Failed Donald Trump assassin Thomas Matthew Crooks’ high school further deepened the mystery surrounding the disturbed shooter’s teen years Saturday when officials denied allegations that he tried out for its rifle team, was bullied and threatened to shoot up the school years before carrying out his sinister plot.

Bethel Park High School “has no record” of Crooks, 20, trying out for the school’s rifle team, it said in an updated statement Saturday.

“The coach does not recall meeting him. However, it is possible that Crooks informally attended a practice, took a shot, and never returned,” the statement read.

You need a program to keep up with the DC lies on this.

The “bullied” part was TOTALLY DEBUNKED due to the accuser being 3 years behind Crooks in grade level, and therefore NEVER even going to the same school as him.

But for the NeverTrumpers and Zeepers, expect them to keep pushing it.

I smell MK Ultra. Both parents are “psychologists,” which definitely fits. Plus we now learn that the father is a Second Amendment guy. Next he’ll be seen with his MAGA hat on.

I’m certain the 2nd shooter was a member of a rifle team

Well, he could have been a part of “a” rifle team, just not affiliated with his school. If I read this correctly, it’s only the school saying he wasn’t on their team, not that he wasn’t on any team. There must be private youth shooting teams, just like they have for other sports.

So the one about Iran paying for the ladder and running him as a “catfished” malcontent are all false? Who’da thunk it?/S

Definition.
In cybersecurity, catfishing refers to the fabrication of a false online identity by a cybercriminal for the purposes of deception, fraud, or exploitation.


Foreign terrorist entities try to find loners online who can be converted to become angry freelance agents carrying out attacks or sabotage. No one would suspect them until it’s too late.

If he didn’t learn how to shoot a rifle at school, then who did train him?

This question goes to the alphabet agencies.

Ever see the movie The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance? John Wayne was on the water tower in Butler.

So he was just a f**king paid assassin then.

Who was paying him?

Let’s see.

Who was really starting to lose to President Trump in the polls?

They could only get away with painting false portraits when they still had credibility. I think they’ll have a much harder time making this go away.

This reminds me of the fake “Lee Harvey Oswald” going to a rifle range in Dallas and insulting the customers to make sure he was noticed and everybody knew his “name”.

The “legend” continues...

Lol.

Just thought of something. TV news interviewed two fellow students who knew him a couple of years ago.

One said “He was bullied every day, always a loner getting pushed around.”

So he made that up? Looked honest to me.
Government was late in shutting them up./S

This is the phase where the government does the equivalent of the “Fair Play For Cuba” story.

Started with “he was a registered Republican.”

I’ve often mentioned family members in public education.
It’s become common for schools to “cook the books” to hide disciplinary issues and violence.
