The 20-year-old nursing-home employee from suburban Pittsburgh who tried to assassinate former President Donald Trump was a registered Republican who packed explosives in the vehicle he drove to the campaign rally an hour from his home...

Why, he was a damn right-wing crazy!

Video from 2020 purported to involve the kid. “Slash Republican throats” is said to be one of his choicer statements.

“Crooks tried out for the school’s rifle team but was turned away because he was a bad shooter, said Frederick Mach, a current captain of the team who was a few years behind Crooks at the school.”

So Im supposed to believe that a 20 yr old high school bullied “Republican” decided to try to assassinate Donald Trump..yeah cause that makes total sense that a Republican would want to murder the nominee for the Republican party..yeah that sounds about right/sarc..Republican my ass, anyone could switch party affiliation to vote in the primaries, in fact Dems told people to do it and vote for Haley so he probably forgot to register back commie

Wearing hunting gear to school is not uncommon in rural areas.
There must have been some really stuck up townies at his school.

So the rifle team info comes from a Frederick Mach, who is “a few years behind” Crook, in other words about 3 years younger than the shooter and probably never met the guy or actually saw him shoot, but is probably just passing on rumors. Frederick Mach is thus just 16 or 17 years old and possibly excited by being interviewed by a news agency. Not sure how much weight to give his words.

Jason Kohler didn’t attend any classes with the shooter, yet claims to know why the shooter was allegedly being bullied every day and it was always “hunting clothes” which may mean camo or just t-shirts with deer printed on them. There is no explanation of how he became so close with a guy that he never shared a class with.

What do we know?

20 year old nursing home workers don’t plan the NEAR PERFECT assassination.

He had the right weapon.

He had the perfect location for a kill shot.

He was able to effortlessly navigate into shooting position.

He had to know it was a suicide mission.

He could see the counter snipers had him in their sights.

He was well groomed for the job and he had a handler maybe more than one.

I’m sure his burner phone was destroyed before he got on scene.

Should have worked, but by the Grace of God Trump moved his head a bit.

such a SCAM that he was a ‘republican’ since nothing about him is republican and we know there’s a big push in dem circles to register as such to taint the primaries.

From the article: "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 AP on condition of anonymity to discuss an ongoing investigation."

So, the police ran away?

This story has four reporters working on it... that usually means it is a story designed to spread leftwing talking points rather than provide actual news.

“”””The 20-year-old man who tried to assassinate former President Donald Trump first came to law enforcement’s attention at Saturday’s rally when spectators noticed him acting strangely outside the campaign event. The tip sparked a frantic search but officers were unable to find him before he managed to get on a roof, where he opened fire.”””


The above is the opening paragraph from the AP news report you linked to.

Why is what you posted so different?
