Of course I am talking about the man that broke the media’s back on the Biden age thingy…..the shooter at the Trump rally.

We now have a name to go with the act…..

The FBI early Sunday identified the shooter at former President Trump’s rally as Thomas Matthew Crooks, 20, of Bethel Park, Pennsylvania. Secret Service agents fatally shot Crooks, reports the AP, who attacked from an elevated position outside the rally venue at a farm show in Butler, Pennsylvania, the agency said. Law enforcement recovered an AR-style rifle at the scene. One attendee was killed and two spectators were critically injured, authorities said. All were identified as men. The attack was the most serious attempt to assassinate a president or presidential candidate since Ronald Reagan was shot in 1981. It could alter the tenor and security posture at the Republican National Convention, which will begin Monday in Milwaukee. Organizers said the convention would proceed as planned.

A 20 year ‘registered’ Republican had his sights on Trump and basically missed….but what do we know about this person?

he Secret Service has identified 20-year-old Thomas Matthew Crooks of Bethel Park, Pennsylvania, as the gunman at Saturday’s Donald Trump rally. Some details emerging about Crooks, who was shot dead by Secret Service agents while on a rooftop adjacent to the rally:

• State voting records have Crooks as a registered Republican, reports Reuters. The upcoming election would have been the first time he would have been able to vote in a presidential contest.
• However, at age 17, Crooks gave $15 to the liberal group ActBlue, which works to get out the Democratic vote, per the BBC.  (How will this be spinned by those slugs in the campaign?)
• Crooks graduated in 2022 from Bethel Park High School, per the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review. The newspaper’s coverage of the graduation notes that he received a $500 “star award” from the National Math and Science Initiative. In a commencement video, “Crooks can be seen crossing the stage to modest applause after his name is called out, a slender young man with glasses in a black graduation gown who briefly posed with a school official and accepted his diploma,” per the New York Times.
• Crooks’ father, Matthew Crooks, told CNN he was attempting to understand “what the hell was going on” and would “wait until I talk to law enforcement” before talking about his son, per the BBC.
• “We do not currently have an identified motive,” said the FBI’s Kevin Rojek.
• Law enforcement swarmed the family residence in Bethel Park in suburban Pittsburgh, reports USA Today. It’s about 40 miles from Butler, where the Trump rally took place. Crooks did not appear to have a criminal record.

Now you know as much about the person as anyone (right now)….and in case anyone is interested the man that died has a name….

Proud “girl dad” Corey Comperatore drove half an hour with his family to see Donald Trump, a man he’d admired for years, the Washington Post reports. Apart from saving his wife and daughters, it would be the last thing he’d ever do. As gunfire erupted at Trump’s rally in Pennsylvania on Saturday, the 50-year-old engineer and father of two from Sarver threw himself on his family, shielding them, and was fatally shot, according to an account given to Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro, who identified Comperatore as a victim on Sunday. He said Comperatore’s wife, Helen, told him her husband, a former fire chief, “died a hero.”

CNN Digital has put together a sort of time line of this incident as it unfolded….

The following came to my attention and please save the BS….I am NOT saying I buy this just wanted to pass it on…..

As footage of the incident circulates, skeptics have raised eyebrows over several peculiar aspects of the alleged assassination attempt. The Secret Service’s handling of the situation has come under particular scrutiny. Typically, in an active shooter scenario, agents prioritize covering the protectee’s head, neck, and torso. Yet, Trump was allowed to stand upright and even raise his fist defiantly, potentially exposing himself to further danger without paying to the very high possibility of there being more shooters.

This moment of bravado, reminiscent of Trump’s dramatic mask removal after his COVID-19 hospitalization, has fueled speculation about whether the incident was staged for political gain. The crowd’s surprisingly calm demeanor following the alleged shooting has also raised questions. In most active shooter situations, one would expect more panic and chaos, not the relatively composed reaction witnessed at the rally.

Like most any situation….someone can turn it into a conspiracy….again I am not saying that I am buying onto this situation….just wanted to let people know what is being passed off as news.

Any thoughts on the possibility?

Will history be changed by the actions of this would be assassin?
