    Sam Hyde can't keep getting away with this!!!
  • WHY does the media and you.. continue to use a whimpy picture of a 14 year old??? He was a 20 year old man with a beard. Trying to imply he was a frail and vulnerable youngster?

  • Question was the donation of $15 made by him or an adult in another state with the same name different middle initial?????????
  • @LuciusKyrus
    Can anyone find pictures online of the shooter with long hair? Every photo of him has short hair. The shooter has long hair. Crooks graduated high school with very short hair in 2022. My hair grows very fast, but not that fast. That seems fishy.
  • The guy with the video says he hates Republicans and Trump but you have the wrong man
  • @12larrykathy
    Crooks looked nothing like the photo you are using. why not show what he looks like now not years ago.
