Donald Trump Injured After Assassination Attempt at Rally

[fishtails 13,842]

The shooter has been identified as Thomas Matthew Crooks

 

What's crazy is he lived in the same area that I grew up in and that a lot of my family members still live in...its scary knowing that there was someone like that living so close to us

the shooter was a registered Republican. His father is a registered Libertarian and his mother seems to be unregistered

He also appeared to be wearing a t-shirt with the logo of a right-leaning youtuber

It'll be interesting to find out what his motive was, if they're able to find that anywhere

everything about this guy has definitely been scrubbed off the internet 

 

there’s like 2 things that have been found 

[Rorman Nockwell 56,959]

I don't care for Trump at ALL but even I found the pictures of him hurt a bit upsetting (like I would if it was any other person)

The finger pointing in the media is gross. We don't know who did this or why at this point

They prob made sure to wipe everything before announcing his name publicly. I’ve only seen his voter registration, which isn’t something that can be hidden

Ya, I mean probably smart

 

also some troll posted his own photo claiming to be the shooter and now it’s went omega viral and they are having a meltdown I can’t  

[fishtails 13,842]

It seems like the news may have misidentified Thomas Matthew Crooks as the shooter because this guy is claiming he is him...idk what to believe at this point

Ya it’s honestly crazy how stuff can spiral and spread like this and just totally lose control 

 

I feel bad for the guy but also like, why pretend to be the person that tried to assassinate a former president  

 

or honestly, if this guy is actually named Thomas crooks then the news who reported it before police confirmed it then they better get sued. Cause honestly I have no clue what’s going on now

I guess he was just trolling then

[bluechemtrails 27,322]

I hope it wasn't staged so he could feel the effects of his gun policy first hand.

[Quincy 4,506]

Maybe some good can come out of this horrific event if it initiates meaningful gun control conversations.
 

Can you imagine if Trump came out even lukewarm for some modest gun control? He’d win in a landslide. I always thought from the beginning that if he played off as a moderate populist, he could have been insanely popular. Instead, he went down the far right rabbit hole and appealed to what, 30-35% of Americans?
 

I’m genuinely curious to see how he responds to this in the coming days. Does he become more unhinged? Does he shock republicans and come out for some gun control?

 

Either way, I sincerely hope that he does not encourage violence or indirectly lead to more of it.

It doesn't really matter who you support and who you don't. Trying to take someone's life just because they have a different opinions is not okay. Two months ago something similar happened in my country, when a gunman shot the prime minister at close range (our p.m. is a motherfucker, but whatever), it helped them a lot in the European Parliament elections. What a world we live in.....

[bluechemtrails 27,322]

One thing that strikes me as a bit odd is how quickly the security reacted to the assassin, in the video it looks like they had him in their sights the whole time.

Also, it looks like Trump kept looking over at them just before the shooting, as if he was just waiting for something to happen.

[Deadly Nightshade 12,946]

The photo of him raising his fist and people chanting USA after that feels so dystopian.. 

idk what’s going to ensue after this incident 

so sorry for the people that died and were injured 

[Shadowheart 3,817]

i get the feeling that it looks like it was staged but.. who would give their own life (and other innocent victim in the crowd) to enhance the chances of someone’s election winning potential

 

this whole situation is so sick, each day i wake up more and more grateful im european (god knows how trump winning the election will affect EU though..)

 

also im so sorry if im being insensitive or its out of place, but why is the shooter kinda giving Ethel Cain in this pic..

[Embach 45,086]

My first thought when I read the headlines was Ethel Cain's tweet.

 

Although after watching that video I understand why people think it's staged. 

 

But I'm scared that his cult fandom is going to milk endless conspiracy theories out of these  and worst thing is that what happened on January 6th 2021, it could happen again...
