A neighbor of the 20-year-old who tried to assassinate former President Donald Trump said there have been pro-Trump signs on display in the yard of his family's home.
Authorities identified Thomas Matthew Crooks as the gunman who opened fired from a rooftop as the former president spoke at a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, on Saturday. The presumptive Republican nominee was rushed off stage by Secret Service agents after a bullet hit his right ear

The little loser probably tried it so he could be famous (albeit post-mortem) as the guy that did it.
And he could have “reconnoitered” the scene from the comfort of his own room by using Google Earth.
But how did he know which roof would be unguarded?
Well the guy who shot and killed John Lennon was a fan. The person who killed Selena was a fan… so perhaps not so far fetched.
The issue isn’t the shooter. It’s the security failure. Either gross incompetence or deliberate. Question is which of those is worse?
Too much is pointing to deliberate.
The kid was a math guy and liked chess, and was obviously nuts, who knows how many games and mis directions he played on this journey to make a suicidal national murder.
In the mini-series "The Stand", Corwin Nemic played a guy named Harold Lauder (left)
Looks just like a younger Thomas Crooks (right).
And besides quite similar looks, in "The Stand" Harold Lauder was a punk that was seduced to turn evil and tried to become a mass murderer, and then himself is killed by evil when he was no longer useful.
(I made an composite image of Thomas and Harold, but there is some kind of error on my server that I can't figure out yet, Sorry)
I was thinking he would not be the first child that stabbed his dad in the back and turned into a leftist.
……sigh😞
and what 20 yr old has NO social media footprint..never used twitter, never used facebook, no instagram, no tiktok..really..Im supposed to believe that
Thomas Matthew Crooks was not the shooter.
The total lack of emotion in his life and in his actions on Saturday, as portrayed, gives me the feeling that he was acting like a robot.
They’re looking for any signs of radicalization etc but either they are removing what was there (like they removed his social media which they acknowledge existed) and creating a totally different person, or the kid was a blank slate and robotic.
If he was robotic as they present him to be - so normal, nice, well-adjusted, and no contacts or points for radicalization - it suggests mind control, to me. He didn’t have anger, didn’t have opinions, didn’t have motives. Yet he mechanically did it. The weirdness of it should raise eyebrows.
What bomb making materials?
Ugh
I saw an article today where it was acknowledged that he DID have social media accounts. And he had a Discord account too, for sure.
But we’re not allowed to see any of it.
The guy was an unhinged a$$hole.
Who cares if he had Trump signs, the guy was deranged and trying to flip his middle finger at the world
Yeah, I saw that video yesterday and again today. I don’t consider it in my analysis, because there is no proof yet that it is Thomas Crooks.
Was not true.
MAGA hat wearing Nigerians in MAGA country Chicago agree
You are claiming he had explosives and bombs, I’m not the one making that claim. It is your assertion to prove.
You all didn't say a word when your state held out for 100 hours -- 100 freaking hours -- to secure the steal for Biden. And now one of your tried to assassinate President Trump. Everyone in PA should be forced to wear a fake mustache when they leave the state, because they are dumb enough to believe no one will identify them as Keystone IQLite and yet meanwhile....
DailyMail is already pimping clickbait about Crooks' dad and his sister, and that is exactly when you know we are at the precipice of diminishing returns about this news cycle. So, SHUT IT.
