The guy is an attempted murderer so I'm not going to try to hard to defend his privacy but I'm blown away by the amount of information in that image and reminded of our collective lack of privacy. 


I watched a YouTube video of some guy who said he could find out your exact location just by looking at a photograph. He demonstrated how to do this on the video. He found out where a woman was located right down to the street in less than 15 minutes using google earth and a couple other programs. 
 

He demonstrated this to warn people not to post personal pictures of yourself outside on your social media as there are people who can locate you if they wanted to.

Is it democracy when a sitting president incites an angry crowd to march to the capital and stop the peaceful transition of power that is a result of a free and fair election? Democracy was what the people holed up in the Capitol were doing, until they had to hide from Trump's people who'd have killed them if they could. THAT is why there is division.

 

So advocating for the assassination of a president is democracy?

 

People know all that, if they don't like it they can vote for someone else.  

 

Stunning how many believe that it's ok to kill a politicial opponent regardless of affiliation.

Thomas Matthew Crooks’ parents were behavioral counselors while their son shot at former President Donald Trump due to mental issues
 

Thomas Matthew Crooks’ parents were registered Democrats, while he was a Republican.

 

The recent havoc caused by Thomas Matthew Crooks has highlighted his upbringing, as such hatred in a 20-year-old was abnormal.

 

Thomas Matthew Crooks was born in September 2003 to his parents’ mother, Mary Elizabeth, and father, Matthew Brian Crooks, in Bethel Park, Pennsylvania.

 

His father, Matthew, 53, is a psychologist and counselor registered as a Democrat. Sources say he has authored many academic books and earns an annual salary of $310,000.

 

When asked about the recent scenario regarding his son, Matthew replied that he needed time to process everything and would wait for law enforcement before commenting further about his son.

 

On the other hand, there is some confusion regarding his mother, Mary. Some believe that she is a housewife who taught in a primary school, while others claim she is a behavioral counselor. The authentication of this information is still pending.

 

As for politics, Mary is also a registered Democrat, but surprisingly, voter ID showed that Thomas was a Republican, different from his parents.

Yet, in 2021, he donated $15 to Act Blue, a political committee for Democratic candidates. 

 

Also, recently, a video of him saying, “I hate Republicans,” went viral on Twitter, making people confused about his political stance.

  I don't think so but what about inciting an angry crowd to march to the capital and stop the peaceful transition of power that is a result of a free and fair election?

Why do you think we need this info on the parents?

Who has been an advocate for the assassination of a politician? Not me. Not WarHippy. Not Heffy. Not Gurn. Not Stawns. Not Rupert. Who? Name names.

Again, who? Name them. I'll wait. 

 

And admitting you are stunned is the first step to recovery.

Many people have said they would have liked that bullet to kill Trump.  Again if you think that's OK you have an internal issues to deal with.  This isn't how we deal with things in a first world country regardless of affiliation.

Can you do a quick mental estimate of how many did and how many did not and post accordingly without painting all with the same brush?

It is possible to prefer a given outcome without agreeing with the method used to produce it.

There's one name for you curmudgeon.  Hoping for political executions is morally wrong.

So the son apparently gets bullied, and his psychologist Dad doesn't know anything about it?

Did his son not talk to his parents?

It's quite common for kids not to talk to their parents.
