Common thread is unsecured weapons and or parents who know that their over medicated reject kid is a weirdo and allow them access to firearms. Let’s not forget those on the “lists” of the “known of” by the fibbies. The DNC will downplay the assassination attack and shift to anti-2A mode.

I saw an interview of his classmate. He said the shooter was bullied, every single day.

It makes sense if the young man scrubbed all his social before acting out but forgot the Discord.

Western PA is a relatively low cost area.

This house is probably below average quality in its community.

The parents, both college educated, had a son who was winning math scholarships but skipped college to fix meals in an old age home. They knew something was off with their son and most likely had him on SSRI drugs.

This will be another instance of a shooting by a young person with no previous violent incidents, where all reasons will investigated except for the use of the untouchable SSRI.

Speaking to CNN in the immediate aftermath of his son’s identification,


Why CNN?

“Father is a shrink. Mother is social worker. So, yes; they’re nuts.”

There was an almost identical situation in our neighborhood years ago with the parents’ having similar jobs. Their kid was a real hellian. The parents were in total denial.

Accomplices or not.
Prior knowledge?
Coverup?
Lack of questions to son despite suspicions?
Why do you need a ladder?

Answer those, parents, and then the “world broken apart” stuff unless you are in a holding cell by then.

Both sides find this controversial——
Apr 9, 2024 — Jennifer and James Crumbley, the first parents convicted in a U.S. mass school shooting, were sentenced to at least 10 years in prison.

This story isn’t going away despite gun rights, parents’ blame or not and other issues:

That’s not what you claimed - you said the father of Crooks gave him the gun.

this one apparently had a clean record

It was documented that he was a troubled kid. He needed help, obviously.

Obviously you are a fellow professional, what were the kid's issues?

It's been all over TV, the kid was bullied because he was odd, the kids called him "the school shooter", listen to the news.

https://www.tmz.com/2024/07/16/thomas-matthew-crooks-nicknamed-school-shooter-before-trump-attack/ As Julianna told The New York Times ... Thomas was labeled "the school shooter" by his fellow students -- who apparently often teased him for his poor hygiene and body odor.

I don’t think that would have any legal weight. His classmates have already said he was a loner and bullied. There are lots of kids now who present in ways that probably make their classmates say such things. If there was proof that he actually had threatened to kill someone, that would be another matter.

The American intelligence agencies have gotten their British counterparts to spread the “lone nut” narrative through a MI-6 asset, the Daily Mail, which is thought to be more credible by conservative Americans than the legacy media. The “Five Eyes” are working overtime.
