#AttemptedAssassination #Trump #Shooter
Only a few rooftops surrounding the area, and a 20 y.o. untrained person can stay at the rooftop directly facing the venue easily with a rifle.
What a joke with the secret service and the police
This is the United States, where people have guns. You gotta be more serious dealing with the security.
If Trump had a son.
why he don’t like Trump?
No o es knows this kid. Parents? Teachers? Friends, coworkers?
Did anybody notice Christopher Wray looks like Christopher Nolan. Wierd coincidence?
WHY WAS HE ALLOWED TO GO ON THE ROOF TOP???
He wasn’t?
comments deleted…how democrack is this social media?
Crazy first time the media says this kid doesnt have any mental issues
Something fishy about this case..bet trump paid them off tooo..
Just humor me a sec i got a couple of theories 😅…
So this shooter He was a member at a local gun club, He was a gun enthusiast, He was wearing a t shirt from Demolition Ranch – “a Youtube channel known for its firearms and demolition content.”
….There is NO WAY this guy was voting for f+_king Biden.
Some might say He made the ultimate sacrifice to ensure Trump will be viewed an American Hero thus solidifying his victory when he wins the Election..
He missed on purpose. He was very familiar with that gun. Maybe he had been depressed and suicidal for awhile now and wanted to go out this way.
Or maybe he was anti-government in general and hates all politicians .
WHO KNOWS.
Who else thinks the Bidens paid this man
a registered Republican??how can that be.
Surely minitrue has decided it was a false flag op. We have always been at war with Eurasia.
Joe would never leave office as his evidence of past crimes would appear as quickly as Covid Origins vanished!!!!!!!!!!!!!” “Those who vote decide nothing. Those who count the vote decide everything.”
― Joseph Stalin As the pathetic supporters ignored falling upstairs or falling off a Stationary bicycle,, or on mutiple stage falls??????? Joe Biden , describes America in single word as “ASUFUTIMAEHAEHFUTBW
FBI need to stay out of the investigation
If the shooter was Muslim it would have been a terrorist attack but since he was Zionist, nobody is taking about. This shows all the Media in USA are controlled by One group!
What does it matter if he was a registered Republican or a Democrat why is the news media making this such a political thing The media I don’t care who it is or nothing but a bunch of BS liars and storytellers
After the Russian collusion hoax and the suppression of the Hunter Biden’s laptop story last election, it has become hard to believe anything coming from FBI and the mainstream media when it comes to election coverage and finding the motive behind this horrifying assassination attempt. With all the hate rhetoric and hate mongering coming from the mainstream media towards President Trump, it created an atmosphere of hate that such a violent act could happen. The mainstream need to lower their hate volume so the political discourse does not led to another act of violence towards President Trump and his supporters.
Did you check for missed matched socks? Could be a lead, especially if you find someone with the other mismatched as well. Or maybe he just has another pair just like them at home.
Hire Private Security. SS is Incompetent… Or Complicit. Either way Cannot be Counted On to PROTECT!
I thought the left was peaceful and always had the moral high ground.
Posts are deleted not because of hate. The USA Government’s misinformation campaign must maintain priority over social media at all cost.
Tom Tom wil not be remembered, that’s the only reason they do this stuff!, a few days pass and he’s gone! Forgotten,🤣
Seems to me yall should be looking into the ties between black rock and the kid for a motive!!!
Conspicuous conspiracy!
So, did Crooks take his own ladder, did they just leave a ladder, that Secret Service failed to see, by the building, or was a ladder attached to the building ?
“Officers were reportedly told by rally attendees moments before a gunman attempted to assassinate former President Donald Trump of a man trying to reach the roof of a nearby building using a ladder. “(Scripps News)
Saying he was a registered Republican is such bs lol. He’s 100% a 20 year old crazy leftist… you think he’s going actually going to be registered? Hes never even voted before
God you’re so dumb.
Republicans keep trying to sway votes or discourage voters. That’s a fact!
Tom why I can’t not talk yesterday ? please talk to me sent me messages now please
Apersidant Joe bieden talk and action make me felling not good at all. I say please Apersidant Doneld j trump and Apersidant Joe bieden please no fright Enough just talk please thank you. Now what i not talking. Up to Apersidant Doneld j trump
Hmmmm what could his motive be???? 🤨 🧐 🤔 not like you, other media or politicians didn’t inflame someone to act on everything you say. Like calling Trump Hitler, demonizing half the country or condoning acts of violence through the summer of love
Since he used to like dressing like a hunter he probably thought Trump was a white buffalo.
