Is he a hero? A patriot? Just like the morons on January 6th. He was simply exercising his Second Amendment right  that Trump has talked about as a political remedy in the past.  HE WAS A REGISTERED REPUBLICAN 

Are the MAGA MORONS disappointed this violence didn’t happen at the hands of an illegal immigrant? After all it’s the illegals that are causing crime to be out of control, right?

It's a conspiracy, Trump people set it up so he can play the victim and to help him win the election.

Deep state, fake news, enemy of the people, blah blah blah.

Congratulations, you read up to the third sentence of an article until you found something that satisfies your confirmation bias. The fourth sentence? Nah, you don’t need to read that… what other information could possibly be of importance?

That was sarcasm by the way, in case you couldn’t tell.

From the same article you posted:

FEC contribution records also show a single $15 ActBlue contribution earmarked to Progressive Turnout Project, a liberal voter turnout group.
This CNN article gives us the month of this donation: January 2021.

So this dude donated to ActBlue on 2021, registered Republican sometime in between his 18th birthday and the present, and shot at Trump yesterday.

So either Thomas Matthew Crooks has the politics of a metronome, or he’s just a progressive Dem who registered Republican.

Which makes sense when you consider:
1. Pennsylvania has closed primary voting.
2. Crooks is from the Pittsburgh metro area and a county that is a strong Democratic stronghold.
3. His home-rule municipality, Bethel Park, barely voted Trump in 2020.

Look at the politicians of Allegheny County:

County Executive:

Sara Innamorato (D)

County Council:

Bethany Hallam (D), At-large
Samuel DeMarco III (R), At-large
Jack Betkowski (D), District 1
Suzanne Filiaggi (R), District 2
Anita Prizio (D), District 3
Patrick Catena (D), President, District 4
Dan Grzybek (D), District 5
John F. Palmiere (D), Vice President, District 6
Nicholas Futules (D), District 7
Michelle Naccarati-Chapkis (D), District 8
Robert J. Macey (D), District 9
DeWitt Walton (D), District 10,
Paul Klein (D), District 11
Robert Palmosina (D), District 12
David Bonaroti (D), District 13

Other elected county offices:

Controller, Corey O’Connor (D)
District Attorney, Stephen A. Zappala, Jr. (Forward Party)
Sheriff, Kevin M. Kraus (D)
Treasurer, Erica Rocchi Brusselars (D)

State representatives:

Aerion Abney, Democratic, 19th district
Emily Kinkead, Democratic, 20th district
Lindsay Powell, Democratic, 21st district
Dan Frankel, Democratic, 23rd district
La'Tasha Mayes, Democratic, 24th district
Brandon Markosek, Democratic, 25th district
Daniel J. Deasy, Democratic, 27th district
Rob Mercuri, Republican, 28th district
Arvind Venkat, Democratic, 30th district
Joe McAndrew, Democratic, 32nd district
Mandy Steele, Democratic, 33rd district
Abigail Salisbury, Democratic, 34th district
Matt Gergely, Democratic, 35th district
Jessica Benham, Democratic, 36th district
Nick Pisciottano, Democratic, 38th district
Andrew Kuzma, Republican, 39th district
Natalie Mihalek, Republican, 40th district
Dan L. Miller, Democratic, 42nd district
Valerie Gaydos, Republican, 44th district
Anita Astorino Kulik, Democratic, 45th district
Jason Ortitay, Republican, 46th district

State senators:

Devlin Robinson, Republican, 37th district
Lindsey Williams, Democrat, 38th district
Wayne D. Fontana, Democrat, 42nd district
Jay Costa, Democrat, 43rd district
James Brewster, Democrat, 45th district

U.S. representatives:

Chris Deluzio, Democrat, 17th district
Summer Lee, Democrat, 12th district

U.S. senators:

John Fetterman, Democrat
Bob Casey Jr., Democrat

He has a reason to register Democrat if he wants a say in their primaries, but given that the party is a virtual lock for almost everything in his area, he doesn’t really need to. However, he did have a good reason to register Republican around 2022, according to this AP News Article:

And in some cases, Democrats have been too focused on their own competitive primaries to cast a Republican ballot. That was probably the case in Pennsylvania, where some Democrats openly encouraged their base to vote for the Republican candidate for governor, Doug Mastriano, whose extreme views they felt made him more beatable in November.

To cast a ballot in the May 17 GOP primary, however, voters needed to register as Republicans ahead of the contest because Pennsylvania has a “closed primary” system. And on the same day, Democrats were deciding their own high-stakes Senate primary.

If the advance vote in Pennsylvania is any indication, few Democrats heeded the call to vote GOP.
To be fair, few Pennsylvanian Democrats voted Republican, as the article states. However, some still did, and if anyone’s gonna do that, it’s probably the guy who voted $15 to ActBlue and hated Trump enough to shoot at him.

Or he just has politics that swing like a pendulum, and somehow he loved Trump just before changing his mind and shooting at him. That would fit with your “jilted Trump lover” hypothesis.

The above paragraph was sarcasm. Apparently, I have to tell you when I’m being sarcastic now.

Copium is a powerful drug.

Oh ya, all progressive democrats register as Republicans. I did it myself.

(that was sarcasm genius)

But aren’t you disappointed the shooter wasn’t an illegal? I mean, a white American shot a Trump. How could this happen?

Only a loser would use that term, let alone twice.

Or because he donated $15 to ActBlue in 2021, was encouraged by Pennsylvania Democrats to vote in Republican primaries in 2022, and shot at Donald Trump yesterday.

He’s a patriot exercising his Second Amendment remedies that Trump himself has promoted in the past.

But I’m sticking with my first answer, you’re a MAGA MORON

If the government actually went "tyrannical" (which the pro 2A people need to define how that would be possible), then if Trump does the tyranny, then MAGA world wouldn't deem it tyrannical.

