Little so far is known about Crooks other than his address and the fact that he was registered as a Republican but also gave $15 to a liberal PAC on 20 January 2021, the day President Joe Biden was sworn in to office. The donation to the group, ActBlue, was earmarked for its Progressive Turnout Project, which aims to encourage liberals to vote.

Crooks' father, Matthew Crooks, briefly spoke to CNN on Saturday night, saying he was looking into "what the hell is going on" and that before commenting further he would "wait until I talk to law enforcement".

Crooks graduated in 2022 from Bethel Park High School and received a $500 "star award" from the National Math and Science Initiative, according to the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review.

Bizarre. A disgruntled conservative? A loopy right pretending to be a loopy left to inflame the loopy right??

Other avenues being explored though, according to RTE...

The initial headlines from left leaning news outlets were something to behold.

"Trump falls on stage as loud pops are heard" etc.

Biden's comments about having him in the bullseye are aging quite badly given he only made them the other day. On the other hand, I think we've well established that Biden doesn't know what he's saying from one minute to the next so he'll have to get a bye on this one.

I'm not running with the "it was staged" narrative, but if it was to be a setup it couldn't have went better for Trump really. The theories are fairly wild already with the most prevalent ones being it was staged and/or it was allowed to happen by Secret Service and 3 letter agencies. Personally I think Trump Derangement Syndrome is a real thing and I am honestly surprised it took this long for someone to have a pop at him, or indeed Sleepy Joe while I'm thinking of it.

All I want to know is is there any video of Trump diving and then applying a blood bag to his ear. The whole thing is fishy as fuck. America  Fuck Yeah.

That photo... Fist in the air, blood across his face and the flag up behind him.

Jesus Christ on a bike, you couldn't plan it any better.

Exactly. I'm not saying it was a false flag but fuck me it played out 100% like a false flag.

Although the flag is upside down. Maybe that is a deeper symbolic point...

Rick Rubin is behind it?

Even if it was staged, how exactly does it help Trump win votes?

[Black Shepherd Carnage]

Again, I don't at this point think it was staged, but the attempt, and especially his immediate response to it, make him look like a hero to many US citizens who wouldn't necessarily have looked upon him as a hero previously. The images are peak "America, fuck yeah!", and that's a mentality that exists well beyond the typical MAGA boundaries.
