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.

Why wait? Every LEO at a rally that is not undercover is clearly labeled to keep from getting whacked. No undercovers on rooftops for that reason. No undercovers openly carrying a weapon.
So-— Lapua rounds-— still at that range— balloon meet 22lr effect.
Not like there are any deer in PA. I wonder how many others wore “hunting” clothes to class.
What medications was he taking? Most of these young shooters are taking an anti-psychotic medication. Big Pharma covers up this fact.
According to an unscrubbed site posted by FReeper last night— two of them.. one in Seattle and one in the Portland (No-go Zone of Communist takeover. the burning barricades). This would have been in the Summer Riots before high school graduation which he is said to have graduated in 2022. Could be, for their “bio remake”. But not as a “republican” because he could not have registered before 18 y.o. in PA. ie in the 2020 primaries.
As “they” always do— to make some narrative. When if they considered a caveman hunting— they couldn’t ascribe a US political party to that caveman hunting with a spear. So— yeah, and good point.
I think that was the other guy who had been arrested.
Because somehow libs think it is easier to blame bullies than to fault the bad guy. Boo hoo, lefties get triggered by, “sticks and stones may break my bones but words will never hurt me.” Of course, the easiest solution is don’t go out of your way to garner the bully’s attention. Don’t wear weird dirty clothes. Take a bath. Don’t scream angrily at the top of your lungs at students who never said anything to deserve your outbursts. Try to make a friend. If no one wants to be your friends, the problem is found in the mirror.
Now he’ll be relentlessly bullied in Hell for all of eternity.
You forgot the bomb making supplies in his house and car.
Kids are all the time taking pictures and video, he will appear in many backgrounds.
If any of this is true, we will soon see pictures/video of him in camo taken by classmates.
So far, zilch.
Yes, odd that there wasn’t more damage to his head, if that photo is real.
Perhaps shot in the neck.
But we need to make sure that the “he was bullied” crowd and the “it’s all the violent rhetoric” crowd aren’t able to hide the important facts of this story:
The only good place for an assassin - in fact the PERFECT place for an assassin - was left unguarded.
The shooter knew that place was reserved for him.
The shooter was seen with his rifle and reported to both police and the Secret Service BEFORE he even climbed up on the roof, as well as when he was aiming his rifle.
Snipers on the roof behind Trump had the shooter in their sights for a good 30 seconds before the first shot but failed to fire at him until AFTER he shot at Trump.
This is a CLASSIC set-up for the Secret Service to assassinate Trump using an MK-Ultra victim as the shooter(poor bullied loner who loves to hunt. Most likely he was either on mind-altering drugs also or was hearing voices in his head telling him to do the deed. This is easily achievable with microwave technology).
And it perfectly explains why Joe Biden wasn’t afraid of losing to Donald Trump, no matter how hard his party pressed him. He knew the black ops that were coming up.
And it all would have worked, except that God saved Trump by having him turn his head at just the right time.
These are the critical facts that every person in America should be forced to understand. Every dem who was calling on Biden to drop out needs to understand fully why Biden wouldn’t listen to them. He was planning to use his Presidential control of the Secret Service and black-ops to have Trump assassinated in full view of the whole world.
Yes- how would a then 17 year old get to Seattle and Portland, unaccounted for in Bethel, PA? So likely not. But the ActBlue/BLM donation is from FEC records Bethel, PA. Now a dead 20 year old. And they will try to make a case about.... firearms. When it is not the culture, imho. This guy had no top front teeth (may have been knocked out by the round(s) (entry wound photo not clearly visible, nor the exit which would have to be a skull cavern. Strange, imo.)
No one needs to hunt. That is why we have government insect rations. /s
Just curious . . . what had this kid been doing over the 2 years since graduation?
I’m guessing his whole family was isolated, aloof. Probably congenitally weird.

and the net says.
I always liked when Rush showed all the group think.
bullied loner hasn’t been a fashionable word for a while.
Same profile they use for all of their assets. For some reason, this loner, bullied by classmates, managed to know that a building within firing range of President Trump wasn’t covered by any law enforcement, was allowed to carry a rifle onto the grounds without being spotted, climbed up on top of the building with the rifle, and fired multiple shots? I might have been born at night, but it wasn’t last night folks.
A SWAT team in rural Pennsylvania? Another reason to ask why they waited to shoot the assassin. I could see professional feds waiting for approval, but you would expect local authorities to act BEFORE something bad happens. That’s why they are there in the first place. The chalk-outline guys come after something bad happens.
Trying to say this guy was on meth— how they hooked him for such a foolish, really suicidal “you’ll be famous” act- and this for a kid who apparently did not have any presences on Farcebuch, Insty-gramma or twa—tter. Scrubbed at the very least to ward off any back trails, scrubbed by u NO whoo.
