Trump Shooter Crooks Wasn’t on Rifle Team or Bullied, According to School

Bethel Park High School officials have contradicted reports that Trump shooter Thomas Matthew Crooks was bullied, threatening, and a member of the school’s rifle team.
In updated statements posted Saturday, officials said they have “no record” of Crooks ever trying out or being dismissed from the rifle team due to character or performance concerns, as previously reported.

Why does the guy have to have been bullied? Maybe he just really hated a convicted criminal, rapist, draft dodger, supected pedophile, treasonous, and otherwise all-around garbage human being and thought the world didn’t need as many of those as it has.

Just because someone made an attempt on that orange clown’s life doesn’t give the horse’s ass a pass at being an all-around shit heel.

Fuck that fat piece of shit.

All the evidence points to him just doing it for the sake of committing a shooting though. He was looking up random political events, seemingly to find the closest one, regardless of party.

I don’t think small school clubs usually keep detailed long-term records, so that’s not saying much

To be fair, the school would cover its ass immediately and deny any bullying claims if he was.

Didn’t his classmates say he was an outcast or bullied? A classmate would have more insight than some school official.

Some have. Some have said otherwise. The truth isn’t as clear yet about who he was

I love that in the current age if someone isn’t blasting every aspect of their life onto social media we have no idea what to do with them.

A lack of accuracy doesn’t make him any less of a national treasure.

In case the whole “hit a wall while trying to aim at a target on a different wall” story didn’t seem strange, the school has now confirmed he never tried out for the team. Also worth pointing out that many students interviewed said he was just a quiet kid who was not bullied, but the click-worthy headlines came from the kids who said he was bullied.

I have 2 middle schooler/high schoolers. Kids are not going to admit to bullying nor know who is being bullied if it’s not them doing the bullying or being bullied. They are all way too self involved at those ages.

Fair point on the bullying. But the shooting team claim was always absurd
