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.

Perfect for the feds to befriend and guide.
Agree- FRiend. Has the markings, and many here have knowledge of these things.
I’m not reflecting on this guy, but just want to say that persistent bullying really harms a kid. My son is 35 now, but still has residual effects from it...
mostly very low self esteem.
He was probably under an alias on social media. No word on whether his phone and computer were destroyed. Most mass shooters do that which is really odd unless they are trying to hide the identity of the people they are chatting with.
His parents are Democrats and the Father supposedly bought the gun for the son/shooter.
He did not do this in isolation. he was egged on, and we will never all the who and how.
but the media had a part.
that does not mean media in and of itself is evil, it is how it is used.
In the 1960s he would have been in a state mental hospital. The left saw to it that those places were closed. It’s part of their long term plan
I’m still not certain what he wore to class.
Xiden “knew” this because the people running him KNEW this as organizers. Speaking of the mack daddy muzzie Marxist FPOTUS obamaumao the first. Who speaks in continuous riddler type dualities created in his mind and by... his handlers in chi-com land (in house, embeds and true muzzie believers. See: Brennan particularly).
When will the world be told that the shooter was transitioning and he/she/it was taunted and ridiculed because of it.
Obviously, he wasn’t bullied enough.
But, but, but…he was a “registered Republican.”
35 miles N of Pittsburgh-— these days is not that rural. Though the event was held as Butler, PA Farm Park.
The manufacturing company roof from which shots were made— a company called Agrinternational. on the google map a dead website link. Farming gear company? Like AgFab is in the South?
He probably provided a manifesto that we will never be allowed to see.
“The exact psychological profile the Deep State ALWAYS uses.”
Exactly.
Oh yes. Bullying definitely has bad, bad effects.
What makes me sick is that the Deep State creeps single out these kids to use as their violent operatives, because their minds are vulnerable to the techniques used in order to brainwash someone into committing acts of violence.
These kids/people have already suffered so much, so what do the Deep State jerkwads do? They exploit even that terrible pain. Like Fauci exploited and abused puppies. Like abortionists exploit unwanted babies to sell them for parts.
It is EVIL. Just plain, stinking EVIL.
That is the war we are in. We are up against the minions of HELL. Anybody who is not sick to their stomach at seeing all this crap is hostage to Hell right now. And those who are Christians need to repent of letting all this stuff slip by as if it wasn’t worth truly, truly fighting over. Between this, the sexual mutilation of children, and the exploitation of innocent children through sex trafficking and selling of body parts... if we can’t roust up enough care to stand up and fight, then we are deader inwardly than this shooter is physically.
No regular SS snipers on Trump’s detail?
skinny little twerp wanted to go out with a bang. Jealousy makes people do crazy shit.
“this will be waay better than a school shooting!”
Terrible thing to have. The efforts of the real original Boy Scouts was to build future men, so the bullying that might occur therein, could be dealt with swiftly and representing for the young man. But the Left infiltrated this great organization and made paedophiles within their leadership- to break up all the good they had done for the decades since Lord Baden Powell. Hope he has recovered but you are correct- it is exploited on people.
