"Max R. Smith recalled taking an American history course with Crooks as a sophomore. He did recall Crooks making political statements — but they shed no light on his actions Saturday.

“He definitely was conservative,” he said. “It makes me wonder why he would carry out an assassination attempt on the conservative candidate.”

He was a conservative when he was in the 10th grade?
Well I guess that settles it.

Well he only graduated in 2022 so that wasn't that long ago.

He did register as a Republican as soon as he was legally allowed to.

But it certainly does seem, based on the limited information we have, that this was not a politically motivated shooting.

I don't think this kid was a conservative or a liberal, I doubt if he even had any hard feelings about Trump. He was just a troubled loner with emotional problems and was looking to become famous. Here's a video of him, what all do you think?.

Trump doesn't need supporters like that lol

I disagree. A lot of trump supporters are like that: lonely little incels.

Perhaps Trump was in the right place at the wrong time? The Crooks shooter was researching Biden, FBI director, the royal family etc so perhaps he just decided to have a pop at Trump because he landed on his lap?

The papparazi can follow celebrities with high powered cameras etc. A criminal can swap the camera with a gun.

The SS/FBI should have some kind of popeglass around a public venue like this. All it takes it one little nutter with an automatic weapon.

Anyone ever watched the Jackal 1997 remake? A high calibre weapon like this was disguised in his car. In 2024 considering AI robots etc a foreign govt can setup something like this to take out a target.
