While it isn't certain, and we'd actually need to verify with more than a screenshot, the zip code matches Bethel Park. I don't know if there are more with that name in Bethel Park though. Also, if true, he was 17 when he made that donation, not even old enough to vote.
 
The shooter, Thomas Matthew Crooks, was a registered Republican according to state voting records.

A resident of Bethel Park, about an hour away from where the shooting occurred, Crooks was a registered Republican who would have been eligible to cast his first presidential vote in the Nov. 5 election in which Trump is challenging President Joe Biden. Public records show his father is a registered Republican and mother a registered Democrat.

The poll is asking whether we are certain we know which Thomas Crook donated to ActBlue.

I, frankly, don't really care. Bottom line he's a potential assassin of a presidential candidate and a murderer. Nothing else really matters.

It may not matter to you, but it matters to many on this forum.
 
I've never thought about shooting anyone, but I'm not sure I'd be swayed one way or the other by $15.

(I'm also a tightwad, I've never donated to any political campaigns of causes unless you consider this site)
 
It was a clone of Crooks, who was brainwashed by Galactic overlord Xenu to think he was a progressive, leaving the real Crooks to shoot his hero.
 
Some of his high school classmates said Crooks was bullied at school almost everyday and sat alone at lunch.

It seems the weapon (AR-15) was bought by the father 6+ months ago. It is unclear how the son obtained the weapon.

Bomb making materials were found in his vehicle and at his home.

At the time of his death, Crooks was wearing a "Demolition Ranch" t-shirt. This is a popular YouTube channel dedicated to target shooting with sidearms and assault rifles.

It appears there is more than one Thomas Crooks who could have donated to ActBlue and there some speculation around which one it was.

What do you think?

I think it's too early to know for sure, let alone rank how sure we are.

It's entirely possible for someone to be registered as one party and donate to another, especially if multiple years have passed and their opinions changed.

Sure Joe. You being the guy who has screamed MAGA bad, Trump bad, for years now and you want us to wait for you to give us the ok to start drawing conclusions.

Waiting for sufficient information before jumping to conclusions is just generally a good idea.

Biden saying it doesn't make that any less a good idea, just because of political disagreements.

Besides the fact that this is blatant flaming, do you have an actual issue with the proposed question or did you just step on a LEGO on your way out of bed this morning?

no
 
Well, I got curious a few ago from tweet in other thread, and went to TPS.
For one, no matter how I cut it, I could not get the 2 in OP screenshot to even come up together on a preliminary look up. 🤷‍♂️
(No personal info needed)
Goes alphabetically(earlier initials in there)
-Thomas Crooks PA/Pittsburgh PA/Cranberry Twp PA (or with Thomas A-seems the 69yo MI)
-Thomas Crooks PA/Bethel Park PA (Or with M)

One thing, does show is he's the only one showing in Bethel Park.
 
Other, who cares? He registered as a Republican when he turned 18 and wore a t shirt a right wing gun youtuber sells.
