Thomas Matthew Crooks, the suspectin Saturday’s shooting, was registered as a Republican voter, according to Pennsylvania records.

Already the republicans are dismissing his voter registration as meaningless. Here comes the “mental illness” angle.

Edit: apparently it’s not uncommon to register with the party you oppose in PA. This is going to be a fun ride.

      17 year olds, supposedly. (I can’t verify the three years ago, so grain of salt.)

      This doesn’t really make sense and we might just have to wait for actual details from the investigation.

        Some people are saying $10, which is a lot more to a kid than to an adult. But kids can afford $10.

        EDIT: $15 to more reliable sources. Still in the rough ballpark tho
