They probably had some inkling of what was going on in their son’s warped mind. Not necessarily any specifics, just that his actions bode not well.

Same story multiple times...

So, same post multiple times...

Why would the parents be concerned that their son was missing? They know that he was up to something, and missing is not what they were concerned about.

No doubt, the parents were not Trump supporters, and their conversations at home are part of what ‘triggered’ their son to try to take Trump out. At 20, the son was mostly naive, and most of what he knows about life and politics comes from those around him, most specifically his parents. The son got his idea from his parents, and they knew ye was taking shooting classes with the dad’s rifle.

They’re not directly saying it, but they know what he was up to, and it wasn’t that he was missing.

this could be as simple as the guy is on heavy meds because he is mentally ill. If your schizo son goes missing and he hasnt taken his meds you will be worried about what is going to happen.

They called police but did they make calls to Crook’s cell phone? That should be easily determined from phone records.

Another article said there were Trump signs in the parent's front yard.

The incompetence of law enforcement is mind boggling.

Either hasn't taken his meds or is on a new one. Wonder how many times the parents called him and got no answer before they called 911.

No responsible parent allows a schizo son use the dad's rifle to go take shooting lessons. So, not that simple. There was a lot more going on.

Having Trump signs in a front yard isn’t a sign of who their son was for.

Was that b3efore or after the shooting? It would be a 'cya' form of 'support', after the fact.

Nevertheless, where would he son get the idea to go shoot the president? The news is not enough to get somebody deranged enough to go kill a president. There's a lot more to be learned.

So let me see if I’ve got this.

They knew the kid was likely to do something like what he did because his own parents warned them.

They knew there was an open-air Trump rally coming up.

They did not intervene and they did not secure the best vantage point you could have to do what he did.

What am I supposed to conclude from that?

NONE! Unless they are truly that oblivious they had no idea their son’s mental state, that he was making IEDs in the house, they never spoke and heard any odd language...I have ZERO sympathy for the Columbine killers either. For instance, when my teenage was living in the main house, I stuck my head in his bedroom several times a week, with the auspices of checking in, looking for something, I need something in your closet, etc. AND, that was all with him being a perfect Chad, church attending, great grades, athlete, etc. These folks really had NO IDEA their son had ANY issues? I don’t buy it. They knew he was messed up and they said nothing until it was too late. I’ll speculate further, they may have been accomplices, and perceive their son to be a hero, AKA the hamas and their brave, raping, murdering or suicide vest wearing sons. I apologize in advance if that is all false.
