Suspected Trump shooter identified as Thomas Matthew Crooks: What we know

Ok, so you're telling me an agency with decades of experience whose only job is to protect one man were outdone by a 20 year old? Stop it.

He was able to bring a rifle and a ladder, really???

Why is the media using his 7th grade photo?

Is it just me, or does it sound really stupid that they're still calling him the "suspected shooter"? I guess at least they're not calling him the "alleged shooter".

It sounds a little fishy to me. The police were told about someone on the roof but nothing done. Was this a setup?????

"He would sit alone. He was an outcast... And you know how kids are these days." That is a depressing fact

Wheres his adult photo? Has to have a drivers license.

Netflix is writing a new series as we watch 😂

The Secret Service failed.

How does a 20 year old kid know there would be an unprotected roof top 60 miles from his home? Was this simply opportunistic if so why travel with a ladder? If planned how did he know there would be an unprotected rooftop 150yards from Donald platform? Thoughts anyone?

Im from UK and appalled by the events today , i do struggle with the fact that a 20 year old would volunteer his life to do that , its crazy

See, Crooks was bullied, I get that. SO What's his beef with Trump?

Security FAILURE

Why not show is current image instead of high-school photo? Pathetic

I see YouTube's comment deletion team is working like there's no tomorrow.

I keep trying to point out that two people lost their lives yesterday and YouTube keeps deleting my comment.

Crooks was 20. Classmates said he wore “hunting” or “military” clothes and sat alone during lunch. Classmates said he was bullied. He was turned down and not allowed on the highschool rifle team. He earned a science/math award. His class picture he is wearing a Mt.Rushmore/american flag t—shirt. 2 years out of highschool and only employment seemed to be a prepcook at a retirement home. The employer said they did a background check which came back clean. He is a registered Republican. The gun was registered to his father. He drove alone to the rally. He had “bomb making” material in the car. He somehow used a ladder to climb the building.

This is what happens when someone that is unhinged sits around all day long watching the 24 hour news channels.

Can you imagine dragging a rifle and ladder and not being noticed? Did law enforcement think he was on the team?

"Suspected." So many media outlets are still sowing doubt, rather than informing the public.
