A Hispanic ex-classmate of shooter Thomas Matthew Crooks said he insinuated he was stupid for supporting former President Donald Trump in an interview with Fox News Digital.
Vincent Taormina told the outlet that Crooks, 20, was “passionate” about politics but hated “all” politicians.
“He just did not like politicians, especially with the choices that we’ve had. He did not like our politicians,” Taormina said.
He said in 2016 — when Crooks would have been about 16 years old — that he “disliked all of them.”

That’s an Italian last name- possibly via South America, which would make him “hispanic.”
Yes, an implication that minorities should never vote for Trump.
Pronouns are not our friends, especially in headlines.
The shooter apparently accepted the left’s false narrative that Trump is anti-Hispanic (anti-minority) and couldn’t understand why the Hispanic student would be a Trump supporter.
Thus the future shooter berated the hispanic student, calling him stupid.
Did this Oswald get training from Ray Epps?
There is so much manure being spread I'M starting to worry about globull warming.
In 2016 Crooks would have been 12, not 16. Unless they meant 2020?
Shooter taking any prescription drugs/antidepressants?
The ONLY picture they have of this guy is from 10 yrs ago when he was in Jr. High?
(Trayvon Martin syndrome here!)
At this point.. My guess is he was ANTIFA or some climate change cult . But the powers that be just won’t say it. The lack of info is pretty deafening.
It appears he wanted to shoot up the rally, perhaps kill Trump, and then do the same at the DNC.
Actions speak louder than words.
He shot at President Trump, not the crowd or Biden.
Both of Crooks parents were councilors? That might explain a lot.
If Crooks was 20 on July 13th, 2024, he would have been "about" 12 in 2016.
Thomas Matthew Crooks (September 20, 2003 – July 13, 2024)
Crooks turned 13 in 2016.
globull warming drove him crazy enough to become an assassin?
That means he was most likely an anarchist.
Obviously.
That’s true.
Rather, the fearmongering did.
