Criticizing polricirians protecting family wasn't controversial or contrarian before a week ago

Defending somebody who defends Nazi Germany is, though.

I remember PvE being teased by all that story material and tech videos. They... just didn't make it?

Yep. They released a statement that basically said "We don't wanna spend money and time making this, we'd rather do loot boxes."

As somebody who loved Overwatch and played it endlessly with friends... While I've never played 2, the friends I played with have, and they don't like it. It's apparently very different from the original when it comes to how the game is set up.

I've heard that if you like the original Overwatch, it's better to just wait for Marvel Rivals.

Yeah...Im not planning on letting that happen. Not passing her info to the owner. But she still is looking for houses near me.

So, wait.

You brought the house to her attention, and now you're just leading her on?

I told her that the house next to mine was soon going to be put for sale

Sounds like you created your own problem.

Does TC always just drive by with links they haven't even read? It happens too often to not be some kind of dumb gimmick.

Well, the LEDs would burn my hands if I tried to unscrew them when they've been on for awhile.

Are you sure they're LED bulbs, and not CFL bulbs? CFL bulbs get quite hot. LED do not, unless they're in a very enclosed space, and even then it's not likely to burn you.

Hyena_Of_Ice posted...

Also, your comparison isn't a great one since touching either type of bulb can lead to burned hands.

...Uhm.

Unless something else comes out the most likely scenario seems to be him being a fringe nevertrump right wing guy.

Doesn't even necessarily have to be a nevertrumper. There are also right wing lunatics out there that are mad at Trump for apparently not going far enough on certain things.

I like Like a Dragon's reasoning that Ichiban basically just got an actual job in between games and got lazy and rusty due to becoming a salaryman that could help people outside of fighting.

The media is reporting the shooter was a Republican, so yeah, I'd expect them to actually try and move on from this very quickly, since they stand to lose more from the potential bad rhetoric there than they'd gain from trying to make Trump look like a hero to the base who was already voting him, regardless.

Second image almost certainly isn't him, Crooks was 20 while that guy claims to be 26:

And he has vids going back 12 years, where in none does he look like an 8 year old. Mismatch.

The people in those two screenshots don't even look like the same person. Great detective work, internet.

BlazingFireFist posted...

Yeah, could've been a sleeper agent going to MAGA rallies and posing as a Republican under Antifa.

You should stop posting. Friendly advice.

dotsdfe posted...

From what I'm gathering, there are two people named Thomas Matthew Crooks out there. One is a registered Republican (per voter registrations), and one may or may not be an Antifa member (per his social media), and we have no idea which is which.

Is that the general idea? Because I've seen a flurry of accusations on both sides in the literal minutes since his name was confirmed.

To be fair, one of them is literally registered in Pennsylvania, and the other is some random person on the internet people linked to with literally no other context.

...What a weird topic.

[LFAQs-redacted-quote]


You can look up what somebody is registered as. The question isn't what that person is registered as, the question is if that's actually the person, at all.

Silly TC, didn't you know the Post is only to be linked to as a "credible" source here when it's something anti-Biden?

Everything aside, if it does end up a certainty that Trump actually was grazed by a bullet, then yeah, there's no way this was staged in the slightest.

Literally the only thing keeping that conspiracy theory alive is that sources are unsure if he was actually hit or not.

Zero_Destroyer posted...

The person committing the shooting would've been willing to die or risk dying had they been caught since they were outside the perimeter to begin with

Touching on nothing else, did you not see how many people were willing to die for Trump on January 6th?

I hope you lose CE access so I don't have to read your garbage fire posts again.

See? Even when we disagree, we can come together on the important matters.

AdmittedFelon posted...

We don't know what they saw until more information is provided. We know they saw a person. From that far away, they might not have known they had a gun.

I'm just saying, there have been alot of people saying how law enforcement shouldn't shoot everyone they suspect (this is obviously a good thing!), and now people are acting surprised that they didn't shoot someone suspicious.

Your schtick is bad and you should feel bad.

shnangyboos posted...

Anyone thinking Trump staged someone shooting him in the ear is completely broken. What, he's like "just get me in the ear, just make sure not to fuck up the shot because you'll hit me in the face" as he points and winks at him. Get a grip.