Bro had sharpest chin.
“Thoughts and prayers.”
His motive is quite obvious, only not to law enforcement. The real question is how did he climbed upon a roof 150 yards His motive is NOT important, it’s how did he climbed upon a roof 150 yards from a President of the USA and was not spotted, that is insane. Just like the insurrection, no one on duty……. from a President of the USA with a rifle and not be spotted, that is insane. Just like the insurrection, no one on duty…….
His not Republicans if he wears a face mask. This is like a muscle for sheepole.
First they tried to demonize him. When they couldn’t convince enough people that he was the anti-Christ they tried to put him in prison. Fortunately there are still some judges with integrity and that has failed. Now an attempt on his life has failed and future security will be very tight. How do the democrats prevent a Biden Trump contest if Biden won’t step down and they can’t eliminate Trump? Watch your back Joe. Accidents happen to the elderly. They even pass in their sleep
His motive is a mystery? LOL NBC that’s the funniest thing ever. I really wonder what his motive was………hmmmmmmmmm?
HE 20 YES WE ALL KNOW, HE OFF PEOPLE POINT BLANK, THE ENTIRE GLOBAL WORLD HEARD THE CRIES OF THE PEOPLE WHO WITNESS IT, COME ONNNN, LET IT GO WHAT U R SAYING IS TRASH TALK
He’s Republican
Thomas Matthew Crooks. We will remember your name.
Something is off with that kid that says he knew him from school. He was shown two different times in two different shirts saying, he was picked on. A loner, cause you know how kids are these days.
No.
I have 3 children. 22 yr old, 18 yr old , and 6 . Nobody talks like that! Especially 20 yr olds.
Sounds like someone elses words.
I don’t like that part. Doesn’t fit.
Then, there is the secret service not aware of a gunman ! Ample time to get multiple shots off!
No again.
Weird facts.
The person responsible for the attempted deletion of former President Trump was 12 when Trump was elected. I’m sure we can remember the media’s dehumanizing and demonizing done to Trump from day 1 until the present. The media was and still is demonizing and dehumanizing him, for example the media stating over and over saying Trump is an existential threat to democracy. Of course the young man that pulled that trigger was thinking he was doing the right thing. Not to mention that he was allegedly associated with Portland blac bloc, Seattle antifa collective, Los Angeles antifa, and NY antifa which radicalized an already polarized viewpoint… On top of that our education systems infiltration by far/hard left ideologies. This young man was traumatized by the country he should be able to trust in being sold a dystopian future and fear mongering by the Democratic party. The left needs to hold itself accountable for it’s past actions and adjust.
You had 1 job. 1 job you’ve been practicing for all your life. And you’re 7 seconds late
Why are comments beong deleted?
Are we living in the twilight zone bc…
Wray is a crook himself what a joke this country is falling people and are government is behind all of this
That Jason Kohler kid was in a 30 minute interview where he literally said verbatim “he was one year up from me. (Graduated a year later) I just found out today I went to high school with him. I don’t know if I went to elementary school with him. I never saw him or met him.” So he needs to shut tf up and stop trying to capitalize on this, get on tv and get some clout when he didn’t even know the dude at all. He literally didn’t even know he went to the same school!
tips on what
Bet NBC was happy behind the scenes
SJB
The photo showing his body shows clearly that he doesnt look like aa 20 yr old and his arm looks like he had a strong muscular body.
Scapegoat
Who bear crawls across METAL ROOF in the heat of the day????? Has anyone ever touched a metal roof after being the sun for hours????
❤
Watck the whole video as the shooting happend keep a close eye on the lady right behind trump to his left our right she had blue hat on and sunglasses and a white phone . She didnt act fazed about nothing and instantly started i think recording i think she knows something.
INVESTIGATE BLACKROCK!
According to some reports, it was a different Thomas Crooks who donated to the democratic group.
You know how kids are nowadays…….they have always been like this.
He missed it was an attempted assassination.yeah ok
How can someone be bullied for wearing a mask when everyone was required to wear one? what a world we live in.
They will never tell how this kid got to this point.
What do you need a motive for? 80 million Americans hate the other 80 million Americans! Not clear yet?
