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.

The killed Trump supporter was Volunteer Fire Chief Corey Imperatori (spelling prob incorrect). Will find the link to that article, plus the Post has a video of the "shooter" firing- got locked out paywall in the 3 times re-accessing this article. We need to support this victim of a lunatic, loner punk who was a member online of youtub's "Demolition Ranch" and wore a 29.95 T-shirt when shot (imho not by Secret Service but by someone local behind him. The SS snipers vests just say police- and they had 50 cal Barretts- one shot would not have left a head. An observation which am willing to hear others opinions on. Not explosive shells one would thing- but 50 cal at that close range- kinetic impact into the human head.....well.)

They seem to think this is very important.

Same song, different verse.

The exact psychological profile the Deep State ALWAYS uses.

What were useless police officers doing on the ground while ignoring the high rooftop? Why didn’t the police on the ground alert the SS?

Too many simple and easy questions, b.s. answers.

We will never have coherent answers. That is my prediction.

So, a stereotypical “moody loner with handguns” type, except with a rifle.

I suspected the punk was bullied relentlessly. He was definitely homely, likely died a virgin. Hard to tell in the grainy photos, but it almost looks like he has a scar from cleft palate repair.

Speculation was that he was a ‘registered Republican’ so that he could vote against Trump in the primary.

They look like AR10s, most likely .308.

This fits the antifa type profile.

IOW no way they would be as good as SS pros or even fibbies who were promiently marched in to rooftops the morning of Jan 6th, 2021 for the fake riots there.

Noticed bigtime tattoos on the left rooftop sniper- not unusual for that generation.

This is interesting...

Here is everything we know about the shooter who tried to take out Donald Trump: "The only 20 year old on Earth without social media"

...explains the delay, waiting for a green light to take him down.

That part of PA is very rural. That doesn’t surprise me, but they want to make it seem like hunting is a specifically right-wing activity.

Which makes sense from what we KNOW happened in the primaries running up to 2020 national. Yes— lots of quickie crossovers paid to vote that way and in the national. See: Philly voter fraud hearings with Giuliani (videos hours long with the blond wigged councilwomen sneering “we ain’t messsin’ wid-jouuu” black ostensible woman).
