Seen for the first time since his son attempted to assassinate Trump, Matthew Crooks was pictured at the family home in Bethel Park, Pennsylvania as federal investigators visited Monday morning.

Clearly exhausted, his eyes showing the strain and the trauma of the past few days, Crooks opened the door to several members of the FBI who entered the unassuming brick home shortly before ten o’clock.

It was barely 48 hours since the Crooks family’s world was torn apart with the shocking events of Saturday afternoon when son Thomas Matthew, 20, opened fire on the former president as he addressed a rally of supporters in Butler, Pennsylvania.

I’d like to know what they knew about their son’s mental health.

Most parents do not know what their kids do online. If they stay away from porn, they think their job is done.

The whole “no motive” thing is disturbing as is everyone’s silence. The workplace answer was boilerplate HR with a lawyer thrown in.

“mental health”?

I prefer to know about his son’s depravity and rebellion against God.

“Mental health” is the yardstick of the non-responsible.

The father knows his beliefs were exposed in his son’s action leading to this event and his son’s death.

I do not blame the rather but do believe his grief is intensified by his knowledge of this.

I heard that the parents are both Mental Health Professionals.

They will plead ignorance in regard to their son’s state of mental health

Almost unbelievable, they must be really great at their job if ignoring issues is the scale.

Can’t blame the father for this. He has to live with his son’s actions for the rest of his life.

As a professional, ignoring his kid's issues deserves some level of blame.

There were no “shocking events.” There was an ASSASSINATION attempt.

They'd be telling the truth.

Most "mental health professionals" don't know Jack Sh*t about mental health.
