Would-be assassin Thomas Matthew Crooks mocked classmate for supporting Trump in 2016: ‘He did not like our politicians’
A former classmate of would-be assassin Thomas Matthew Crooks says the 20-year-old gunman once mocked him over his support of former President Donald Trump and had a general disdain for politicians…
Like no shit, he shot at Trump
The people trying to claim this guy is a republican are retarded
Unless he was a big fan of the Lincoln Project.
Yeah I know that's not the case but it would be hilarious if it was.
I mean shit nobody with 2 braincells thinks those guys are anything but undercover Democrats
“BuT hE rEgIsTeReD aS A rEpUbLiCaN!”
We’ve also seen democrats register as republicans in heavy red states to get rhinos and neocons in power.
For a little bit of a white pill, this guy they're interviewing was a Hispanic classmate of Crooks. During casual conversation, he mentioned that he's gonna be voting for Trump. That made Crooks angry and he said "Why would you vote for Trump if you're Hispanic?"
That pos basically made his own version of Biden's "If you don't vote for me you ain't black" gaffe from 2020.
Apparently he was an insecure nerd because he always was acting arrogant like he knew everything. This is a far cry from all those other "friends" of his that knew him from middle school saying he was nice and quiet and weird and nothing else.
It sounds like Crooks was already mentally fucked in the head - bullying or not. He had that lazy ass "all politicians are bad" view that prevented him from thinking critically about how our government works.
Basically, he was the average reddittor.
you just know he had a reddit account
Quick, someone go look for a Plebbit superjanny who hasn't logged in since the 13th!
Came here to say this.
I have a friend I'm struggling with right now who just went full mask off over the Trump assassin event.
He was usually a "I don't like politics or politicians" type of guy but he also didn't comment on stuff or cry about things he didn't like. He was definitely left leaning because he is an effeminate little Asian guy that has probably touched a weiner before even tho he has a girlfriend.
This assassination attempt has him completely unhinged however. He's calling Trump a pedophile repeatedly and is claiming he deserved to be executed and wishes the guy hadn't missed and someone should try again yadda yadda.
I would hate to cut the guy out as we've been friends for years and he honestly didn't have TDS before this. He had a general disdain for any and all politicians without bias which was good enough for me. But this new sudden derangement is weird and I'm getting sick of his outbursts.
Sorry, I didn't really have anything relevant to tie in to the Crooks kid beyond venting about my friend. Felt good to type it out.
Maybe you can meet him in the middle to get his guard down? Despising all politicians by default is fairly based. From that you can find out if he's just uninformed, a low IQ NPC, or evil.
Where does he get his news from? Why does he think that about Trump? Does he think Biden is a pedophile? If not he's obviously in some kind of left-wing echo chamber. Does he use reddit, or worse, only listen to establishment news? Does he wish the shooter had succeeded and then gone after Biden? Does he consider the consequences of this political violence? Both from the spiritual and the revenge angles. Does he welcome a potential civil war? Speaking of spirituality, what are his morals in general? Does his family go to church? When does he think killing is wrong? Does he believe in bullshit marxist oppressor-oppressee dynamics? ("it's always bad to hurt the poor - it's always ok to murder wealthy elites and their pawns") What does he think of guns? What kind of government does he think we should have? Do all his beliefs agree with liberal orthodoxy?
I know you were just venting not asking for advice and you probably don't care about the guy that much. I just don't think it's possible to be an "apolitical" friend with him anymore. You might be able to save the friendship though if you can get him to be a little more rational. Otherwise for all you know he could be a psycho and you are in danger yourself.
We already knew that this Crooks guy is a redditor.
I made the mistake of going into the comment section, looking for retardation. Didn’t take long 😒
Why are you peddling conspiracy theories!?
Well, I'd almost believe he could have done it on his own. There are some (a lot) of problems with that theory though.
I'd also wonder how his family that were counselors missed it....sure activates the almonds...
I made a judgement based on all available information at the time that while so much sussy took place I'm going with incompetence over something much more sinister.
Having said that, I do hold the conspirato that secret service melissa mccarthy and her plump sisters in service are placed into Trumps detail so one or more would come out and say "he was very inapropro with me" come late September.
All the spooks have to do is nudge someone into action and have the security detail be incompetent.
There's so many socially engineered patsies willing to go off that system hopes one falls into line when they need them to make the move at the right time. It allows them to make everything seem like a coincidence.
For me I'm using Hanlon's Razor as a default yardstick, HOWEVER, I am more than happy to be proven wrong. Like a comment elsewhere in this thread said, it doesn't have to be just one thing. It could be that some deep state insider gave this nutjob a little nudge and some "help" to start "inspired" him to do this, and the parents were too fucking stupid/blind to see the warning signs for him (not mah baby boi, he din du nuffin, etc), AND on top of that complete fucking incompetence on the SS and the locals assisting them thanks to the DEI "hire" Melissa McCarthy clone.
The spooks or whoever may have already known our SS was compromised due to incompetence at the top, and maybe Crooks WAS reported for some kind of mental health issues that was already flagged by the FBI, and the spooks that be put two and two together and saw an opportunity to take a shot at Trump.
And of course, you can't even discount the latter theory because the glowies have done this before, both to OUR OWN guys (JFK) and easily to other countries to (see any US-backed coup in Latin America and Middle East)
That's what makes this whole thing frustrating.
