Trump shooter wasn't who he was portrayed to be

The crappy-shot-shooter and failed assassin Thomas Crooks, was not who he was portrayed to be. His high school is making several corrections for the record about the "disturbed and mysterious shooter's teenage years," as reported by The New York Post.

First of all, there is no record of Crooks ever trying out for the school's rifle team, Bethel Park High School said in a statement on 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. “We don’t have any record of that happening.”

Two former classmates told the newspaper that Crooks tried out for the rifle team, but he was dismissed due to being a “comically bad” shot and for making concerning comments.

Second, he was not a victim of bullying, as one of the students of the school told reporters. Bethel Park High School also went on the record to dispel the “painful misconception” that Crooks was bullied during his high school years.

Third, he never threatened to shoot up the school. Bethel Park slammed allegations that Crooks ever threatened violence against the school.

Bethel Park strongly objected to allegations that Crooks ever threatened violence against the school. He graduated in 2022.

“In 2019, there was an unfortunate incident involving threats made by a different student against specific school administrators. That incident was thoroughly investigated and quickly addressed, and the student involved received appropriate discipline” the school said.

"Mr. Crooks excelled academically, regularly attended school, and had no disciplinary incidents,” they added.

“It had no connection whatsoever to Thomas Crooks.”

“According to our records, Mr. Crooks excelled academically, regularly attended school, and had no disciplinary incidents, including those related to bullying or threats,” the statement insisted — noting that the district “maintains detailed records, including academic performance, attendance, disciplinary history, and health records” for students.

Perhaps Crooks simply wanted that 15 minutes of fame, and yes, he got it. I suspect his parents aren't very proud of his failed attempt of assassinating Donald J. Trump.
