   According to some reports it looks like the shooter was a registered Republican.

   Of course this will be spinned as “radical left sleeper agent” or some shit like that.

   Don’t fall for it. Most political violence in this country is from right-wingers.

     @thomasfuchs Looks like trump's supporters created fake "social media" account to depict him as a leftist…

     @bmitch it was apparently another Thomas Crooks who donated (according to some screenshots going around)

     @thomasfuchs the stories I'm seeing say he donated to ActBlue. Since PA primaries are closed, people sometimes register based on the primary they want to vote in, rather than the party they favor in the general. No matter how this turns out, political violence is bad, and the right has a near monopoly on that.
