There was a report on TV that the shooter donated $15 to a left leaning organization.

[Stinky The Clown]

I heard it a few times.

Then I read here the donation was by a guy in his 60s with the same name, Anyone know the facts?

[WarGamer]

1. same address as the shooter... maybe the father?

Maybe Dad was a Democrat? Kid was a rebel??

[Rorey]

6. His dad is a Libertarian

I've read that he has the same name, but I'm not swearing to it.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

11. His father is Matthew Crooks and he gave his first name as a middle name for his son. . . . nt

[Rorey]

13. Yes, you're correct

Thanks

[Polybius]

8. According to reports, they had different first names

So can't be the dad.

[H2O Man]

2. I'd listen

to law enforcement.

[elleng]

3. Heard/read there are/were 2 with same name in the area,

so obviously confusion prevails.

[Freddie]

4. Same name as the shooter

Different guy.

[Polybius]

9. Not true

Major news outlets are still sticking to the story.

[Kingofalldems]

20. He's a republican.

[Polybius]

21. Did you misread?

I was responding to the poster about the donation. That's twice now.

5. I hear same thing, guess which part maga media will latch onto.

Not that he's a registered republican, but some guy with same name donated $15 to some liberal cause.

Oh, and if rush was still alive, he would be calling the shooter a 'leftist'.

That is all.

[Rorey]

7. The donation was made before he was old enough to vote

When he was old enough, he registered as an "R"

[Bernardo de La Paz]

10. Shooter Thomas Matthew Crooks is not donor Thomas Crooks (no middle name). Lives in same area. . . . nt

[AkFemDem]

16. In the same house....

[LeftInTX]

17. Thomas Crooks has the same address as Thomas Matthew Crooks.

There is only one 2506 Milford Dr in Allegheny County.
His father is only 43.

The other Thomas Crooks is at a different address.

12. .

[chowder66]

14. See this thread, it has the documents

Same address. There is a better image of the address elsewhere but I can't find it. I think it was posted on DU. The street address on that image (I can't find) is sort of marked out but you can see that it's most likely the same as on the actblue donation filing.

22. TY.. Good info!

[MaryMagdaline]

15. I donate through Act Blue, mostly for specific candidates.

Maybe a local politician got him to pledge $15.00?

[LeftInTX]

19. Yeah...or he saw something catchy online. Bernie got alot of donations that day due to his mittens.

It was to a "Progressive Turnout Project PAC". He hasn't made any donations since. It's a nothing burger.

[Kingofalldems]

18. I see they are working hard to declare this guy a liberal.

Big time.
