Why do we still know so little about Thomas Crooks?

[Anonymous]

There is an always less investigation when the perpetrator is dead. No trial, no need to prove motive, etc.

But it is so much more fun to think it is a conspiracy, regardless of the logic.

The kid was a registered Republican and pretty clearly mentally deranged. How could he use that against the Dems?

That's crazy.

"He began to more frequently use an encrypted email service called Mailfence and a virtual private network called Mullvad. Both would shield his online life from anyone who might pry...
The records include nearly a year of Crooks' activity on his college's wireless internet network. "

Apparently not!

"Logs of Crooks' on-campus internet activity, which CBS News obtained through a public records request"

Student web searches at college are public records?!?!!

No, they are subject to law enforcement subpoenas if tied to serious criminal conduct like an assassination attempt on a public official, and then if subpoenaed they are subject to a FOIA request by the press.

Adult white men who murder people are characterized as kids, why?

He was not a kid. He was a grown man.

Why are white male shooters always called "kids"?

Personally, as a former defender and prosecutor with decades of experience in the criminal justice system, and as a former college instructor, I call all young females, males, nonbinary, etc. of whatever color who commit gun violence kids because neuroscience has definitively established that their sub 30 year old brains are not fully cooked, they are very vulnerable in this age range to serious mental illness, and our society has since Columbine failed to address the serious issues that are influencing them to commit these horrific crimes.

I’m 54, highly educated, brain fully cooked, and capable of compassion. Like the families of the victims of the l AME mass shooting, my character allows me to forgive them because I grasp that they know not what they do. The acts are abhorrent but so is the cesspool of online evil in which they wallow because the adults in this society have utterly failed to hold tech companies accountable in any meaningful way for the content pushed to developing brains which by evolution alone do not have the capacity to withstand the resulting overwhelm.

Most of them are kids - sick disturbed kids.

Nah. They are adults with a faulty overinflated sense of entitlement. They believe their pride is more valuable than another humans life. They are fully responsible for the action they chose.

What happened to the men who were shot by Crooks? Why hasn’t the press interviewed them and their families?

[Anonymous]

He was looking to make a name for himself - which is why he sought out appearances by both Trump and Biden. Trump just happened to be at the next event within easy driving distance.

That whole incident creates more questions than answers.

Why wasn’t there a medical briefing by the hospital, like when Reagan was shot?

Why doesn’t Trump have any scars or remnants of the shot on his ear?

Why wasn’t it such a photo op atmosphere?

“Someone” is talking these people into doing these things. This is just the easiest age group that can be coerced and accumulate the resources to follow through.
How old were most of the 9/11 hijackers?
Age of Kamikaze pilots? Suicide bombers?

Here’s one of the current “someones” pulling strings.

Well, well…even Tucker Carlson admits that the administration station lied about the “assassination attempt.”

As if facts ever mattered in his vengeance rants.

Here's the Crooks bombshell:

Tucker Carlson just went on a deep dive to try and find out about Thomas Crooks' ideology and motivation. He found out that Crooks had indeed been a Trump supporter, but that Crooks ended up getting disillusioned and disaffected about Crooks. The attempt then was to try and connect Crooks with the left wing. And guess what - they did find an "Antifa" connection, but not at all what they expected or were looking for.

Crooks appears to have online with a guy going by the name Willy Tepes, and that Willy Tepes appears to have groomed Crooks. And, Tepes' name shows up on an Antifa site.

The problem is that Tepes' name is on the Antifa site not because he was Antifa but because Tepes is associated with the Nordic Resistance Movement, a neo-Nazi group based in Scandinavia and someone that Antifa considers a right wing terrorist and extremist threat.

So Crooks was a Trump supporter who became radicalized to be even more far-right-wing.
