The 20-year-old man who attempted to assassinate Donald Trump at a rally in Pennsylvania Saturday was described by former classmates as a bullied loner with a penchant for hunting outfits and video games.

Thomas Matthew Crooks was killed by the Secret Service on Saturday evening after he opened fire at the Butler Farm Show grounds, grazing Trump and killing another attendee.

Crooks – who graduated from Bethel Park High School in 2022 – was a loner who was “relentlessly” bullied, former classmate Jason Kohler told KDKA. He was known for wearing “‘hunting’” outfits to class, Kohler added.

The classmate also provided the outlet with two photos of Crooks that were taken during his high school years – including one that showed the future would-be assassin sitting at a desk in a Bethel Park sweatshirt. He was known for wearing “‘hunting’” outfits to class, Kohler added.

Adderall is pretty harmless. Likely a cocktail of anti-depressants and anti-anxiety meds. Throw some Weed on that and boom goes the dynamite. The fact there is no mention of college is odd for a kid who got a scholarship. Toss in some 4-chan chatter telling him to “Do it. Do it.”

I was curious about that as well. The flat nose combined with the middle part of the lip.

Just leave the loner kids alone until they grow out of the awkward teenage years.

As someone who was bullied in school, I have a different take. Were I running a school, there would be cameras everywhere and I would come down like the FIST OF GOD on any bullies. Many bullied kids are physically incapable of fighting back. The bullies are nearly always bigger and older. They target certain kids because they’re cowards and want victory to be a sure thing. God help them if I was running a school.

Mayorkas is in no way Greek!

From Wikipedia:

.......His father, Charles R. “Nicky” Mayorkas, was born in Cuba. He was a Cuban Jew of Sephardi (from the former Ottoman Empire, present-day Turkey and Greece) and Ashkenazi (from Poland) background. He owned and operated a steel wool factory on the outskirts of Havana.[16][18][19][20] Nicky Mayorkas studied economics at Dartmouth College.[20]

His mother, Anita (Gabor),[20] was a Romanian Jew whose family escaped the Holocaust and fled to Cuba in the 1940s[21][22][23] before leaving for the United States after the Cuban Revolution.[21].......

OK Sephardic Greek Jew-”ish” Communist. That really would fit his behaviour. Thanks, FRiend. He ever goes to Greece they’d take him out quickly— Greece does not forget, they definitely don’t forget Nazis or Commies. Been through a lot.
