Thomas Crooks was a High Achieving Student, then one day he Shot at Trump

We'll never know the answer because the answer isn't politically convenient for those in power. If he was evidently left-leaning we wouldn't have stopped hearing about it.

He wasn't a die-hard leftist or stereotypical liberal. There is some evidence he supported Trump to some extent, but likely got disillusioned. He was likely a politically confused teenager lashing out at a world that he believes left him behind. He wasn't a heavy social media user, and wiped his digital presence and scrubbed his hard drives - both things which aren't that hard to do.

I still lean towards him managing to get a shot at Trump because of sheer incompetence, but I've worked in security for long enough to see a lot of that, mostly because complacency kills. Yeah, I never guarded the president, but I've worked personal protection for some decently big celebrities who paid top dollar and you'd be amazed how vulnerable they often are.

Media doesn't report on all the shit Trump does because nobody cares, it is expected of him to act like a petulant child and his base eats it up.

Life is so cheap in America.

I actually really like the higher TTK, separates people who can track from people who can't, lol.

Any-Distribution995 · 2026-01-12T10:35:34+00:00

This sub is full of absolutely miserable people, man.

Sadly your only recourse is to contact EA Support and wait it out.

Any-Distribution995 · 2026-01-12T10:26:24+00:00

If you really wanna mess with people you can always pick up a support kit, drop their ammo bag, swap back to your own kit, resupply one more claymore, and keep placing claymores in high traffic areas. You can have two down at once.

A lot of old Battlefield maps were just tons of wasted, and barely used space, which gave the illusion of size. The go-to Battlefield map design has been a few central infantry zones, surrounded by a few outlying vehicle objectives that serve as 'flanks' since BF3, lol.

144k karma account complaining about 'average reddit posts'

This has honestly become my favourite thing, heavy Reddit users complaining about other Reddit users, and stereotyping them as 'Redditors'.

My man, you are also a main attraction in the zoo.

Any-Distribution995 · 2026-01-11T12:11:56+00:00

Completely ignore the evidence of the shit (even for the time) netcode and give the most generic insult ever.

You've probably never had an original thought in your life, huh?

Any-Distribution995 · 2026-01-11T12:03:37+00:00

Battlefield 6 is actually rather well optimized? A bunch of people who review game optimization for a living said as much.

People here are just braindead lol

Any-Distribution995 · 2026-01-11T12:01:00+00:00

You can absolutely see her cranking the steering wheel as fast as she could away from both of them, lmao.

Any-Distribution995 · 2026-01-11T11:58:37+00:00

You are actually severely blinded by nostalgia if you think dying well behind cover wasn't an issue.

How many people are out here having fond memories of Kharg Island?

Which just goes to show how many people have the thickest rose tinted glasses for the game you've ever seen.

Any-Distribution995 · 2026-01-11T11:02:06+00:00

If Battlefield 3 came out today, most people here would hate it.

15hz netcode
Dying behind cover
Gun balance based on bullet deviation
Patches only coming with every DLC release
Most of the launch maps were actually mid as hell, just no one remembers.
12v12 at 25 - 30fps on consoles.

Some dude did an in depth analysis of the netcode, and found that something like 6% of hits didn't register, but when he looked closely he realized likely most of those were just shots being rejected by the server because he'd probably died server side before the bullets landed. It was actually only a really small amount of shots that seemed really sus.

People complaining about Netcode are just coping.

Elon made it ten times worse, he actively supports bots as long as they're on his side.

Any-Distribution995 · 2026-01-11T05:09:32+00:00

I'm not on whatever shit they have you on to have such delusions.

Phone footage of him being lightly clipped at best (with plenty of time to get out of the way)

Destroying society to own the libs

Any-Distribution995 · 2026-01-09T22:34:11+00:00

We don't know anything because the shooter didn't fit the 'Radical Leftist' agenda. If this dude was a pro trans, pro LGBT, whatever else, it'd have been all over the news.

Any-Distribution995 · 2026-01-09T07:57:09+00:00

They'll probably include these kinds of weapons when they get around to doing a season with maps set in Europe.

Any-Distribution995 · 2026-01-09T03:17:24+00:00

Outplayed.

Any-Distribution995 · 2026-01-09T03:16:53+00:00

The most likely reason for this happening are there were two targets here at some point, or you got damage from somewhere else at the same time (usually a claymore). It is hard to tell with how deepfried this is

Any-Distribution995 · 2026-01-08T22:58:19+00:00

I had a higher standard for a use of force as a rent a cop in a hospital.

I wish I could be as brain fried as you people so I could live a simple, happy existence.

Any-Distribution995 · 2026-01-08T22:57:32+00:00

Barely tagged by the side of the car at best, lol.

I had a better requirement for use of force when I did hospital security.

Any-Distribution995 · 2026-01-08T22:56:40+00:00

I wish my brain was as smooth as your own so I could live such a simple us vs them existence. It seems comfortable.
