A 2022 high school year book photo has been released of the Trump attempted assassin suspect Thomas Matthew Cooks.

Cooks is accused of trying to kill Trump but missing by an inch and instead killing a rally attendee and critically injuring others.

He looks like he’s missing a chromosome.

[bgill]

Yes, he lived in a nice house with lefty mommy and daddy who claim cluelessness to his activities. He used daddy’s rifle but daddy is still trying to figure out things before giving a full interview which probably means they’re lawyer hunting.

So, a smiling kid wearing a pro-American t-shirt just two years ago is the guy they say shot Trump? No wonder there are conspiracy theories!

[Magnum44]

Maybe, but I’m not finding any sympathy for the shooter in this case. My gut impression is he was an antifa type communist nut job. I want to know if he lived with parents and, if so, what influence they had on this lunatic.

[Magnum44]

Does your comment have source? Thanks

[TheDon]

It does confirm no bombs were found at least...

[Hattie]

The shooter didn’t miss; Trump was saved by a miracle when the Lord turned his head. Thankfully. Prayers up for Trump.

[Ann Archy]

Is that REALLY the KILLER? He sure had grown VERY LONG hair in a couple of years!!

[Leep]

He had help.

Did Hillary hold the shooter’s ladder?

[Lazamataz]

On the leftist fringe sites, they are already calling him patriotic and mourning that he missed.

These are the people I want to meet in person.

[napscoordinator]

Unfortunately, he’s a registered republican. That’s all over the media.

[NorthMountain]

I’m not motivated by sympathy for the perp, whoever he may be, but by extreme distrust of the authorities.

[neverevergiveup]

How does a child in high school go from that to the kind of hatred that leads one to be a premeditated killer? Our society, and by that I mean the media, political left, and the ‘entertainment’ industry have bred hatred and it’s affecting our children. Without a doubt.

[bgill]

Well, well, well. The school allowed Black Rock to film.

[bgill]

Bingo.

[Magnum44]

Interesting. As his profile builds, he seems like a closet weirdo. I knew a nut like that in highschool. Wanted to be popular but was just creepy and literally unsafe. Quite in school. Always something goofy to say. Showed up at my house one day wanting to show me the Ak-47 in his trunk. Proceeded to waive it around like it was cool or something. I told him to put it away and he needed to leave as I was ‘busy’. Even at 17 I could spot a future psycho when I saw one.

It would be nice to see other pictures. If the press has 99 pictures that do not tell their story, and one picture that does, you know what picture they will share with the American public.

[Magnum44]

Distrust and verify. I’m ok with that. I just don’t agree with everything being a conspiracy without the evidence.

[bgill]

Mmm, mmm, mmm, Obama promised to change America so why can’t this freak wear the t-shirt.

[Steve_Seattle]

The kid in the pic is also wearing a patriotic t-shirt and appears to be wearing glasses. He is smiling and doesn't look like someone who - just two years later - would try to shoot Trump or anyone else. And they also say he is a "registered Republican" whose only known political contribution was to a left-wing cause!

Roger Stone has stuck his neck out and claimed that another guy is really the shooter (I forget his name at the moment). This other guy was arrested in Pittsburgh a year or two ago for disrupting a Trump rally, and he looks a LOT like the guy in the photo of the dead shooter. So, this is all getting crazy.
