From The Conservative Treehouse:
According to the New York Post, the assassin who tried to kill President Donald J Trump was Thomas Matthew Crooks, age 20 from Bethel Park, Pennsylvania.
Photo apparently taken of him before the shot
The FBI Pittsburg field office is in charge of the investigation. However, as with all high-profile domestic terror attacks, shootings and killings that directly impact the “peace and tranquility” we can expect the DOJ-CRS to take over the information pipeline.
The FBI is officially calling the shooting an “attempted assassination attempt. The motive is undetermined.
(New York Post) – The gunman who attempted to assassinate former President Donald Trump Saturday was identified as 20-year-old Thomas Matthew Crooks, sources told The Post.
Crooks, of Bethel Park, Pa., squeezed off shots — one of which grazed Trump in the ear — at an outdoor rally in Butler, just outside Pittsburgh. Sources said Crooks was was planted on a roof of a manufacturing plant more than 130 yards away from the stage at Butler Farm Show grounds. (read more)
The following will be the prevailing opinion by noon:
I’m a trained sniper as well. I was the sniper on a BOP SORT team for years. Part of your job is looking through your rifle scope for would be threats to your team. How the hell did they not see a perp on a roof that was a few hundred feet away from the venue? I mean supposedly those same snipers were the ones who took him out, so why did he get shots fired off to begin with?!
A comment last night from someone who is known to us, and is a competitive rifle markswoman:
As a person who has recently entered precision shooting, civilians do not understand it looks hours and hours of training, even years and 1000 of rounds down the range to shoot like this to even get close to a human head. There is NO way a commie mentally unstable clown could have done this even with the most expensive equipment out there. This is some type of highly trained person. PERIOD.
Unstable is a questionable attribute in this context. But certainly the person can not be totally undisciplined.
Some of these people do have something in common though. There will be an interview published within the next few days hopefully with an expert on a very specific strategic targeting US patriots to get them to act in a manner that will start a US civil war. And there are several countries that would find that of tremendous value to them. Countries who for example, are currently under fire from US weapons and weapons platforms, if we were to go to motives. It would certainly be a viable theory as to what could be behind this assassination attempt. It was in fact the same philosophy and actors behind the Christchurch Mosque shooting. But it requires a more complete understanding than I can give it here to be even worthy of consideration. So let’s call this foreshadowing rather than explanation. When we add in the contents of this interview with what we know of the Hegelian weaponry of dialectics, it falls together very neatly.
But again, this goes to motive. Who actually did it and their own reasoning we may never know. People’s objections to the handling of this event are noteworthy. Even if they don’t speak to the grand design. And sometimes there isn’t one. But it is difficult to look at an event like that without considering what the obvious and most likely consequences of that event would be one move ahead at least. And I think we all know what that move would be. And it would likely make the riots of 2020 by the Democrat sponsored ANTIFA/BLM revolutionaries seem like nothing in comparison.
This is an interesting photo. It was a very bright day, so the fellow would have used a high shutter speed. Not enough of an expert to say this is real, but I suppose it could be. Within the red oval there is a line which the Tweet claims is the bullet. It would look like a line as it would be a point moving as far as it did from the time the shutter opened to where it closed, which likely was around 1/2500th of a second.
Right after this event, the crowd acted properly towards media present. Because no matter what the back story is on this, deliberately false reporting, or what we call here, a mass line Maoist narrative attack on president Trump is without question an enormous part of the impetus of this attempt on his life, if not the actual motivation of the shooter. The Media itself has become a weapon against our peoples and nations. In Canada, the CBC is a stellar example of that.
The following is the newest photo alleged to be of the shooter at this time. Note this time they didn’t wait for him to go to a movie and get arrested after.
Breitbart appears to have sourced the claim that Biden instructed principle people to “Put Trump in the Bullseye”. Who talks like that? This is not normal political speech.
President Joe Biden reportedly told donors on a phone call on Monday that it was “time to put” former President Donald Trump “in the bullseye.”
“Biden told donors on a private call this afternoon: ‘It’s time to put Trump in the bullseye,’” Kenneth P. Vogel, a reporter with the New York Times, wrote in a post on Monday.
Who is the head of the Secret Service who is responsible for Trump’s protection?

Emergency Room Doctor speaks on his experience trying to save the life of the man who did get killed as a result of the assassination attempt.
Dunno about this one. How do we know he was watching the sniper? Top video is interesting though. It appears to be the roof sniper after being shot. The same person many were pointing at and telling authorities he was there and should be dealt with.

Had to add this here. The rest are all in the comments.
