Donald Trump Rally Shootings - Two Dead Trump Injured

[BFew]

These are some of the biggest false claims to emerge from Trump's attempted assassination

Falsehoods about former US president Donald Trump's attempted assassination are spreading online faster than journalists can assemble an accurate account of what we know. ABC News Verify has assembled the key claims, and how they have gained traction.

Most of the media only ever referred to the deceased victim (RIP Corey Comperatore) at the Trump Rally Shooting as either a voluntary firefighter, firefighter, or ex fire chief.

As soon as his name was announced, it took me a few minutes to find his actual profession on his LinkedIn, which had and still has no mention of his volunteer firefighting or his army reservist experience.

Almost a bit like referring to Tony Abbott as an ex-firefighter (and not mentioning he was PM of Australia).

'Corey was a proud graduate of Freeport High School, class of 1992, and went on to honor his country as a dedicated 10-year veteran of the US Army Reserves. His commitment to excellence continued in his professional life where he excelled as a project and tooling engineer at JSP [29 years at JSP]. Corey's passion for his community shone brightly through his active membership at the Cabot Church and his lifelong service at the Buffalo Volunteer Fire Department, where he notably served as chief in the early 2000s.'

Why would the deep state want to assassinate Donald Trump?

Maybe worried he will end the war in Ukraine, cant control him, a lot worried they will loose their job once he wins.

 

[BFew]

The CIA have planted plenty of people and had many more taken out due to their scheming and manipulations.

To dismiss it out of hand as not being plausible is how they are never held accountable.

As I pointed out, it's on record a high ranking FBI official was caught saying...

“[Trump’s] not ever going to become president, right?” asked a top F.B.I. lawyer, Lisa Page, in one text. “Right?!”

Peter Strzok, the agent overseeing the F.B.I.’s investigation into links between Mr. Trump’s campaign and Russia, answered, “No. No he won’t. We’ll stop it.”

That shows us regular people that this is how these secretive organisations can be speaking when they think nobody is listening.

Evidence of this exchange below.
Hint: that there are lots of other ways to try stop someone doing something other than killing them.

'FBI agent’s text disclosed by Justice watchdog: ‘We’ll stop’ Trump from becoming president'
...

• An FBI agent who worked on the special counsel’s Russia probe texted another investigator that ‘We’ll stop’ Donald Trump from getting elected president.
• Previous texts exchanged by Peter Strzok and Lisa Page had already landed the pair in hot water.
• The newly revealed messages appear to be the most explicit texts so far made public.

Maybe worried he will end the war in Ukraine

Probably millions of POI that would like to see Trump never become President so that he would not become President and implement his much feared Ukraine Policy of ending US military support for Ukraine and leaving Ukraine for the Russians to takeover. Which could result in a wider war between Russia and Europe if NATO countries ramp up their support as a result of the US pulling their material support.

For many Ukrainians/Europeans and their family and loved ones around the world, this is perceived as a matter of life and death or cultural/existential crisis.

And they were shown to lie to the FISA courts to get warrants to allow them to spy on people for political gains.

'Trump shooter Thomas Matthew Crooks hid on roof for 26 minutes before firing'​

'...
According to the report, a member of the Beaver County emergency services unit noticed a figure on the roof of the building around 5.45pm local time.

The officer was said to have taken a picture of the person on the building and reported it, but no action was taken.
...
A counter-sniper team was actually inside the building Crooks shot from, the New York Post has reported, quoting unnamed law enforcement sources.

The building was used as a “watch post”, the sources told the Post, but authorities were not on the roof.

It is unknown how Crooks accessed the roof - whether it was from an internal or external stairway.

Meanwhile more detail about Crooks is coming from a bombshell CNN report.

On the morning of the shooting, Crooks bought 50 rounds of ammunition and a short ladder from a Home Depot store
...
On the day before the shooting, the Friday, Crooks practiced his shooting at the Clairton Sportsmen’s Club where he was a member
...
the shooter was carrying a transmitter linked to an improvised explosive device hidden in the trunk of his Hyundai Sonata.
...
the FBI said they had gained access to Crooks’ mobile phone, and had completed their search of his home and vehicle. Almost 100 interviews had been conducted so far and the work was continuing
...
CNN reported that both parents are social workers
...
A highly-trained but now retired NSW Police marksman, who prefers to go by his nickname Fingers, said ...
... While a ballistics report has not yet been prepared, Fingers said it was possible Trump’s ear injury was caused by a ricocheting fragment rather than an actual bullet.

Reported by who?
Some nobody on Twitter?

Actually it's reportedly someone else and not Crooks.
How come the quality of the vid you chose to show was so bad that all you can see is the long hair?
Took me all of about 20 seconds to search on X/Twitter for a better quality version dated 2020 and clearly showing that it was not Crooks.
Watch the below and (dated 2020) and tell me if it is Crooks.
Then explain in here why you posted the vid without doing your research?

Hey, def looks like him, posted as being him and had the same name in the tik tok video. Not to mention what he is yelling. Its been community noted now which is the great thing about X.

Maybe worried he will end the war in Ukraine, cant control him, a lot worried they will loose their job once he wins.

Not sure members of the 'Deep State' need to worry about being unemployed.

Would be easier and far less risky to pay him not to run if that was such an existential concern for the 'Deep State'.

Some more facts from US ABC news.

