"Known to the FBI"

russiagate blueanon guy who genuinely believed the "trump is the singular threat to democracy" pitch and actually took it to the logical conclusion

UlyssesT

Someone with incoherent politics who is surrounded by libs constantly bleating about how dangerous Trump is, with some need for being important but is low status.

Please be something related to the moonies, that'd be so damn funny.

The real target was the MAGA guy who got drilled, trump was collateral damage.

Ukrainian who doesn't want Trump to get in and end support for the war / NATO

Q-Anon weirdo

Completely unaffiliated guy who's mad about Epstein

Guy Trump owes money to

Guy who's mad about Trump cheating at golf

Actually DirtOwl

Guy that lost his life savings by investing in bump stocks right before the ban

Guy who's mad about Trump inventing the covid vaccine

Guy who's suspiciously close to someone in a high level government or fortune 500 job

Boat owner

lolbertarian or slava ukraini guy

A radical anti-porn activist, upset at his affair with Stormy Daniels, who was completely juiced up on a 93-day nofap streak.

That or a YIMBY who felt betrayed that a developer president never deregulated zoning via executive order.

I'm hoping its something really silly. Like, something clearly not mental illness, but Scientology or something.

Azov Battalion soldier

Accelerationist that wants to kickstart the second civil war

Define "actual leftist" since being the only actual leftist alive it can't be that.
But my guess is that he outwardly identified as one.

4. Radlib of some kind. It doesn't make sense to me as a leftist. I agree with SorosFootSoldier that qanon goober would be another likely bet, but the only two political shootings I can think of from the democratic base were both social democrats- the baseball field shooting and that one outside a bar in Ohio. Adventurism makes sense if you're a liberal drunk on Great Man Theory without any kind of actual sociopolitical theory that'd give you something beyond it.

Disillusioned QAnoner who's pissed off Trump didn't gitmo Killary.

Anarcho-Bidenist

5. dumb redneck chud or nonpolitically aligned kid who wanted 15 mins of fame

Shining Path

A new Keynesian synthesis extremist loner that was acting to protect central bank independence

Just another guy with a crush on Jodie Foster

Thomas Matthew Crooks was a registered republican, apparently. He's from a village 40 miles south of the where the Rally was. thomas_crookspa shared a video on Instagram claiming in a video they acquired from their private social media and a few twitter accounts sharing it. This smells fishy.

Trump is now saying that DHS under Biden has denied him multiple security requests.

There is a stark difference between his photos and at the shooting; but it's plausible. Me? I doubt it, but this video is weird as it is rushing through social media like wildfire; combined with "instagram sources" claiming he was associated with Antifa. Other sources are saying he's libertarian...you get it. Absolute disinfo shitstorm to make the chuds grip their rifles and distrust all others. People are more scared in the dark.

I do believe this is one of the few confirmed things we have. He was also wearing this shirt.

Also, for some reason, his name searched on social medias appear on wayback machine on this day at 03:59 but all of it has been scrubbed.

Old Southern Aristocracy Monarchist

He apparently was wearing a Demolition Ranch tee, whatever that may mean - might he be a libertarian?

Someone whose brain was rotted by project 2025 fear mongering.

5. One of Trump's idiot fans who was like "hu'hyuk, gawrsh, take a lerk at ma guhn" and accidentally fired the weapon

The camo. Ex military / Ukrop.

Self proclaimed centrist. Too bad he just couldn't aim for center of mass.
