Biden said: “We're done talking about the debate. It's time to put Trump in the bullseye,” -Joe Biden. Then someone did. Witnesses have said they told police about the shooter climbing the ladder to the rooftop. Before the shooting. Witnesses have also said a local policeman climbed the ladder and the shooter pointed the rifle at him and he came back down. Again before the shooting. It looks like the Secret Service snipers had acquired the shooter in their scopes about 42 seconds before the shots were fired. Several shots were fired, hitting Trump in the ear and chest, before the SS snipers fired. Trump apparently had on a vest. About the shooter. He was featured in a Blackrock video at his HS. He made donations to the Democrats. He was seen on a video screaming in a rant about hating Trump and Republicans. He registered as a Republican. (likely to vote in the primary to try and block Trump. This is a common Dem tactic.) "Some Democrats voting in GOP primaries to block Trump picks" - AP.

How many shells were left in the box of 50? Crooks shot his rifle from on top of the metal roof. The shells can't go that far away from where he was shooting. I wish the experts would answer these questions. Were all the shell casings or the bullets that were fired recovered?

And what about the "new details". Nothing here that wasn't said 24 hours ago. You know nothing of the shooter that helps anyone understand who he was. What are his parent's names? Does he have siblings? Was he employed? This is pitiful news reporting.

if you say "new details" and there are no new details, then people will stop watching your broadcast. Karma

Was this the fastest scrub of social media ever? I haven't heard any reports with any mention of such.

[@willko88]

One of the reports I saw said that Thomas Crooks simply didn't have much of a social media presence.

[@curtf9813]

The FBI probably contacts the various outlets and asks them to take the accounts down before the name is even released

[@mattschrader5047]

Everyone saying he had no social media to cover up why it was all down so quick. This investigation was over before it started. Lone wolf, nobody knows anything, just like always

@@mattschrader5047 Or maybe he just... didn't have social media. Some people don't. It's not uncommon. Not everything is a cover up or conspiracy.

@@willko88 If he was 20 and owned either a cell phone or a computer he has a digital footprint and that is simply a fact. The information from either of those devices will tell us EVERYTHING we need to know regarding motive. Period. You live in your reality, and I'll live in mine.
