On Saturday, July 13, 2024, a 20-year-old man Thomas Matthew Crooks, with no military training and a school shooting team reject, came within a hummingbird's breath of assassinating former President Donald Trump at a rally in Butler, PA.
Crooks was spotted at least twice by police, just 26 minutes before firing on the Trump crowd and hitting President Trump in the right ear when he miraculously turned his head. Sadly, one person in the crowd, a retired volunteer fire chief, was killed as he put his body in front of his daughters. His name was Corey Comperatore. In addition, two other individuals, David Dutch, 57, of New Kensington, and James Copenhaver, 74, of Moon Township, were critically injured but at last report their condition has been upgraded from critical to stable condition.
The Beaver County Emergency Services Unit traveled to the Trump rally from a nearby Pittsburgh suburb and saw Crooks on the roof, took a photo of him, and reported it around 5:45 p.m. WPXI reported.
And while Crooks stood out like a huge zit on Biden's nose, he was able to maintain his cover on the rooftop, right under the noses of a local police sniper team WHO WERE STATIONED INSIDE THE BUILDING UPON WHOSE ROOF HE LAY! I guess hiding in plain sight has its merits.
The AGR International Inc. factory building is next to the Butler County Farm Fair grounds. It was being used by local cops as a “watch post”[no pun intended] for snipers to scan for threats as the former president spoke onstage a mere 130 yards away, according to sources.
Cops were inside, but not on the roof during the shooting, sources said. So they saw nothing and heard nothing, a la Sergeant Schultz of Hogan's Heroes.
Crooks had scaled the building unnoticed, before getting off eight rounds with an AR-style rifle, bought by his father in 2020. One bullet grazed former Trump's right ear, killing Compatore and wounding the other two men.
Law enforcement sources said it was not clear as of Monday night whether any of the local officers — who were tasked with securing the perimeter outside location of the rally — were able to warn Secret Service agents about the gunman, but if that was the case, the question is, why didn't they get Trump off the stage immediately?
In fact, there was about two-minutes of video that paints the Secret Service as the Keystone Kops, [older followers of Brain Flushings will know this reference] and their lowest point of their century protecting U.S. presidents.
A multi-feed video montage put together by MilkBarTV, has been viewed over 3.5 million times on X, shows the attempted assassination play out in real time using clips from several different vantage points. People from the crowd were pointing the gunman out, yelling that he has a rifle, and nothing happened for several minutes until he began firing the rifle.
A local cop had made his way up to the roof but Crooks pointed his weapon at him and the officer ducked and fell to the ground, at which point he began shooting at Trump.
Fortunately, Crooks displayed the marksmanship of Stevie Wonder but sadly, he killed a Trump supporter anyway, and seriously injured the two others.
The Director of the Secret Service, Kimberly Cheatle, must resign.
Comment if you will.
