It's still the fog of war, who knows what's what. All this about Crooks (his house is now surrounded, wtf), he doesn't seem to be the guy.
This posted on 4chan, little attribution and appears to be gone now. Looks as possible as anything, could be the same guy, I dunno --

I don't fault or criticize any of his protection detail. Likely they were very understaffed and had little time to do advance securing of the site.

The mainstream are just plain vulgar. They will continue try and twist this.
Oh and yes, memos are sent out between different agencies to spread a consistent narrative.
If I had my choice I would kill every reporter in the world, but I am sure we would be getting reports from Hell before breakfast. William Tecumseh Sherman.

One cop on the roof, one building search with a dog, one semi trailer parked between the roof and the stage, one drone in the air. They did a good job?

I think it gross incompetence of the security detail. How did they not have enough security personnel to not keep an eye on the high places -rooftops, building windows,etc. and also not notice someone on a roof with a firearm who wasn't one of them? What kind of poor communication did they have?
I hate to say we can expect more of this but the left is going off the rails, knowing their candidate is an exposed idiot and will do anything they can to allow change.

Thanks, SC, I hadn't noticed that. Clearly though, there's a lot yet to be revealed.

SS now contradicting claims addl security requests were denied…
The U.S. Secret Service denied that former President Donald Trump was refused additional requested security resources before the assassination attempt on his life Saturday.
Trump was shot in the ear, one rally attendee died, two other spectators were critically injured during rally in Butler, Pennsylvania.
A 20-year-old suspect was shot and killed by the Secret Service seconds after he allegedly fired shots toward a stage where Trump and was speaking.
"The assertion that a member of the former President's security team requested additional security resources that the U.S. Secret Service or the Department of Homeland Security rebuffed is absolutely false," Anthony Guglielmi, the service's communications chief, said in a statement. "In fact, recently the U.S. Secret Service added protective resources and capabilities to the former President's security detail.
"The former President, and the current President, are commonly subject to threats. The U.S. Secret Service takes threats seriously, and it takes actions based on those threats as warranted. The U.S. Secret Service is constantly evaluating the very dynamic threat environment and responding to it in the fulfillment of its responsibilities.
"While we can't get into specifics, the U.S. Secret Service adds additional resources for all campaign cycles including manpower and a variety of protective technology. This addition of resources happens for all election cycles and is part of our candidate nominee operations section, also known as CNOS."
What part of "...Shall not be infringed" don't you understand???

The earlobe in the picture on the right has the hole for the ear things.
I used to believe you couldn't kill evil evil dead enough? Sure is alot of rhetoric by the left to call for unity? Now doesn't seem to be the time to take the boot off of our enemies neck....
This kid did not act alone, that narrative is pure horseshit!
He was enabled by every Trump hate mongering POS who still hate him
This kid pulled the trigger, but the haters put the ammo in the gun.

They lie about everything, if they say he's the shooter, I'm wondering who it really is.

Democrat is two letters shorter than republican.
It's not photoshopped. You can look it up on the PA Dept of State website. He was a registered as a Republican. But he also donated to ActBlue on Biden's inauguration day. Will be interesting to see what the FBI can find in his house, computer, etc.

I don't know how it works in PA, but here in MO, many people - severely opposed to the other side - will register as that side to weigh in on primaries to try to disable their least-favorable opposition.
I'm not saying that's the case here, simply stating it is a possibility. How he's registered is much less important to me than his social media posts - which I'm sure will be scrubbed/hidden/deleted - much like those of the Nashville shooter.
Edited to add: MO primary elections are open - sorry for the confusion - but I have heard of people switching registration in closed primaries.

Interesting that the video of the shooter says he hates republicans and they they got the wrong guy
This would lead me to think perhaps more than one shooter. One for distraction and another for the target.
Will be interesting to see the ballistics on the shooters rifle (if it’s ever made public and can be believed )
