Trump shooter Thomas Crooks was not a member of rifle team, wasn’t bullied despite previous reports, school claims
NY Post ^ | 7/20/24 | Olivia Land

Failed Donald Trump assassin Thomas Matthew Crooks’ high school further deepened the mystery surrounding the disturbed shooter’s teen years Saturday when officials denied allegations that he tried out for its rifle team, was bullied and threatened to shoot up the school years before carrying out his sinister plot.

Bethel Park High School “has no record” of Crooks, 20, trying out for the school’s rifle team, it said in an updated statement Saturday.

“The coach does not recall meeting him. However, it is possible that Crooks informally attended a practice, took a shot, and never returned,” the statement read.

But we know none of that.

You are making conclusions with any facts. You can’t base your arguments on “they said” without any proof of who said it and when.

Rob Bootay, a lawyer for the club, confirmed in a statement that the younger Crooks was a member.

How many crank "bootay" calls do you think he gets each week?

It’s apparently an English surname, historically spelled several different ways.

“And there was no second shooter.”

You need to get the audio clips and put together a coherent explanation of the events on same.

I am no more an audio expert than you. The difference is that I understand that and you don’t.

Thanks. Wondered if THAT was true. It was in a particularly vile pos video on Fink at Blackrock with a professionally dolled up clickbait posting still for the video showing Fink, CEO of Blackrock holding a lookalike rifle and walking with a completely faked up AI “person” that is made to look like Crooks on the day of the event. Piss poor and rabidly anti-jew in the title. Completely reliable of course. Next they’ll be saying it’s Mossad that trained him. More crap.

Wrong.

YOU need to review the audio tracks before you conclude anything.

Have you even looked at the waveforms?

And you know those are accurate how?

You guys see evidence that fits your narrative and you just assume it’s accurate and correct. You have no idea where that came from. You have no idea what the waveforms mean.

You want to believe there is more here because you want to believe in conspiracies. I don’t.

You have clearly not looked at any data.

There are issues of veracity with any data set.

However no one has yet to question the provenance of at least a couple of audio tracks taken from video files captured at the time.

No one has screwed with the extracted audio files.

Simple analysis has shown there were more shooters than Crooks and the counter snipers who took Crooks out.

You have counter analysis of objective data from that time?

Please produce same.

“You have no idea what the waveforms mean.”

Simple Physics.

Demented you are.

Go howl at the moon.

There is no need for name calling. I understand you are an angry person. I am not. Nor am I inclined to believe absurd conspiracy theories before there is an ounce of real evidence.

Enjoy the nice afternoon. Biden is out…so its a nice afternoon.

it couldn’t possibly be sheer incompetence and irresponsibility.

So, you think the Secret Service knew about the shooter for 57 minutes, let Trump take the stage and didn't evacuate him and that is explain by incompetence?

You think that the excuse Cheatle used that it was a hot day was a valid one for leaving the roof the building Crooks climbed up unsecured?

You think incompetence explains why Crooks was about to scout the premises with a drone>?

You don't think it possible a regime that would try to imprison Trump might not also resort to trying to kill him?

A lot of things are possible. That doesn’t mean they’ve happened.

Anyone ruling out the possibility after everything the Biden regime and Deep State had done to Trump for the past eight years is the one that is the one whose beliefs, at best, are naïve and, at worst, are suspicious.

The attempt to imprison Trump alone is something that only Banana Republics and communist nations would do.

So, it isn't the least bit of a stretch to think that both would allow an assassin to take a shot at him.

So a Secret Service that did this, you're sure wouldn't allow an assassin to take a shot at Trump?

The Secret Service erased text messages from both Jan. 6 and the day before the attack on the Capitol after the Department of Homeland Security’s internal watchdog requested records of electronic communications tied to the insurrection, according to a letter sent to congressional committees that was obtained by NBC News.

The details about the erased messages were revealed in a letter to two congressional committees Wednesday, in which Homeland Security Inspector General Joseph Cuffari said he was informed that many of the messages from Jan. 5 and Jan. 6, 2021, had been erased “as part of a device-replacement program.”

I haven’t ruled out any possibilities. But I expect proof of allegations before I give them serious consideration.

Proof? How are we going to get the proof if this is occurring?

The proceedings reeked of massive coverup as the FBI continued to stonewall all inquiries, denying FOIA requests, with Secret Service head Cheatle perjuring herself in front of Congress by refusing to answer key questions, including: how many shell casings were recovered on the roof by the shooter’s body? She said she knows, but can’t say—how convenient, as it would immediately determine the presence of a second shooter, given that we have expert audio analysis of each fired shot. Alternately, it could simply point to incompetence—deliberate or not—as it would confirm the vast amount of shots the shooter was ‘allowed’ to fire off before a response.

This included the unprecedented CrowdStrike global ‘system failure’, which was clearly no ‘coincidence’. Most likely, the event was used to wipe FBI servers of complicity in the Trump hit, particularly since CrowdStrike has powerful links to the FBI—the company’s Chief Security Officer and President of Services is retired FBI Executive Assistant Director Shawn Henry.

We saw President Trump and J.D. Vance interviewed about this yesterday.

President Trump seems to believe that there was one shooter, Crooks, but that there was serious incompetence and failure on the part of his security. At the same time, he expressed great respect and gratitude for the rank-and-file of the Secret Service and the FBI, and especially for those who rushed the stage when he was shot.

I will take my lead from President Trump. I am sure he knows much more about what happened to him that the anonymous Joes and perennial conspiracy theorists here know.
