Thomas Matthew Crooks, the suspectin Saturday’s shooting, was registered as a Republican voter, according to Pennsylvania records.
Already the republicans are dismissing his voter registration as meaningless. Here comes the “mental illness” angle.
Edit: apparently it’s not uncommon to register with the party you oppose in PA. This is going to be a fun ride.
There’s apparently a video of him saying he hates trump and republicans. It’s getting messy.
That was by a lookalike from 4chan I thought, the blue shirt video?
There’s certainly going to be absolutely no end to that bullshit as well.
Corporate News Sewers: “Well there’s only one thing for it. MORE POLLS!!!”
What’s surprising is how unsurprised I am by that shit. I didn’t read it and go, “No way, no one would do that!” Nope. As soon as I stumbled on it, I thought, “Well of course the chuds on 4chan did that.”
Yeah, blue shirt in the car.
That would be really bizarre if a dude that looks so much like the shooter was able to whip out a video so quickly. The only thing I couldn’t quite tell was that images of the shooter looks like he has an underbite almost, and the vid clip guy looks more normal.
Edit: found it. Allegedly someone called Maxwell Yearick?
E2:… ok. So looking up Maxwell Yearick gets things a little confusing. There are nsfw images of the deceased shooter that definitely look like he has the slight underbite/protruding lower jaw. Yearick is a protester who was arrested at a political demonstration and I don’t think he looks like the video guy at all nor do I think he looks like the deceased. Blue shirt guy looks closest, but we’ll have to see what shakes out of that.
I won’t be surprised if they will use generative AI to spread disinformation as well
They can make the shooter say and do more or less anything, even if it’s not true
