[He was so smart even the spectators had his number crawling along llke a rat and he would have been shot dead if competent security had been in charge]


Without shouldering his rifle, which was in a bag. That’s key. Can’t shoot an unarmed civilian. He probed for a gap, limited his actions to what wouldn’t draw fire, then used the minute or so he had after shouldering the rifle to get four hits within feet of Trump under threat of imminent death. Could you do better?

And, let’s face it - if you choose to take a long range shot at Biden, you can be Einstein, and still be unable to do it without a rifle. He chose a long arm instead of the approach taken by Sirhan Sirhan or John Hinckley. One reason so many choose to get up close and personal is possibly because win or lose, the odds of personal survival are better. The Secret Service is a lot more cautious about peppering the crowd around the President with gunfire than they are about blowing away a lone sniper from a distance.

He was so smart he did this when he was 15 years old

“ EXCLUSIVETrump shooter Thomas Crooks threatened to ‘shoot up’ his high school and ‘put bombs in the bathrooms’ years before his failed assassination attempt on the former president”

“ Crooks, 20, has emerged from his beginnings as a ‘normal’ little boy to the young man who grew up to be an increasingly troubled loner whose internet search history included ‘major depressive disorder’ and who some suspected was bi-polar or schizophrenic.”

He was a freakin nutball

You need to change your false narrative
