    Oh hey it’s the guy who lied about being hit with concrete and turned it into a career of lying for money.

    Antifa does not represent the majority of the left. They are anarchists who don't believe in government systems at all.

    The maddening thing now is looking at social media. There is a decent amount of good information out there now from reliable news outlets. Crooks' dad and classmates have been contacted and even answered some questions.

    And yet, I still am seeing a lot of people, mostly on the right, still saying someone else was the shooter or that they can't figure out what's wrong, but that video "the shooter" made doesn't make sense ... he's been trolling them for hours for mistakenly using his pic.

    Also, Andy Ngo is about as unreliable a source as there is on antifa. He has antifa tourettes.

    And, I apologize because I actually HAVE a life…..but why are these circus freaks continuing to type “TDS”? What is that?

    Yep. Shocking, I know.

    CNN talked to the dad who declined to do a full interview while he tried to figure out what happened.

    Of course, Crooks was carrying the gun out there and no one thought anything of it, which is surreal in itself and what our country has become.

    Trump Derangement Syndrome.

    It's what the right came up with, thinking they were clever, as a way to dismiss anyone who dare dislikes the Fuhrer. It's their way of controlling the narrative.

    That's a cop-out. Look at the video. He just documents what happens.

    The left whips themselves into a frenzy, by demonizing a group and proclaiming the hypothetical threat they pose, then they use that as justification to commit actual violence. While the mealy mouthed enablers make excuses and deflections like you just did.

    And you call other people "Nazis". Who are really acting like Nazis?

    Thomas Matthew Crooks was an American Patriot.

    At the young age of 20, he was a proud boy, with a gun. Ready to defend his country from evil.

    He should be hailed as a hero. With a bad aim...

    For one it looks like Palestinian protesters vs a Christian group. We don't see the lead up. Really it's just a lot of bodying up with a dude on the Christian side throwing a punch. Not saying any of its right. It looks like once again Ngo has misconstrued what is happening.

    One of the New York papers, I can't recall if it was the Post or the Daily News, but they had quotes from several of his classmates.

    The headline said Crooks was bullied but they really didn't do a good job of supporting that in the actual story. The classmates said he was basically a normal boy who had friends but didn't really have a set friend group, and somehow the reporter took that as unusual along with the fact that he played video games in homeroom.

    This reporter apparently only hangs out with people in their 60s.

    Anyway, the classmates said he often wore camouflage to school. Another said he didn't really talk politics but "He was normal. I figured he was Republican."

    I guess I should add some context, because I don't live far from where this happened and I actually have been in Butler a lot.

    Pittsburgh, like most cities, is overwhelmingly Democratic. The surrounding counties, which are more rural, lean or are solidly Republican.

    Bethel Park is one of the closest suburbs to Pittsburgh. The area as a whole is pretty affluent. My best friend, who is a Trump supporter and was at the rally yesterday with her mother and her nephew, lived in Bethel Park for years before moving to a similar community a few miles south.

    Trump is now saying God stopped the assassination.
