Thomas Matthew Crooks, the suspectin Saturday’s shooting, was registered as a Republican voter, according to Pennsylvania records.

Already the republicans are dismissing his voter registration as meaningless. Here comes the “mental illness” angle.

Edit: apparently it’s not uncommon to register with the party you oppose in PA. This is going to be a fun ride.

    He probably is a registered Republican. He’s a kid. His dad probably made him register Republican. His dad bought him the gun.

    What are the odds he hates his father and blames Trump for turning his dad into a soft-brain conspiracy-minded dumbass, filled with hate?

      Listen, while I don’t know exactly what his circumstances were, I agree he probably didn’t like the convicted felon, alleged by victims child rapist and ex president Donald Trump. I share that hunch with you.

        Old enough to vote …to young to drink. He’s still a kid in my book until he can buy a round at the bar

        Nah I’ve been told here on lemmy that 20yr olds are kids.

        But I’ve also had comments removed for being “ageist” for pointing out 20yr olds have virtually no life experience.
