breakdown in communication at the event between different agencies (local versus USSS)? Possible, since they might not have the same radio channels. Hesitance to shut down the speech by having a bunch of suits swarm the speaker?

The response when Reagan was shot was pretty prompt but this looked more like JFK levels of reaction time.

I do not understand trying to claim it's staged considering the three additional victims. Next thing you know they're going to be screaming about false flags and crisis actors.

I seen some already do that. They're all doing that cause they're afraid how badly it'll reflect on not just them, but the biden administration

 

[Irene and 22 others]

I am still curious to know if his father was dead. I don't trust the messages posted her that are supposedly from his mother. It could be a hacked account. The stupidity of those messages seem too over the top and on the nose.

It's obviously made up. There were reporters who had talked with the father shortly after the kid's name came out. The man's name is Matthew Crooks, which means the shooter has his last name and a middle name matching his father's first name, which is fairly common for first born sons. If he were the step-father it would require one hell of a coincidence and the man taking the wife's last name (I know he's a Lolbert, but there are somethings that are a stretch even for them) on top of it.

 

[Dr. Butt]

I think it's kind of cool that there's a Secret Service Lady. I didn't know they had those! She looks good.

 

[Bruce Campbell's Chin]

What's the news on who the killer is, from what I've seen they're claiming it's some dude Thomas Crooks, but other people are saying it's some dude pretending to be him(?).

read the thread faggot

Someone better with words than I am summarises how I feel about the sniper's hesitation.
View attachment 6191050

It is a plausible explanation for why they hesitated. There is still no plausible explanation for how the faggot got on the roof apart from malicious negligence imo. Regardless, it is safe to assume next time there will be no hesitation.

 

[Snip Snappening]

Is there any evidence (i.e. arrest records, archived social media posts, etc) supporting the claim I keep seeing that Thomas Crooks was "a member of 4 different Antifa organizations" and was involved in rioting in multiple West Coast cities, or did someone just pull this out of their ass? At this point, I think we need a thread on the shooter to centralize all of the discussion happening in different threads on this site so people aren't constantly reposting the same pieces of info over and over again.

That'd be a massive help. Given the state of mainstream news I'd trust the conglomerated info of the Kiwis more.

 

[ForgedBlades]

I largely praised the CNN and NBC coverage last night but I'm flipping around the networks now and since the shock has worn off they're already pivoting back to both sidesing and how January 6th set the stage for this. Yesterday could have been a pivot point for legacy media to start regaining at least a shred of credibility but they unsurprisingly double down.

My default is usually Hanlon's razor.

He's been here longer than you. Or are you admitting this is a sock account?

 

[Betonhaus]

I think it's kind of cool that there's a Secret Service Lady. I didn't know they had those! She looks good.

sadly she doesn't have high heels and a tight fitting blazer and skirt over a curvy body

 

[Jet Fuel Johnny]

Well, here's some fairly recent news.

And the video I'd been looking for:

And a meme for you to enjoy...



Oh, little edit:

Two things have been confirmed:

Trumps SS detail have been requesting additional funding, gear, and manpower for months and have been refused. A few politicians have even tried to have his SS detail stripped from him.

The SS has had to rely on 3rd party contractors and local law enforcement.

The delay could also have been "Do you have a retard on the fucking roof over there, PD? Crackrock, is that one of your faggots? TBI-Industries, how about... OH SHIT!"

All that really seems to known about Crooks thus far amounts to this:
1. Graduated from high school in 2022.
2. Did not have a criminal history.
3. Motive is currently unknown.
4. It is believed the weapon that was used had been purchased by the shooter's father.
5. Explosives were found in the car belonging to the gunman.
6. A high school classmate vaguely said he was a loner outcast type of person in school.
7. Records show Crooks was registered as a Republican but federal campaign finance reports show he donated $15 to a progressive political action committee the day Biden was sworn into office in 2021.

Well, hey, the is now case law saying all the journos and figures saying so can be sued into the ground for more money than God.

 

[Betonhaus]

So now I'm wondering when the first copycat shows up. Trump nearly died, and that marks the start of open season on politicians.

 

[Bucephalus]

National? Socialismed.

I'm a kiwigger

 

[Soycast Guy]

Or I'm an old user, who was locked out of their account. lol
But they did try to assassinate the president, and you'd be wise to be suspicious.

Even of an honest fellow like me.

Name your account.

In most circumstances I would agree, but when glowies are involved all bets are off.
