Quoted link said it will return airing on Tuesday. So does their Twitter/X:This is interesting. MSNBC was afraid that their hosts would be "inappropriate". I wonder when, or if they will be allowed back on...
'Morning Joe' pulled from air to avoid inappropriate Trump shooting remarks, CNN reports
Hosts of the left-leaning program often engage in critical discussions of Trump and his actions.khqa.com
He sounded like a great guy who protected his family from getting hurt/killed in exchange for himself. It's just so sad this whole thing ever happened.
The distance between the Crooks’ home and the rally site is over 50 miles, so I’m sure no one knew him.

Good point.
Maybe I misread but it seemed like the thread you were responding too was speaking generally and one user did mention red flags when buying ammo.
I thought I had heard he donated to the Republicans, but in any event I get the feeling this really wasn’t even about politics per se or a hatred of Trump but more of gaining notoriety for taking out (or trying to take out) a very polarizing celebrity. I could be wrong but from what little I’ve gathered he doesn’t really seem someone who did this for some vengeance against Trump or the Republican Party. MOO

Three snipers were stationed inside building used in Trump assassination attempt
There were three snipers stationed inside the building the shooter used during Saturday's shooting of former President Donald Trump, a local law enforcement officer with direct knowledge of the incident tells CBS News.
The operations plan had them stationed inside the building looking out windows toward the Trump rally. The information about the three snipers being inside the building was first reported by BeaverCountian.com.
One of the snipers inside saw Thomas Matthew Crooks outside and looking up at the roof, observing the building and disappearing, a local law enforcement officer tells CBS News.
Crooks came back, sat down and looked at his phone. At that point, one of the snipers took a picture of him. Crooks took out a rangefinder and the sniper radioed to the command post. Crooks disappeared again and then came back a third time with a backpack. The snipers called in with information that he had a backpack and said he was walking towards the back of the building.
Officers believe that Crooks might have used an air conditioning unit to get on top of the roof.
By the time other officers came for backup, he had climbed on top of the building and was positioned above and behind the snipers inside the building, the officer said.
Two other officers who heard the sniper's call tried to get onto the roof. State police started rushing to the scene, but by that time, a Secret Service sniper had already killed Crooks, the officer said, adding that Crooks had an improvised explosive device in his pocket, in addition to explosive materials in his car.
Live updates: Trump rally shooter's motive still unclear as Biden urges calm
"The political rhetoric in this country has gotten very heated. It's time to cool it down. We all have a responsibility to do that," President Biden said.www.cbsnews.com
This isn’t a place where an infamous crime happened, so I don’t see that happening. It’s not like going to see the Watts house, or some other infamous location.
I imagine protocol is to communicate with officers on the ground, as opposed to leaving their post. They have a specific role, and they everyone else has theirs.
I think his concern was that since it’s unknown if TC targeted Trump with a political motive, that people may think the neighborhood is full of trump haters and someone will retaliate. It’s a modest suburban neighborhood. There is a perception in Pittsburgh that the South Hills is liberal.
