Is this a drone photo taken of Thomas Crooks before the rally? Is it fake?
07/14/2024 | ME!

Photos, Tweets, X posts, Instagram videos and more of the shooting yesterday have spread over the internet like wildfire. Many are fakes and hoaxes.

Early on this photo made it's way from the shadows. I first saw it here at Free Republic.

It was reported to be a drone photo of Thomas Crooks on the rooftop before he shot President Trump, killed an innocent man, and wounded others.

And with this before pic - we see an after pic of what I'm convinced is the same guy.

I've really not seen this "drone picture" since maybe last midnight. I've certainly seen no news coverage or reporting on this. Was there even a drone?

Does anyone know how and where this before picture came from? Is it legit or another hoax?

But, then again, the two pictures are two different sleeves.

I don’t think it matters anyway…just us goobers speculating.

The dark patch (flag) is on the right sleeve. These shirts have no graphics on the left.

More current news on the demolitia shirt........

The suspected shooter of former President Donald Trump apparently was wearing a T-shirt advertising “Demolition Ranch,” a popular gun-themed YouTube channel with San Antonio-area ties.

Images posted to social media after the incident show the 20-year-old suspect, Thomas Matthew Crooks, wearing a short-sleeved gray T-shirt that appears to match the YouTube channel’s “Demolitia” shirt.

The Secret Service said it killed the shooter after he allegedly fired several shots at Trump during a campaign rally in Pennsylvania. The images show armed agents standing over the body. The logo on the sleeve of the shirt and some letters of the “Demolitia” logo are visible.

Demolition Ranch is a YouTube channel hosted by Dr. Matt Carriker, a Boerne-area veterinarian and firearm enthusiast who launched the brand in 2011. It’s since grown to have more than 11.6 million subscribers who tune in to watch Carriker and his friends shoot weapons, detonate explosives, review weapons and offer firearms safety and education.

Carriker, who calls himself “King of the Demolitia,” posted an image of the shooter’s body with the words “What the hell” Saturday evening on Instagram.

“Last night was crazy … I’ve got news stations calling me asking if I ever spoke with the shooter,” he said in a Sunday morning post on X. “What … the … hell.”

“...Is this a drone photo taken of Thomas Crooks before the rally?
Is it fake?...”
-
1- I don’t think it is from a drone, but
it is a picture of him a long time before the rally.

2- No, it is not fake.

In both pictures you can see grass. Far below.

Now the before picture shows a different edge of the roof line than does the second picture.Can we account for that by saying the roof had different edges? Who knows?

I can agree with your comments. But as I pointed out earlier...

While this may be pictures taken some time apart - he must really like that shirt. It’s the same shirt.

It’s him and it looks to be wearing the same shirt. I’m going to bet it was taken of him before he went up on the roof because he’s on concrete and next to grass.

That video is a hoax. Debunked right away. That fool is not Crooks.

You could be right, But a drone pic taken from 60 feet away may not show an accurate representation of the height factors. It’s grass all right. But 30 feet down?

And most commercial rooftops are concrete. So there’s that.

That’s a possibility. That name came up early on yesterday. But I think it was also debunked early on and everyone moved on to Thomas Crooks.

I don't think so. Compare earlobes with he dead guy. The dead guy doesn't appear to have have any significant work done to his ears.

And I’d bet that multiple drones are simultaneously transmitting hi def images that software integrates into an overall battlefield plan.

This looks much more like the guy on the roof.

And, with his front teeth missing, could his death shot be self inflicted?

Snipers trade mark. In the “T” zone.

"I think that’s that Violeta (?)."

I had that as Mark Violets... I can't find the photo they're in question.