What's making people question things is authorities aren't actually sure if he really got hit or not, there's speculation that something else might have caused the injury. Nobody knows anything concrete, other than endless questions about how everything was handled, and thus theories are flying.

DodogamaRayBrst posted...

Including you, ranting about it for many posts to overediting one seeming acknowledgement that it might be real, to then shutting up about it entirely, and then pivoting to keeping the door open that Trump or some other party related to him staged a not-fake shooting against him.

...Why wouldn't I move on, when there is literally no further discussion that can be had, at this point? Do you want me to keep arguing about the same facts that we don't have? Until anything further comes out, nothing else can be said. Everybody said their piece, and we've had no further information to talk about.

Frankly, it feels like everybody else in the topic has moved on with the new facts but you, if you want to dredge up the previous argument.

DodogamaRayBrst posted...

The progression of StealTheSheen posts in this thread are quite the mindwarp to read.

That photo still literally has not been proven to be a photo of a bullet, for the record, and, still, literally nobody else is acknowledging it. Everybody has just moved on, apparently, because the situation is getting crazy, since things like geolocation and TMZ videos are surfacing.

ssb_yunglink2 posted...

I just dont think this will end with the discovery that it was all staged. That might be the one thing that could sink trumps campaign.

If somehow an investigation finds it was staged, i will gladly concede. But immediately calling it staged before anything has come out is not a good thing to do.

Well, so far, if all apparent facts are to be believed, several rally goers literally saw the guy climbing up and getting ready to shoot, and alerted security/authorities, who did nothing. Then, there's a video on TMZ that shows Secret Service snipers apparently literally looking at the shooter, but not doing anything until AFTER he shoots, even while people... Continue to point out the supposed shooter.

Like I said, shit's really weird.

AdmittedFelon posted...

It's also possible that law enforcement has learned that they sometimes get in trouble when they just start shooting at people.

Throwing the hail mary, eh?

ssb_yunglink2 posted...

The amount of people in the 500 topic about the shooting just immediately claiming it was fake boggled my fucking mind

Depends what they mean by fake. If they mean it literally did not happen? Of course it did, that's crazy.

If they mean it may have been staged? That's where things get iffy, since the facts are super, super bizarre, so far.

ssb_yunglink2 posted...

So are the people who were coming at me and calling me a Trumper for not wanting to spread bullshit conspiracies ready to accept this shooting is not fake?

Every fact that comes out makes this even more bizarre, so, no, this is absolutely not something that can be clamed, yet.

EDIT: Well, depends how you define "fake." A shooting happened, yes. How staged or not it was is up to question, since the facts are just so bizarre, currently.

It's very easy to conspiracy theory in either direction, saying either they wanted it to happen, or knew it wouldn't be successful.

Which is why it's dumb to conspiracy theory, in general.

Bat178 posted...

Feels like the Secret Service was hoping he'd succeed.

Or knew he wouldn't.

If the TMZ videos are true, snipers were already looking AT the shooter before he even fires. Which fits with the story of the eye witness saying he saw somebody and alerted authorities, and they didn't do anything.

Shit's getting really weird.

Doe posted...

They'll just say it was a left winger in disguise, which is already the line of much of the right for January 6th. "It was ANTIFA and Feds framing them"

Yeah, but the only people that will work on are people who were... Already gonna vote for Trump, so it doesn't move the needle. At that point, it'd be damage control.

If it's true that the shooter was wearing an alt-right Youtuber shirt, and therefore may have been a disgruntled alt-righter, the Trump team may try to move on from this very quickly.

BDSMKane posted...

Its not a smoke trail or bullet time, its debris picked up on its course; human tissue. The camera also likely was a high end camera taking numerous shots per second; its fairly common to have at a big press event. Thats how they get those perfect high quality facial expressions that they like to run with.

Those are my theories that could explain the picture, but I really dont have any investment in this one.

My question would be why is literally nobody carrying it, if it's real, since it'd be such an amazing photograph. Not even the photographer is acknowledging it.

That's also not to mention that there are questions as to whether Trumps injury actually came from being hit, directly, or glass shrapnel from a teleprompter being hit, which, if it's the latter, there would be no human tissue debris. Also, even if you believe the photo to be real, his wound was on the TOP of his ear, not the bottom, which would make the trajectory of that shot impossible to actually be human tissue.

