A Trump-backed fundraiser for the victims of Saturday's shooting smashed its $1 million goal, reaching more than $5 million by Wednesday.

“President Trump called me to share his condolences,” Helen Comperatore wrote on social media. “He was very kind and said he would continue to call me in the days and weeks ahead. I told him the same thing I told everyone else. [Her husband Corey] left this world a hero and God welcomed him in. He did not die in vain that day.”

This just hit: Thomas Crooks' parents 'called the cops on the day of the Trump rally shooting'

At around 3pm on Saturday, Crooks was spotted at the rally's security screening area and tried to pass through metal detectors with the rangefinder, which is used by shooters to measure distance.

The device, which looks like a small pair of binoculars, would not have prevented him getting into the rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, but did put him on law enforcement's radar.

"There Should be a Lot of Blood" — Photos and ER Trauma Surgeon Says Trump Rally Sniper Body is Missing Massive Bloodsprays VIDEO

In comparing the picture from a drone of the whole roof with the picture provided by federal authorities of the body up close, Dr. James notices several irregularities in how the blood has dried on the face. “Blood follows gravity, so if the entry point is behind the head, it won’t be going against gravity.”

https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2024/07/interview-wheres-blood-photos-er-trauma-surgeon-says/

Dr. James says the few pictures that have emerged from the rally scene don’t make sense.. “There should be a lot of blood, and there aren’t, in these pictures,” said Dr. James

Dr. James says that the pictures of what federal authorities claim is the body of Thomas Crooks on top of the American Glass Research building in Butler, Pennsylvania, from where Crooks is alleged to have taken shots at President Trump, is missing a large bloodspray behind the body that would be typical.

“There should be a considerable amount of blood. It depends on the exact trajectory through the head and also a few other factors, but behind the body should be a significant amount of blood, brain, hair, skull fragments, and even vertebrae,” Dr. James said.

PA Trump Rally Shooter Building Reportedly Owned by BlackRock, Managed by Executives from Pfizer

https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2024/07/pa-trump-rally-shooter-building-reportedly-owned-blackrock/

The building that the sniper was on, part of a complex that also included other snipers working for federal authorities who have not yet been disclosed, is owned by a company called “American Glass Research.” The building is at 615 Whitestown Road in Butler, Pennsylvania.

The location is currently being guarded by the Pennsylvania State Police, and as of Tuesday they had FBI Agents still on the ground. Which is odd, considering that there wasn’t much evidence to be collected on-site according to the official narrative.

American Glass Research has now been identified as partially-owned by BlackRock investments, and whose Executives are formerly with Pfizer. The company bills itself as “a full service independent research and testing laboratory with expertise in testing, design analysis, analytical testing, consulting, training, inspection, product liability and auditing for the glass container industry.”

DEEP DIVE Conservative journalist and activist Laura Loomer also announced a deep dive on American Glass Research and its Executives today:

Explainer-How Gun Laws in Pennsylvania, Where Trump Was Shot, Compare With Other US States

https://www.usnews.com/news/world/articles/2024-07-15/explainer-how-gun-laws-in-pennsylvania-where-trump-was-shot-compare-with-other-us-states

Thomas Matthew Crooks, the 20-year-old alleged shooter, was over the legal age of 18 to possess a long gun in the state. The firearm in Saturday's attack was purchased by his father, according to officials. It is not currently known if he had permission to use the firearm. Twenty-five states and the District of Columbia require locked storage of guns, although not Pennsylvania, according to the American Academy of Pediatrics.

The shooter reportedly purchased 50 rounds of ammunition just prior to Saturday's attack, according to CNN, citing a law enforcement official. Pennsylvania does not limit the number of firearms or the amount of ammunition an individual can purchase and the state does not perform background checks on ammunition purchases, according to Adam Garber of CeaseFirePA, which advocates for greater gun restrictions. Nine states and the District of Columbia regulate ammunition sales, according to the Giffords Law Center.

'FUBAR' is military slang for "F**ked Up Beyond All Recognition (or Repair)".

Trump gunman Thomas Crooks used bike to scout rally unimpeded

https://nypost.com/.../trump-gunman-thomas-crooks-used.../

Exclusive photos showed the gunman’s bike parked beneath a tree just yards away from the building where he fired up to eight shots, grazing Trump’s ear and killing a hero firefighter and wounding two other supporters.

A witness first noticed the bike at 5:30 p.m. — when Crooks was busy scoping out the perfect spot and more than 40 minutes before he fired gunshots.

Did you guess which gun photo I used? There are many more articles, and note most are from the MSM. Maybe they want Joe gone due to the Depression, Illegals he let in taking American jobs, or like many in his party do. NYP is the conservative news. Also a shooting and a person armed to close to the Convention Center. There are questions still hanging out there, Jill Bidden was speaking not far from the Trump Rally. With a lot more security. No one mentioned GENDER issues. OR drug use, that would require a Toxicology report.
