More from the cited article...

... Crooks worked in a local nursing home kitchen just a short drive away from his home, the BBC understands.

State voter records show that he was a registered Republican, according to US media.

He is also reported to have donated $15 to liberal campaign group ActBlue in 2021.

According to US media reports, Crooks was wearing a T-shirt from Demolition Ranch, a YouTube channel known for its guns and demolition content. The channel has millions of subscribers featuring videos on different guns and explosive devices. ...

So, a Republican who seems to have an interest in the gun culture, but may not be so happy with what fmr Pres Trump has done to the GOP?

As much as I would like Trumpanzee irrevocably removed as a contender I don't want him martyred.

However... Trumpanzee is a man who hires the best of everything... best lawyers, best advisors... best security... until a gun-toting... socially inept... incell comes along... and decides to use his constitutional 2nd amendment right to be armed and defend the country against an imminent threat.

...Trumpanzee gets shot in the ear

I think that is what Thomas Matthew Crooks did yesterday.

... Jason Kohler, who said he attended the same high school but did not share any classes with Crooks, said Crooks was bullied at school and sat alone at lunch time. Other students mocked him for the way he dressed, such as hunting outfits, Kohler said.

"He was bullied almost every day," Kohler told reporters. "He was just a outcast, and you know how kids are nowadays." ...

Bomb-making materials were found inside Crooks' vehicle near the Trump rally and at his home, according to two officials who were not authorized to speak publicly and spoke on condition of anonymity. A white Allegheny County Police truck identified as bomb squad pulled up to the home late Sunday morning. ...

Sounds like that is ditto for the GOP huh? Remember the GOP created this by overturning 150 years of constitutional interpretation. "An armed society is a polite society" and all that other BS. That style of rifle would have been banned and rightfully so had the campaign from the 80s continued. He may have had a pump action rifle and shot once instead he killed another person and wounded 2 more critically.

Now slink back into your hidey hole in that Moscow basement so people with actual things to contribute can talk.

Some questions that I see are -- The building in question seemed to be outside the security perimeter. So, did the Secret Service not check it out, or did the Secret Service give responsibility to check it out to local law enforcement as they often appear to do in such circumstances? Keeping in mind that readily available AR-15 mass-murder weapons have a range of three times the approximate 150 yard distance from the building to the stage,

So, basically this kid was the bullied incel type to be an Alex Jones/Charley Kirk fan. A registered Repuke, gun culture nut, who has believed MAGAt lies that Dems are all pedophiles. What happend recently? The Epstine docs were release, so he took a look expecting to see Dems all over them, and instead he saw that he's been lied to, and that it's Dotard's name all over the docs. Donnie Dollhands was credibly accused of raping a 14-year-old. Then he started looking and listening to how Combover Quisling's been creeping on Vanky since she was 12 and had a "red pill" moment. It's Combover Caligula who is the convicted felon, adjudicated rapist, and credibly accused pedophile. So he decided to act as Alex Jones and the rest of the Reichwing noise machine has been pushing since Dotard rose to power, by using an AR15 to commit political violence. The GQP and MAGA created this monster, and we will all reap the MAGAt whirlwind.

"However, the two former classmates said they weren't clear about where, exactly, Crooks fell on the political spectrum. Smith said he believed Crooks's politics were more on the conservative side, while the other former classmate thought Crooks was more left-wing."

I've heard on various news networks that the FBI (part of DoJ) is conducting the investigation, and not the Secret Service (part of DHS) because there may have been an issue with how the Secret Service set up protection.
Secret Service is tasked with preventing assasinations, not investigating them. The investigation is the responsibility of the FBI, and would be regardless of how the Secret Service performed.

Crooks had been registered as a Republican voter, according to state records. He graduated from high school in Pennsylvania in 2022, district officials said. The suspect had no military affiliation, according to the Pentagon.

Myers and another student said that Crooks tried to join the high school's rifle team but was rejected and asked not to return after a "preseason" session.

"He didn't just not make the team, he was asked not to come back because how bad of a shot he was, it was considered like, dangerous," said Myers.

Another member of the team, who asked not to be named, told ABC News that there was a view that Crooks "wasn't really fit for the rifle team."

"He also shot terrible," the team member added.

Thank you. It was my error (typo) that prevented me from finding it. That is his correct address so the ActBlue is also him, unless there is another relative with the same name living tghere (grandfather, uncle). So a split decision on his political affiliation so far.
Im betting on a "troubled incel who wants to be infamous" profile.

My guess is that this isn't politically motivated. It sounds like he was suicidal or had a psychotic breakdown and wanted to go out in a blaze of glory. He probably figured that if he took out Trump people would remember him then. That's my guess at least.

Something righty tightys love to brag about

Righty tightys here in this forum insist that he has a right to do what he did.

Now it's bit them in their phat elephant --- because of how he used them rights of his... it wasn't against former classmates... which is easier for them to brush under the rug.

The facts are this: White, male, registered Republican tries to kill Trump with an AR-15.

So that this may never happen again, MAGA needs to go out and hunt down other white, male Republicans who own AR-15s. Once this dangerous extremist group has been rounded up, imprisoned and sentenced to long terms in prison, then and only then can MAGA truly declare that they have avenged this attempt on the life of their peaceful, well-intentioned leader, Donald J. Trump.

Quick VERY Recent History Lesson on Republicans:
A REPUBLICAN tried to assassinate Trump.
A group of REPUBLICANS threw an insurrection and tried to assassinate the Republican Vice President and some members of Congress.
A group of REPUBLICANS planned to kidnap and possibly assassinate the Democrat Governor of Michigan.
A REPUBLICAN assaulted Paul Pelosi and tried to kidnap Nancy Pelosi.

And we don't even need to list the whack jobs who were just caught with guns acting suspiciously ranting about killing other political leaders.

AR-15 style is used because AR-15 is a specific patent owned by Colt IIRC.

Any other "modern sporting rifle" will have a different name because they can't call it an AR-15.
