Awk? Thomas Crooks, who donated 15 bucks to Act Blue, is a 69-year-old Democrat who lives in Pittsburgh and just happens to have the same name as the Republican who shot Trump.Democrats lie all the time. You're talking about a would be assassin who shot the leading presidential candidate, who is running as a republican. Whether he's a "never trumper" rino or a full blown card carrying ACLU member matters not. Actions speak... and democrats lie. And I believe nothing you post. You can believe it’s the guns too. Because it is.

Yeah that's it... the blue fairy sprinkles pixie dust on them and the guns get up and have a party before they go out and pull their own triggers. Definitely not shit libs to blame.

...who contributed to a Progressive Leftist group. You "left" that part out. ^Oh. Thomas Crooks, who donated 15 bucks to Act Blue, is a 69-year-old Democrat who lives in Pittsburgh and just happens to have the same name as the Republican who shot Trump.A 69 year old Democrat who lived at the shooter’s address? Its a fact the shooter donated to the Leftist group. The address of the donor is the address of the shooter. The major media groups are standing by the assertion. CNN is still standing by it as of an hour ago. Now isn’t that awkward?

View AttachmentThe bullet is the silver streak to our right (Trump’s left). It looks like a long rod. Can u have a News photographer taken regular pictures have a camera that is high tech to pick up an AR 15 .223 bullet that exits the nozzle at 3,000 ft per sec that converts to 2,250 miles a hr only traveling 300 to 400 ft if it drops to 2,000 mph nearly 3 times the speed of sound is anybody a camera buff?
A professional photographer is going to have high end equipment.... And in that setting... He is going to have his shutter speed cranked up. For a couple of reasons. Bright midday sun. And his subject is going to be constantly moving. even if just his mouth... .A fast shutter speed freezes motion. And with that bright sun a photographer is going to be able to get really fast.... A shutter speed of 2500 or higher. He is also going to be using some sort of continuous auto focus feature. And have it in burst mode... A top end camera set up like Might run as many as 60 to 80 frames per second. I know Canon has a couple of models that can run 60-75 frames per second at the right settings.
He is going to have everything set up in a way that he can shoot the most good quality frames as fast as he can. His job at that point is to make sure the microprocessor knows he is looking at Trumps face and to keep his rig as steady as possible. He is going to be shooting free handed as well. So him keeping the camera steady is also a priority. His rig is probably going to weight 4-6 pounds which sounds light. But keep a compact mass of that weight up to your face for very long and your hands or arms are going to start trembling... His camera is also going to have sort of face priority setting. Where the microprocessor notices faces and gives them priority...
So capturing that bullet is quite possible. And I believe it is genuine.... As Bullfrog said... Something that is moving supersonic is going to show up elongated or rod shaped.
I have had moving bullets show up on photos before....Nothing as fast as a 5.56 Nato round... But I believe the better of the two camera bodies would catch that shot... And My Canon 90D is a nice mid grade professional quality camera... Very good.. but not even close to 60 FPS good...

A report just came out claiming the shooter was confronted by a local police officer moments before the shooting, on the roof, and the officer retreated after the shooter pointed his gun at him. The officer was hanging on the the edge of the roof, let go and fell to the ground. There was no way the officer could get to his weapon. It was either minutes or seconds before the shooter opened fire, depending on which news agency is reporting. A local police officer spotted would-be assassin Thomas Crooks on the rooftop from which he tried to kill Donald Trump but was forced to back off when he confronted him.
Crooks aimed his rifle at the officer, who could not reach his own gun, before firing about eight shots at the former president.
Trump’s ear was grazed, a bystander was killed, and two others at the rally were wounded on Saturday.
Butler County Sheriff Michael T Slupe said the officer was gripping the edge of the roof after climbing up using a ladder, and could not reach his gun, when Crooks aimed at him.
“He lets go because he doesn’t want to get killed,” the sheriff said.

The only thing that isnt a conspiracy is the total failure of the Secret Service.

Cad, did you remove your post where you said I didn’t verify the shooter’s address and that its “awkward” that I didn’t check my sources? Did you delete your own post because you found out I was right, that the shooter’s address is one and the same as person who donated to the Leftist group? You also chided me for not noticing that a Thomas Crooks had contributed to the same group a lot over the years. But you failed to see that other Thomas Crooks was out of California based on the same link you provided.

Plenty of people hate Trump a life long liberal New York loud mouth for destroying the Republican party. I'm sure we will find out in the days to come what internet forums and everything else about this guy. A lot of things don't add up, but do they ever. Had he been successful we would already know his middle name because all assassin's are called by their full name. 🤔
Of course both sides will try to spin the narrative despite any evidence to the contrary. It's so predictable at this point.
Helicopters, drones, snipers, and hundreds of uniformed and plain clothes officers, agents, and thr like and this "kid" is able to get to a roof, set up, and take a shot or 3???
After the shot Trump is allowed to stand for a couple of photo op pics instead of being whisked away to a car? All the while saying let me get my shoes?

Got to maintain his know it all status I don’t fault him for making a mistake. We all do. I do fault him for being snarky, trying to play a gotcha game with me, and then trying to hide it when he realized he was wrong. I read his post first thing this morning. I just didn’t have time to respond until right now. Cad said it was unknown whether the Thomas Crooks contributed to the Leftist group was the same, suggested that he probably was not the same because Thomas Crooks had been contributing to this group for years, and that I hadn’t done my homework and shame on me for not verifying it. But of course, it was verified that the shooter’s address was the same as the contributor’s address, and the other Thomas Crooks who’s contributed to the group over the years was a different person out of California.