I remain skeptical, until literally anybody but the NYT says something about it.

EDIT: Like, let's say this photo:
https://static01.nyt.com/images/2024/07/13/world/13trump-shooting-combo/13trump-shooting-combo-superJumbo.jpg?quality=75&auto=webp

Is 1000% real. That still cannot be human tissue debris, because, based on where he was actually hit, that is way too low to be the shot that hit him.

mybbqrules posted...

C'mon people, we've had trumpers posing as antifa inciting violence at the BLM rallies. Is it really that farfetched that a leftist could do the same?

I feel like they'd pick a more blatant tell than a guntuber Youtube channel, if that was actually the case. What makes this believable is how niche of a choice it is.

Diceheist posted...

Wonder what the motive was then, if it's not what many people immediately assumed.

It's very hard to know. When you accelerate crazy, anything can happen.

[LFAQs-redacted-quote]


Now, hold on. Between this, and taking photos with Trump Jr, how can you REALLY say what his political leanings are?!

How do you get the idea that a youtuber who makes a living shooting silly stuff like lego blocks and watermelons with a .50 cal rifle as "alt-right"?

Fin_Dawg_004 posted...

Yes I posted a link to a tweet of a guy posting a photo in the comments of the original tweet, but he is corrected in the replies to his own tweet and accepts it when told it was a direct link to the NYT site.

In the comments in question, the original poster simply says she "Took a screenshot directly of the NYT site," implying she didn't alter the photo, and all the person who posted about the differing photos replies with is "Thank you." Why the different photos existed, in the first place, is never accounted for. The only thing acknowledged is that the NYT site, within the last hour, has the bullet photo. It's never answered why only THEY have the photo, and why literally nobody else, photographer included, is acknowledging it, despite it being a miracle of a photograph, if it really did capture the bullet.

Gobstoppers12 posted...

Which sources?

The earlier post by the NYT, which somebody quoted in a Tweet specifically because the picture did not have the bullet streak in it, and only ended up changing after they replaced the photo. It's literally even referenced in this very topic, and even made Fin, himself, doubt things and admit I may be right, at the time.

The photographer, himself, hasn't acknowledged the photo, despite posting others and being constantly tagged. No other real news source, not even right wing sources, are referencing said photo, remotely, despite the fact that, if it were real, it'd be one hell of a million in one photo.

You don't find that a little bit odd?

Gobstoppers12 posted...

Boy I hope you feel a little silly for being so insistent. Did you learn anything?

The source is literally the same people who posted the photo in the first place, so... No, I don't, since they were the ones being questioned, to begin with. Especially since other sources have the same photo without the trail.

I'm skeptical because the photographer in question, who is being credited, doesn't even have the photo posted on their own social media, nor has he retweeted anybody that has tagged him, despite having other photos posted, and, outside of the NYT themselves, nobody is actually acknowledging the photo. Not even right wing news sources, which you'd think would be all over it. If it IS a real photo, it was very obviously enhanced, in some way. I'm skeptical of even that much, though, since... Again, nobody is reposting it.

Fin_Dawg_004 posted...

So yeah that is the real picture used in the NYT page. It's not photoshopped.

Please provide the source that shows that specific photo is real.

Alteres posted...

You have seen pictures of high speed objects before haven't you?

that is actually what they do.... they just over did it in that one, do you know what exposure time or shutter speed is?

anyway, I'm kinda with #81... militant hostility on any topic is everywhere

Bullets literally do not leave visible smoke trails, which is what you would have to believe, in order for that photo to be real. That's not a "motion" trail, it's a literal smoke trail, and/or believing "bullet time" is real. Furthermore, that clearly wasn't a high speed photograph, which may capture a high speed object in motion, over MULTIPLE photos. It was a single photograph, which we were supposed to believe somehow, by itself, shows the VISIBLE movement trail of a bullet.

Period.

Like, I don't believe I have to say this.

Furthermore, I don't believe I have to keep explaining this, since people keep trying to argue an already proved fake photo is somehow real.

Since some people on here apparently need to know this, I must post a disclaimer that this is a movie, and not real life.
