That's Thomas Matthew Crooks on the right. It's wild how easily I forgot that at least 2 people have tried to assassinate him.
Which was the first one?
This guy was on a roof and shot his ear.
The second attempt would be from Ryan Routh, NATO obsessed guy who loved Biden and Ukraine and could summon 10,000 volunteer soldiers he recruited to help Ukraine, if only he got to charge his ult.
how in the ever loving fuck did I not hear about Ryan Routh. that should have been everywhere
2 people so far….
Yeah, I was sure to phrase it "at least", because who knows if there's been other attempts that we don't know about or have been foiled before they got the chance to.
Why would you remember him?
None of the spaces on the left are set up to keep anything like this topical. Even this post is only because of Rosie which is from this week. Next week you'll forget about both.
Have you seen the latest moth Sheeran post though 🔥🔥🔥
How'd that happen? The Internet was fairly left up until recently.
Bluesky? I run in some circles over there but it stays pretty sanitized. I would dare call it insufferably sane-posting
First of all, I'm not even American. Should I really have to remember shitty assassins like John Wilkes Booth? I bet you don't know who destroyed my nations fleet during the Napoleonic Wars. I've given you enough clues though.. Secondly, don't you think the left was just as interested in the very close assassination attempt at the leader that is now black bagging civilians off the street?
