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???

[emilytannen]

Why is the media using his 7th grade photo?

[lizlee]

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".

[debbierobins]

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

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

[Jackietreehorn-ze]

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

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?

[Codeyx]

They want to make him look like a innocent little kid. And now there making him into the victim. Mentioning bullying for what? To give him sympathy

[ChristineHerrington-cvkg]

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

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.

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

[Natalie_TrueCrime]

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

[MuzixMaker]

No criminal record yet the cops claim he was identified overnight via DNA. How did they do that!

Nerd vs Secret Service. Nerd wins. Inside job. MK Ultra.

[BrandonMichael]

My question is how did they find a classmate of the shooter so fast and broadcast 🧐seems like a fake interview

[Texasdontcareaboutyou]

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