Right-wing political commentator Tim Pool said his home was subject to a late-night gunfire attack on Dec. 5. He was met with support from others in his political sphere after the incident, including Marjorie Taylor Greene and Megyn Kelly.
Pool’s clashes with the Martinsburg skate park set began in August 2023, when its organizers announced plans for a party to celebrate the park’s 10th anniversary.
Pool, without consulting the organizers of the Martinsburg event, announced on Instagram that he would offer $20,000 in prize money for the event. Loathe to associate with Pool’s politics, some skaters posted on Instagram that Pool wasn’t invited to the event and would be removed if he showed up.
“It wasn’t even like we were leftist or anything,” Amos said. “We didn’t want to be associated with that hateful stuff.”
Amid opposition from the skaters, Pool dropped his plans to offer the prize. But a few months later in November 2023, he quietly bought the skate park’s land, purchasing the slab and a nearby building through a limited liability company for $850,000.
“They don’t own the spot,” Pool later said on his show in July 2024, explaining the purchase. “By what right do they have to tell me I can’t stand on a derelict piece of property where they’re squatting?”
100% he’s probably one of those annyoying neighbours that wants to do whatever he wants without considering the impact on people around him.
Oh he 100% knows/tries to piss off those around him
