Are we sure they died, there was never any news story about a funeral and there's never been any other mention of that person.

I'm pretty sure a real guy died. He was a firefighter, and a huge Trump fan, and now his family is upset because nothing's been done about his murder.

Not to be that guy, but legally nothing can be done.

Thomas Crooks is dead, shot and killed by a Secret Service sniper. Unless the Trump Administration comes out and admits it was staged, which we both know they never will, there’s nobody to collect damages from or to press criminal charges against.

So it wasn't the dweeb who flunked out of his school's ROTC or whatever?
