As we mull the shooting of Donald Trump and its aftermath, let’s consider, “What if?” What if the Secret Service had shot Thomas Matthew Crooks as he crawled across the roof, before he opened fire on the once and possibly future president?
Crooks would have been a hero (and martyr) of the right wing. Headlines in right-leaning media would have screamed, “Young Trump Supporter Shot Dead by Feds Outside Rally.”

Who are these retarded morons?!
Sac Bee = Sack of $hit
What?
Ugh, what a fantasist.
If that had happened, the left would be relentless in their claims that Donald Trump set the whole thing up beforehand to boost his campaign.
If I’m not mistaken, the Secret Dervice did not shoot first.
Dion Lefler sounds like an Assistant Assassin.
Calling Capt. Obvious:
There are many on the left who live for this crap, including a media bobblehead whose name is an oxymoron.
Among them: The 76% who wished Crooks succeeded.
Sacramento Bee trying and failing at the sarcasm of the Babylon Bee.
Loons, the loons.
I understand the author’s confusion and even that point of view.
She/he/it thinks no one actually watches or attends Trump’s rallies. So given a headline that a Trump supporter had been shot by the Secret Service while listening to Trump (and there being no witnesses to the event) she/he/it believes that Trump supporters would be upset.
I guess it sorta makes sense if you try to get in the head of a mentally ill person who suffers from extreme TDS and see it through that lens.
But this makes no sense.
All the Trump supporters at the rally knew what Crooks was doing, the whole time he was on the roof.
Sick.
What an insane article. I can hardly imagine even their left-wing readers wouldn’t think this was just satire. No one on the right would be upset that someone was taken out with a gun perched on top of a roof pointed towards a presidential candidate/former president. There’s really nothing the left won’t make up.
And of course there is zero indication that the shooter was “Trump supporter,” and of course his only political contribution was to a Democrat voter outreach group.
The Secret Service did not need to “shoot first”... They could have just told President Trump that there was some whack job with a gun on the roof and to not take the stage!
Surprisingly, Dion is a middle-aged, white male.
Is this “journalist” really that stupid?
A martyr for the right??? What’s Lefler smoking, because it is WAY too strong.
