FBI Names Thomas Matthew Crooks as Would-be Assassin
Thomas Matthew Crooks was the gunman who opened fire on Donald Trump yesterday at a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, wounding the former president and two others and killing a bystander.
The FBI named Crooks, a 20-year-old resident of Bethel Park, Pennsylvania, about an hour ago.
Biographical details about Crooks are already beginning to emerge and be reported by the mainstream media.
Crooks graduated from Bethel Park High School in 2022.

He was apparently registered to vote as a Republican, but Election Commission records show that a donor with the same name and address gave $15 to a Democrat PAC called Progressive Turnout Project in 2021.
Crooks’ father told CNN that he was still trying to understand “what the hell is going on,” and would reserve comment “until I talk to law enforcement.”
Trolls are already muddying the waters with false information, including a Twitter user called @jewgazing, who has posted a video claiming to be Thomas Matthew Crooks. Photos of the user are now being circulated on social media as real photographs of the would-be assassin.

Popular Liberal Streamer Destiny Posts Sick Joke about Trump Assassination
Popular liberal streamer Destiny, real name Steven Bonnell, posted a sick joke on social media in the aftermath of Saturday’s attempt on Donald Trump’s life.
“If we learned anything today, I hope it’s realizing the importance of principles I’ve stressed many times on stream before: having a firearm means absolutely nothing if you don’t spend time at the range practicing with it,” Bonnell posted on Twitter.

— Destiny (@TheOmniLiberal) July 14, 2024
At time of writing, the Tweet had received over a million views and thousands of likes, retweets and comments.
Almost all of the responses were negative, with users mocking Destiny for his skinnyfat body and his well-publicised cuckold relationship with his now ex-wife.
“Yeah, unlike everyone who shot their shot with your wife while y’all were married, the assassin missed… tough times bro,” responded one user.
Other users noted that the Tweet reveals a more sinister truth about many so-called liberals: that despite proclaiming themselves paragons of virtue—of peace, tolerance and understanding—they in fact revel in the thought of murdering their enemies, whether that’s Donald Trump himself or simply their Trump-supporting neighbors.
“These people want to kill you. Whether you want to be involved with politics or not, you are. I don’t have a punchline or pithy comment. Just know and understand this,” was one such Tweet.
Users are suggesting Destiny’s tweet is an actionable statement encouraging political violence and should be reported not only to Twitter authorities but also to law enforcement.
Bonnell was a carpet cleaner before he became a full-time videogame streamer in 2011. In 2016, he began streaming political debates with other online figures. He has described himself as a “very big social democrat.”

Questions Swirl About Security Failures Leading To Trump Shooting
In the aftermath of Saturday’s attempted assassination of presidential frontrunner Donald Trump, videos and eyewitnesses led many people to question how the shooter was able to get past security.
Footage of snipers guarding Trump during the incident had popular conservative comedians the Hodge Twins asking, “Why didn’t they shoot him first?”

Question is, why didn’t they shoot him first?????

An eyewitness shockingly told BBC News he saw the shooter carrying a long rifle and climbing onto the top of a building about four hundred yards away from Trump’s stage.
“We noticed the guy bear-crawling up the roof of the building beside us. We’re pointing at the guy crawling up the roof. He had a rifle. The police are down there running around on the ground and we’re like, ‘Hey, there’s a guy on the roof with a rifle.’”
The witness said he tried to get the attention of nearby police officers and started wondering, “Why is Trump still speaking? Why haven’t they pulled him off stage.”
According to the man, the shooter was on the roof for “three to four minutes” before firing five shots.
The guy asked why there wasn’t Secret Service protection “on all of the roofs” near the speaking stage.

To those saying the election is over and Trump will win by a landslide, you’re being naive.

Here are my concerns:
1. He must first stay ALIVE in order to win
2. There’s a potential leak in Secret Service and protection of the president.
Too many blind spots. There needs to…

Former Secret Service agent Dan Bongino claimed the director of U.S. Secret Service has “repeatedly turned down requests for a larger security footprint around President Trump.”
I want to repeat, and can absolutely confirm, the USSS Director Kim Cheatle has repeatedly turned down requests for a larger security footprint around President Trump. Despite knowing the threat level is catastrophic.

Resign tonight. https://t.co/v3UQyTt1dK
Others criticized the security failure as well:
This is one of the biggest security failures I have ever seen.

– Shooter on an unsecured rooftop just 400ft away from Trump with a clear line of sight.
– Bystander sees shooter crawling on roof with rifle minutes before and tries to warn law enforcement.
How could this happen?
— PeterSweden (@PeterSweden7) July 14, 2024
The shooter was able to get to an unsecured rooftop.
People alerted police to a suspicious man with a rifle on the roof.
Trump reacted faster to the shooting than his security.

Read Donald Trump’s First Message After Being Shot By Would-Be Assassin
Donald Trump issued a message via Truth Social on Saturday addressing the historic assassination attempt against him during a Pennsylvania campaign rally.
“I want to thank The United States Secret Service, and all of Law Enforcement, for their rapid response on the shooting that just took place in Butler, Pennsylvania. Most importantly, I want to extend my condolences to the family of the person at the Rally who was killed, and also to the family of another person that was badly injured,” he wrote.
Trump continued, “It is incredible that such an act can take place in our Country. Nothing is known at this time about the shooter, who is now dead. I was shot with a bullet that pierced the upper part of my right ear. I knew immediately that something was wrong in that I heard a whizzing sound, shots, and immediately felt the bullet ripping through the skin. Much bleeding took place, so I realized then what was happening. GOD BLESS AMERICA!”