Even when it's left wing policies they deemed as tyranny (lockdowns during COVID), they won't go out of their way to rebel against the government with guns.

2A advocates who argue the 2nd amendment is about defending against tyranny are all bark and no bite; so while I support the right to own AR 15s, I believe they are useless in defending against tyranny because the US population is unwilling to do a revolution if the government ever goes tyrannical.  The right argued, "Social media is the new public square; there should be free speech absolutism on there"; Big Tech censored their accounts over conservative content; the right never did a mass shooting at Facebook headquarters.

They don't have the guts to do a revolution, and there is nothing wrong with that if you are upfront with it (if the 1st and 2nd amendment got repealed tomorrow, then I wouldn't deem it tyrannical enough to murder people over it although I would hate the decision).  But MAGA world isn't upfront with it.  You think Biden is a tyrant?  Then overthrow his government!  But you won't do that because you don't have the guts to, making your 2nd amendment irrelevant.

I believe you are right, but MAGA world won't deem he was defending against tyranny because Trump could advocate for lynching black people and MAGA world would eat it up.  If Ann Coulter said the same thing, then she gets canceled as racist.

Trump is their god.  They won't leave him no matter what.

Nobody hates just Trump's ear.  Either you hate all of Trump's body or you don't hate any of Trump's body.

But what if Trump had 100 assassination attempters at the same time?  If anyone has 100 bullets hitting them at once, then they aren't surviving.

Maybe there needs to be a group of assassins that target Trump.  I'm not volunteering, but I hope others do.

AP News is posting conspiracy theories now?

Don’t look at me. You were the one concluded the guy was a “jilted Trump lover” with no evidence yesterday.

Most normal people would assume he’s a lunatic on the fringes of the left. Apparently that’s not reasonable to you, since that idea would make your side of the left look bad.

He’s a patriot exercising his Second Amendment remedies that Trump himself has promoted in the past.
Gee, I love it when the 2A gives me the right to gun down a former president on the campaign trail!

But I’m sticking with my first answer, you’re a MAGA MORON
Despite all evidence. LOL.

Crooks received a $500 "star award" from the National Math and Science Initiative, according to the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review newspaper.
Well this guy was smart and a good student so that does make it less likely he’s a Republican, I’ll give you that.

Most normal people would assume he’s a lunatic on the fringes of the left.
The MAGA MORONS would. He’s likely a very patriotic American who was concerned about a wanna be dictator coming to power with the help of the country’s dumbest citizens 

Gee, I love it when the 2A gives me the right to gun down a former president on the campaign trail!
A former President who was impeached twice, told a BIG LIE and tried to subvert the election in 2020. The purpose of the Second Amendment according to MAGA MORONS is to stop tyranny. Trump is a tyrant in waiting.

That’s a funny way of saying “You were right and I’m butthurt about it.”

Go ahead. Try and follow in his footsteps. I dare you. It won’t end well for you, but if you really think that way, whatever. I wouldn’t genuinely recommend it, though.

*To stop tyranny, where all peaceable means have been exhausted. Our country still has a free and fair election coming in November, and we still have the rule of law intact. Our government is not oppressing our free speech, nor are they raiding our towns for our guns.

Actually that was sarcasm but you’re not bright enough to pick up on it. But you agree that a smart person can’t be a Republican.

He obviously contributed to Act Blue as a false flag so people would think he was a Democrat and blame the left. He’s a cunning Republican Never Trumper.

How many years has it been since January 6th? Still no accountability. The system is rigged. 2A is the only way to stop Trump and the MAGA MORONS.
Republicans have said the elections are rigged so we can’t rely on that process anymore.

What??? IWRA being sarcastic??? No way!!! I could never have known! He only used sarcasm several times yesterday and today, how could I possibly know he’d be doing it again?


Obvious sarcasm on my part aside (because I have to tell you since you’re the one who has actually missed sarcasm), my point stands. We are barely talking about Crooks now because you know the evidence favors what I’ve said. You’re just butthurt.

Also, it’s funny how you keep trying to one-up me in the sarcasm department after I pantsed you in front of the site yesterday.

He obviously contributed to Act Blue as a false flag so people would think he was a Democrat and blame the left. He’s a cunning Republican Never Trumper.
Yes clearly. A man like you would never say a conspiracy theory while calling others out tor it, right?

Of course Crooks was a conservative planning this three years in advance! How could I not see that?! He wasn’t too much of a little bitch to touch a rifle, after all!

Again, this is obvious sarcasm that you might miss. Just trying to help you out here.

Were you at the Capital on January 6th? Why not? Are you not a patriot? Are you a chicken?

To be honest, I didn’t care enough to attend Jan 6. I’m not convinced the election was stolen, nor was I willing to abandon what I was doing for a few days. You’re the only one between the two of us who thinks peace isn’t an option; I wouldn’t recommend it, but I can’t stop you from being braver than me.

However, I doubt you’d do anything right now. You’re a shit excuse for a human being who might do something horrible in the future, but for now, you’re also a sad, angry loser who likes blowing off steam on DART all day long (if your one month ban didn’t make it obvious enough).

This will energize the MAGA base incredibly, they all had to take a cold shower after the mug shot, now he's a full-blown martyr, and the way he reacted with the fist bump, it couldn't have been planned better. 

And the MAGA fascists think he will be loyal to them, what a joke, he's never been loyal to anyone, they will be just as fucked over as the rest of us. 

The MAGA base sits in their trailer park and think "He's one of us" LOL, ask Pence how Trump repays loyalty.

What a fucking shit show.

A true patriot! So Trump lied about the election being stolen but you support him anyway. That’s beautiful. 

I’m sure you were doing what you always do on January 6th. Nothing
