[T]he 20-year-old gunman once mocked him over his support of former President Donald Trump and had a general disdain for mainstream politicians across the political aisle. brought up the fact that I'm Hispanic and, you know, I'm for Trump. And he said, 'Well, you're Hispanic, so shouldn't you hate Trump?'" Vincent Taormina told Fox News Digital Tuesday. "No. He's great. He was a great president. He called me stupid – or insinuated that I was stupid."

It is starting to make sense why the parents reported to the police that their son was absent from their home for such a short time - only an hour or two. They seemed to sense that something bad was about to happen. Trump was in town and . . .

I am more interested in who put him up to this and supported his efforts. I do not buy that he was acting alone.

CNN said yesterday that Crooks told his job that he would not be coming in on Saturday, that he had something “Very important to do” and that he would be back on Sunday..so this schmuck actually believed that he would be leaving that rally alive..that was his mindset

I guess it depends on how much the kids like the teacher.


Many of them loathed the teacher. She was at the school only one year. I never could figure out why they didn’t like her and she couldn’t either.

This is why it’s so hard for me to break loose and get some normal stuff done here at home. The shifting stories, contradictions, and white-washing that is so visible right now will eventually be buried as Google figures out which pages to remove from the web, etc.

Eventually there will be a narrative set and everybody will go with it, and all this other stuff will go down the memory hole. Unless somebody preserves it. And old FR pages are FANTASTIC for documenting things that Google doesn’t want anybody to see - especially if actual images are posted here and not just links that eventually go dead.

And with that, I just talked myself into donating to the Freepathon.

In the past I tried to get my posts removed from FR and JimRob refused. I was angry then but I’m glad that JimRob held his ground because the history and documentation needs to be preserved. I have used old FR pages so many times, to document what the left would prefer to bury.

I’m sorry, JimRob. Thank you for holding steadfast.

I don’t think the parents are being truthful.

That club is going to need a bigger room.

It happened during a discussion in an English class during the 2016 campaign

8 years ago? Crooks would've been only 12 years old.

But, he'd already formed an opinion.

and why don’t we know when he called his parents and when they called the police.

"I don’t think the parents are being truthful....in many, many ways. And I think he called them just before going on the roof and told them what he was about to do. We know they have his phone...but we haven’t heard boo."

Great post. It indicates we are at the precipice of the cover-up, because these unknowns are actually known to the SS and FIB, and so rather than release the truth -- which would quickly find its way back to Dr. JekLL's DEI hen's club SS Director appointment -- it will have to wait until The First 100 Days of TrumpII, when the MSM will attempt to bury it.

That attempt will be unsuccessful btw, as Biden conceding around 11pm ET on Election Night will unleash the dam of recrimination (and recriminalization) from the Democrats as they perform an overnight putsch that will rival the neomarxists-disguised-as-McGovernicks takeover of the Democrats at their 1972 Miami Convention; Klink's Third Way botched 'transition' in 1992; and the Mau-Mau gay dictator's outright hard coup in 2008.

The difference is they will be out of power, which ensures that in the next 4 years: Schumer - gone, Pelosi - gone, Hoyer - gone, Sanders - gone, Anus King - gone, and Friend-of-Biden Miotch - GONE.

He wasn’t absent a short time, it took an hour to drive to the rally and was seen at the metal detector at 3pm with the rangefinder. So he had to have left home before 2 if he stopped for ammo and a ladder. The shooting wasn’t until 6:11 so he was clearly gone 5 or 6 hours by that time.

Are we going to find out Crook was on the FBI’s “radar”?

Yes, it would have put him on a watch list the Secret Service would have reviewed.

Or he just told them that so it wouldn’t alert them that anything was amiss. I doubt very much that he was planning to go back to work.
He was probably more interested in the “fame and glory” of taking out the left’s Enemy Number One, and suicide by Secret Service, and didn’t want anyone from work calling his house or phone that day.