Tips from demo
1:33 you know how kids are nowadays 🤣🤣 Chad is Trolling
Bro plays to much warzone
I do not trust CNN, ABC. NBC at all
I like how they say this 20 year old(voted once if he’s lucky) is a republican but donates to the left and his parents are known progressive leftys
We all know
It was the shooters connection with black rock. Why was the secret service evacuating their own personnel backstage and not Trump
The fact they said he always wore a surgical means he was never a Republican Trump supporter
Youtube deleting comments left and right
Sacrificial lamb? A sleeper strategically placed as Republican. Was this personal against Trump? Did he understand this was always going to be a suicide mission? At 20 years old was he so committed to a cause that he was willing to die for it? Did he act alone or is something much more sinister going on here? How does his appearing in a Black rock video come in to play here? Why did they remove it? Why were the witnesses ignored? Were there agents and officers inside that building? Was it used as a staging or command post? Why wasn’t Trump pulled from the podium when this man was first seen? Why the confusion and apparent less than adequate surveillance, coverage and reaction time? So many questions here. Something seems so underhanded and wrong. I really hope I’m wrong about what I’m thinking.
Biden said it was a mistake to use the word “bullseye” on a call with Democratic donors last week – 7-16-2024
New details expert none are new
Wore glasses at an early age fortunately
Did anyone from the news media confirm if this Jason kid was ever in the same room with the shooter? A confirmed acquaintance of the gunman says the narrative being put out there by “Jason” is incorrect.
BlackRock is 100% invoking something called Predictive Programming (regarding pulled commercial). An example is the movie White Noise about a train derailment BEFORE the huge chemical spill/train derailment in EP Ohio, a few miles from where it happened in movie. It’s not enough for evil ppl to do evil things, they have to let you know they planned it, and they try to get you to accept it with PP. Another example is The Simpsons with 911
Bullying is wrong man bad stuff happens when when some someone bullies another person
Don’t bully people
Bologna, 😂 The head secret service stood down. This kid was a Patsy.. Anyone that says different is lying.. Mainstream news bs hasn’t even covered the water tower shooter theory and are trying to blame it on Iran.Your a sham mainstream news…
They will say he was a muslim 😂
20yr old registered Republican
So fake
YT is absolutely @ REDLINE truing to keep people from speaking the truth.
Either GROSS INCOMPETENCE or TREE SON.
Wonder how long this stays up after I send a screen grab to my lawyer?
Mk ultra 0:44
The fact that nobody talks about the forbidden book 25 Money Secrets From Donald Trump speaks volumes about how people are stuck in a trance
JESUS IS COMMING SOON!🙏🙏🙏❤️
If there is anyone curious, here are the three steps on how to get saved, and be right with God who loved us all, for eternal life!
As anyone at all can get saved!
1-Realize that everyone has sinned before God in some way or another.
Romans 3: 10+23 (KJB)
10. “As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one:”
23. “For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God.”
2-Realize that God loved us, even as wicked sinners, enough to allow Jesus to pay the full price for our sins as a freely given gift.
Romans 5: 8-9 (KJB)
8. “But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.”
9.”Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from wrath through him.”
3-Confess unto God, asking to be forgiven of your sins by accepting this free gift of forgiveness, that is given freely to whosoever does so.
1 Corinthians 15: 1-4 (KJB)
1.”Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand;
2.”By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain.”
3.”For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures;”
4.”And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:”
Romans 10: 9-10+13 (KJB)
9. “That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.”
10.”For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.”
13.”For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.”
Hebrews 9: 27-28 (KJB)
27.”And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment:”
28.”So Christ was once offered to bear the sins of many; and unto them that look for him shall he appear the second time without sin unto salvation.”
Revelation 21: 8 (KJB)
“But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.”
Romans 6: 23 (KJB)
“For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.”
(Lastly here is an example of what to pray to God to get saved and forgiven of your sins.)
“Dear God, I am a sinner and need saving.
I know I’m not good enough to get to heaven and I need you to save me.
I need the righteousness of your son, Jesus Christ.
I believe that Jesus is the Lord, who died, was buried and resurrected so that his precious blood can wash away my sins.
I trust in him alone to save me.
Nothing else. Not my good works or anything else. Only Jesus.
I pray this in Jesus’ name, Amen.”
The Media and so on is leading everyone up the garden path .

you are all being stooged .
Had to dodge algo .

Where is the motive? 😂
“Made fun of for wearing a mask”
It’s amazing what people consider bullying these days. The real losers are the ones who think germ-theory is a joke.
They put him under MK ULTRA
did anybody stop the think that the CIA or FBI sit this young boy up? do you think it’s possible that this young boy thought he was actually working for them and that they wanted him to protect Trump? just thinking.
Political jokes 😢😢😢
bro is to much watching anime 😂 lol
i think he played blue archives 😂😂
