The intelligence services are highly skilled at “picking” and grooming “kids” for their purposes.
They have been honing their skills since before you were born.
Something pointed to Crooks as someone they could work with. And so they did!
Yeah, according to this classmate he viscerally hated *ALL* politicians. They could have groomed him for any attempt, from Trump all the way to Jill, or anyone that steps near.

Maybe this kid was sent in as sacrificial "bait" to be killed on the spot thus ending the investigation while the real (second) shooter got away.
Sounds far-fetched, I know, but some solid people are conjecturing this.
Trump Attack ORCHESTRATED? INTENTIONAL Failures; SECOND Sho*ter? Secret Service in TROUBLE
Robert Gouveia Esq.
My thoughts exactly.
For a job like this they pick the neighborhood nerd?
Perhaps “they” would pick this kid, if the plan involved a second more professional shooter, to cover up his involvement.
Perhaps the kid got lucky and fired considerably closer to target than handlers were expecting, or the pro missed and never got off another shot.
In that scenario, handlers figured kid would be way off target and if he hit anything, well it would likely be a Trump supporter or two (as he did).
But yes, I agree, the kid as lone gunman makes no sense, if you’re going to try to kill. Kid as lone gunman makes sense if your objective is simply to intimidate or create a fear of attending future events?
I am only speculating about plots because of rat er disturbing circumstantial evidence of a plot (change of security, failure to follow normal procedures, letting the kid stay on roof with Trump on stage — it all screams out organized plot, surely).
Does anyone have any theories about location of second shooter? Where’s the “grassy knoll” in this kill zone? And did the second shooter act, or abort at last second? I am no ballistics expert; how much training would a kid need to fire off shots as accurate as those witnessed?
I’ve read considered opinions that Lee harvey Oswald had enough demonstrated skill to hit Kennedy from book depository window, and no second gunman is needed to explain outcome, but a second gunman had to fire one of non-lethal shots known to have happened (to avoid magic bullet theory). But did this kid have any realistic chance to kill Trump? And even if so, would any conspirators believe he could do it?
It’s a murky combination of odd coincidences and outright inexcusable incompetence suggesting planning and a desired outcome. Killing Donald Trump would predictably have stirred up a national crisis of election-cancelling proportions, declaration of a state of emergency, martial law, etc etc.
America was perhaps within a foot or half second of that outcome — a sobering thought indeed.
And are they done? Or will they try again?
“would ‘they’ Pick this kid?”
My not altogether unreasonable or paranoid given our alphabet agencies’ history suspicions about Matthew Crooks.
FBI knew him. He got caught with Bomb making material, some random post came up on FBI’S new and improved AI-augmented “Carnivore” and they had a little discussion with him about his options.
Choice A- His life, his family’s life destroyed by home invasion, media circus, he goes to prison for decades where he’s passed around as “fresh meat” - a new sex toy - for lifers in exchange for a few smokes, OR,
Choice B- he does this thing for them , dies, but saves his family from the horror of IRS, FBI, DHS investigation, bankruptcy, more.
Tough choice?
