He should have forgotten his crazy assassin plans, and attended the University of Pittsburgh ( a Public Ivy runner-up)!

And as an honors engineering student, he had no business working in a nursing home! Too bad!

Could be a matter of financing? or possibly fear of yet another effort to fit in failure?

More than anything else, I think the adults in his life—his parents and teachers—let him down by cramming his skull with BS about Trump and MAGA supporters. The media also deserve special condemnation for supporting and creating the atmosphere of hate in the public square by upwards of half of the adult population for Donald J. Trump.

Speaking of the University of Pittsburgh:

htt’Get out now’: Violence erupts at the University of Pittsburgh over Michael Knowles event

Demonstrators threw flares at attendees trying to enter the building and lit an incendiary device outside of the venue.

Violent protest against Michael Knowles and Brad Polumbo shuts down streets in Pittsburgh.

Violent protests erupted in the heart of Western Pennsylvania on Tuesday evening as student activists attempted to shut down a debate at the University of Pittsburgh between political commentators Michael Knowles and Brad Polumbo concerning transgender rights.

The event was hosted by the Intercollegiate Studies Institute and the Pitt College Republicans.

Campus Reform has covered the turmoil connected to other conservative speakers at the university, including Cabot Phillips and Riley Gaines, but the Executive Director of Media Relations Chuck Finder told Campus Reform that Tuesday’s outraged crowd was not only larger and more aggressive than those at the Phillips and Gaines events, but was also more extreme than anticipated.

His parents are said, by the neighbors, to have been very private. That seems like code for recluses, hermits, even. I can’t help thinking things would have been different if he had, for instance, been brought up by better, more attentive and outgoing parents. You get cases where normal parents can’t handle kids who seemed satanic from day one. This seems like a normal, if awkward kid failed by oddball parents.

In the movie Zero Dark Thirty, it was mentioned that The CIA recruits some people out of high school. You gotta wonder.

Well he was an introvert by personality I think....often they are loners and content being so...so it takes a crow bar to get them to share their problems.

Crooks was a kid who developed a small man syndrome. I am surprised he did not have a Big Motorcycle,if he did he likely would still be alive. Instead he became an assassin and exercised his small man syndome for his own death....
So he received a hole in his head above his left eyebrow.....

BUt was he the only shooter?

Preliminary acoustic data:

“Audio Analysis is Clear…Trump & Crowd were shot by two separate People”

https://freerepublic.com/focus/f-chat/4252705/posts

And he had to have had help according to the worlds best sniper:

“And yesterday what happened, I have no doubts in my mind that the shooter had help from somewhere within an agency, an organization, or the government,” Alexander stated firmly. “
