I thought Maxwell Yearick was the shooter. He even has gauges that match the healing on his ears.

The news keeps reporting Thomas Matthew Crooks is the shooter but last night I saw a lot of people connect that name to an X user @Jewgazing. The user tried to troll media outlets by posting a photo of himself and claiming the shooter had been identified. It seems they really have run with it, I've seen outlets lie that he's been identified with DNA by the FBI. I'm not convinced they would have gotten the DNA report that fast.

Thomas's account is no longer protected but he's since deleted all of his posts and changed his pfp. Assuming he wasn't hauled in by the secret service already, people should browse the chan boards where you'll probably find this guy bragging about the media coverage. Am I wrong and is Thomas really the shooter? He just doesn't look like the guy to me.

You must be the manager. I can tell since you’re believing anything on 4chan. But really, it’s the guy that the AP is reporting on. That’s how you know a bullshit narrative crumbles. It’s a tasty cookie.
 
According to CBS, "Former Classmate Jameson Myers, a member of the school's varsity rifle team, told CBS News that Crooks had tried out for the team freshman year but did not make the junior varsity roster and did not return to try out for the team in subsequent years."

Faggot tried out for a competitive shooting team, didn't make the cut, and decided to gamble his life away on trying to assassinate a president anyway. Know your strengths, people.
Thomas never had the makings of a varsity athlete
 
It first appeared in the middle of last night on some retarded site in India. The Indian story had no supporting information at all. But its being endlessly repeated now and there is no way to stop it.
If it's not proven and no evidence shows up then I think the most comprehensive overview of what's known is the article Desu Mountain posted + the parent's voter info. Which is kind of a good thing as it's simple to link to that.

I'll also go and edit the claim out of my voter info post real quick, now that I think of it.

You know what, I honestly think this might have the opposite effect.

This just goes to show that somebody can have the perfect weapon, the perfect shot, the perfect position, against the most incompetent bodyguards, in the middle of broad daylight, and even though they'll have all the best cards in the deck stacked in the palm of their hand, they'll still get felted and lose everything in the end.
The shooters only need to get lucky once, and with the mental health crisis that's a gamble they may be willing to take

From the AP:

One local police officer climbed to the roof and encountered Crooks, who pointed his rifle at the officer. The officer retreated down the ladder, and Crooks quickly took a shot toward Trump, and that’s when Secret Service snipers shot him, said the officials, who spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity to discuss an ongoing investigation.

If that is true, the level of incompetence by everyone involved is just incredible. They knew a guy was up on the roof overlooking the event. They don't have the snipers zeroed in on him. They send officer dumbass up the ladder to have a talk with the fella about why he is up on that there roof.

He points a rifle at officer dumbass who runs away. The counter snipers are not looking at the roof with the guy on it. And he takes a shot at Trump that nearly hits him.

If true (and this is the AP saying this), it almost points to them having a policy of not aggressively dealing with potential threats and letting a sniper get off the first shot before responding.

We do indeed live in a society.
I realize that coincidences happen and people aren't perfect but it is getting fucking difficult to not think this was a glowie-sanctioned assassination that just happened to not succeed.
 
The best thing that you can hope for is that people become increasingly disillusioned and skeptical of news outlets. The whiplash between the coverage yesterday and today will make less people trust them.

Anyone watching CNN or MSNBC at this point is already too brain rotted to come back to reality and has already cozied into a silo with fellow bugmen who will not challenge their view of reality.

*Some* Secret Service ladies make sense. Useful for social events and to blend into a crowd. But you sure as shit don't use them as your heavies. And above all, you don't diversity hire them. You still need your crowd blending woman to be as highly competent as possible.

The Secret Service does more than just protect the President and other important officials. One of their other primary (and I think their actual original) jobs is anything related to counterfeit currency and other related financial crimes. Anyone can do those jobs, but putting women on any kind of security detail instead of bigger, stronger men is stupid. Anyone, man or woman, who couldn't drag a wounded president safely into cover by themselves is unfit for the job.
 
I'm not admitting to socking, I was genuinely locked out of my account. True and honest.

Hopefully the jannies spare a wretch like me.
Getting banned for socking is only for users that were banned in the first place. There's plenty of active Kiwis that were locked out that are just using a new account with a slightly changed username, often with the same profile picture.

Is it so hard to believe when we recently had Uvalde where 100's of cops stood around outside and did the exact opposite of what you'd assume Law Enforcement would do? And that was regarding the lives of children, where you'd think people would fling themselves into danger readily as a cop and with of the political complications.

Cops can be moron cowards too and we have hours of video evidence of it from one event alone.
 
I've seen outlets lie that he's been identified with DNA by the FBI. I'm not convinced they would have gotten the DNA report that fast.

Its a strange situation. Because it was claimed that he had no ID at all at the scene. That with his head blown away, he couldn't be visually identified and the only choice was to identify him through DNA. But what DNA would they test him against?

I think they knew from materials not at the scene of death who he was (like his car) and they ran a simple DNA test to confirm he was who they thought he was.