New details emerge in Trump assassination attempt investigation

The attempted assassination was being investigated as a potential act of domestic terrorism, the FBI said in a statement late Sunday.

abcnews.go.com

'...
"Over the last several months, Crooks received several packages, including some marked as possibly containing hazardous material, according to a review of his shipping history,"'
...
... on the day of the shooting, Crooks told his father he wanted to go to a shooting range and asked if he could borrow his dad's AR15-style rifle, said a source familiar with the matter. Since the father had occasionally allowed Crooks to go target shooting with the semiautomatic firearm, he didn't think anything was suspicious when he let him use the rifle again on Saturday ... Crooks recently purchased ammunition online, as well as in-person.

Very mysterious.
A real discrete lone wolf.
Although an introvert personality and few friends would explain alot.

Maybe had more than one phone?
Lets see what the analysis of his other devices they have reveal.

'Mystery Around Trump Shooter Deepens​

FBI analyzed Thomas Matthew Crooks’s phone and found nothing to explain why he tried to assassinate former president​

Updated July 15, 2024 7:09 pm ET

The FBI has analyzed Crooks’s cellphone and has found nothing that explains why he climbed onto a roof and shot at former President Trump, grazing his ear, law-enforcement officials said. Crooks’s parents have spoken to law enforcement, but they also seemed to have little insight, telling authorities he didn’t appear to have any strong political leanings and had few, if any, friends.'
...
The AR-15 rifle Crooks used was one of more than a dozen registered to and legally purchased by his father, with whom he often went to the shooting range, law-enforcement officials said.

In Crooks’s sedan parked near the rally, authorities found two explosives and a ballistic carrier, or vest, with three, 30-round magazines in it, the officials said, an indication that he might have wanted to cause greater carnage. He had also hidden another bomb in his bedroom in his family’s home. The discoveries suggest Crooks had a plan, but early indications are that he kept it to himself.
...
Crooks appears to have acted alone, investigators said, and they were turning to his computer and other devices in hopes of finding any clues about his ideology.
...
For a young man who had just finished his teenage years, Crooks left a surprisingly limited record online. Three cyberintelligence analysts asked by The Wall Street Journal to search for Crooks’s online footprint found little. A chess profile, an account for online coding classes and a few gaming accounts were some of the only leads they could uncover. None discovered public social-media postings, photos, or obvious ties to peer groups or organizations.

The shooter’s parents, Matthew and Mary Crooks, have been licensed professional counselors for over two decades with no noted disciplinary actions, according to licensing information maintained by the Pennsylvania Department of State.

A counter-sniper team was actually inside the building Crooks shot from, the New York Post has reported, quoting unnamed law enforcement sources.

The building was used as a “watch post”, the sources told the Post, but authorities were not on the roof.

Imagine if some rogue(s) LE inside that watch post decided to idiotically & deliberately give Crooks some time to try and kill Trump, and in doing so have now consigned the US to decades of non-Democrat rule, and the gutting (and maybe rebranding) of what is now known as the "Secret Service", when Trump likely becomes the next US President.

I think we can all agree the Head of the secret service has to resign

Its amazing when you watch the slow motion of when Trump gets hit. I think the shot was pretty much dead on when the shooter pulled the trigger as shown in the top skull pic and link below. But at the same time, Trump looked a little bit more to the right at the bigscreen and that saved his life. Extremely fortunate timing for him.

View attachment 2049807

This video shows the timing of it -

But what if it was only a bullet fragment that hit Trumps ear, and the closest actual bullet was more than a few inches away?

The ballistic forensics from the bullet holes in the stadium should eventually clear this up.

Particularly the bullet or bullet fragment that killed Corey Comperatore (RIP ).
For if it was a clean shot, and showed (the bullet or Comperatore) no signs of having blood from Trumps ear on it.

Maybe this is just a case of a young person who always felt invisible wanting the world to remember their name.

What he did was effectively a case of self-harm.
Or he was delusional in thinking he would get out alive?

Maybe he thought he would never get as far as he did, and just be arrested and incarcerated for a few decades.

Any rational thinking from someone like that who wanted to see Trump dead, should know that the chances of actually getting close enough to take a shot at Trump were very slim.

Knowing the effect of what he was planning to do would likely have on his family, suggests he did not care much about any of his family members, and raises the issue of whether he did it to hurt his family.

I suspect an undiagnosed mental health episode will be the hindsight diagnosis.

On the face of it, you'd have to be temporarily crazy to attempt what Crooks attempted/did.

I'd say his goal wasn't to get out alive by the end of it all.

The fact they are reporting his had explosive devices in his car suggests his intention was to blow something up at some stage.

You could be right in that he might not have thought he'd get as far as he did and the explosives were plan B.

Maybe if he doesn't get on the roof he instead drives a car containing explosives into the crowd and detonates.

There was someone else interviewed, might have been the same guy, who said he was a bad shot and didn't make the 'shooting team' or some such. Didn't seem too bad a shot, nearly got Trump (assuming he was aiming at him)

That doesnt make you try and kill the next president though. That would make you hunt down the bullies or go to the school like most of their shooters.

Obviously an angry man and anti Trumper. We may never find out why he hated Trump, since he has virtually no online presence and the FBI are now saying, nothing to see here on his phone. Perhaps the all the msm retoric sunk in, like Bidens comment about putting Trump in the bullseye.
