Great analysis, the best one I've heard so far! I'm a clinical psychologist from the UK and your channel is undoubtedly one of the best for critical thinking and psychosocial perspectives
I agree! I’m a clinical psychologist as well and I love this channel. I can’t help to think about how school and family systems often fail children by not diagnosing and treating them properly or even recognizing their suffering at all.
But why do all of these professionals fail to notice that the interviewed kid was a young teenager? Crooks was 20. He was not held back. He was advanced academically. That kid could not have gone to school with Crooks.
@@mauraabate8874 This is one of my favorite channels. I'm not a psychologist but have always had an interest in true crime and psychology. My question is, do you think Covid lock downs played a part here? I believe he graduated in 2022 and registered to vote the same year. Maybe there was a great demand on his parents during this time because of their jobs.
His parents were mental health counselors, kohbergers sister was a therapist. I work in psychiatry, and we don’t want to admit when we have problems in our own lives and families, we’re the professionals after all. I’ve been thinking about that a lot.
There's a long history of medical general practitioners not noticing their own kids symptoms are appendicitis and the like. Like familiarity brings an over casual approach at home or something!
Thank you for your "cursory" analysis of Crook's motive. I believe that you were spot on in your analysis and conclusion. I've seen so many cases like this both in the media and personally. Crooks was intelligent, lacked a direction in life, had many regrets about his past memories, and was perhaps worried about possible humiliation if he attended college. He makes for the perfect assassin with a motivational Nexxus that wasn't limited to party affiliation as much as it was to make himself known.
I think the place to find the "best evidence" of how Crooks was truly feeling (whether we need it or not) is finding out what kind of online gaming he did. Guys like this who have few if any friends in real life can find additional friends online through their games. They are able to forge a new, better identity, not to mention a sense of anonymity. In-game chat logs or even discord messages to his online gaming friends might uncover how he was truly feeling in the months leading up to the event. Those friends would likely be the people with whom he was most honest.
Other interviews of his classmates show that he was NOT bullied. He had people he hung with. He hated politicians, and got passionate about it. He also had poor emotional control.
A lot of men and young men nowadays have zero emotional control it’s a huge problem currently mostly because of incel content that leads them to believe they’re entitled to have whatever they want becyase they’re men
That is EXACTLY the conclusion I came to. He was rejected by society, depressed, and decided he was going to go out in a blaze of Glory. He was going to show them all, not only that he mattered, but he was a good shot. He also wanted to punish people, i agree it could be his parents, also everyone who rejected him. I also agree he probably never had a girlfriend, and that was weighing heavily on him. Nobody wants to go to university as a virgin. Occam's Razor suggests it is exactly that. Trump was an opportunity that showed up. I've been saying everywhere, i don't think this was a political hit. But that is really hard for people to accept, because it's the first thing your mind goes to. Excellent analysis. I love your logic.
I’m on the fence about this. Not all kids that are loners and bullied become killers. Me included. I was an average student not many friends and bullied because of my weight. Never went to any of my proms no boyfriends in high school or college but I ended up having several professional jobs and owning my own business for 25 years. Married now for 34 years with 2 beautiful boys a step daughter and 9 grandkids. We don’t all go down the dark path. I agree with I think he wanted to show people he was a good marksman and Trumps rally was the ticket. It’s just sad that he and the fireman lost their lives. So many hurt people now families destroyed
Is it Laing who argues that most mental illnesses are not a pathology or illness, but rather a perfectly logical and rational reaction to the pathology in the society around them?
I think the young man that was interviewed in the beginning was likely attention-seeking and not wholly factual. Not thinking he was trying to be deliberately misleading, probably just excitable with all that was going on and likely embellished. The video that was shared saying he was being bullied for his clothing when someone was pulling on his pant leg just looked like they were all messing around, nothing terribly sinister.
@@TCRS His guidance councillor said he wasn't bullied she said he had 5 friends he always hung out with. If you look there is only one video of 2 kids saying he was bullied where are the other kids saying it. Generally intelligent kids are a bit of loners because when others speak they probably find it silly conversation I see it with my daughter. My point is he did have friends he just didn't always feel like hanging out with them which is unlike what the 2 kids are saying.
The dynamic between the one being interviewed and his friend was interesting. He kept looking at his friend as if for confirmation, and his friend, while standing there in front of the camera, kept his eyes fixed on his phone. It was strange altogether.
Yeah he got in on a scholarship man figured out how to make remote detonated boom booms supposedly without looking it up online. Guess he got to save some of that money he had saved up in those three offshore accounts that may or may not have been filled up by a certain company he did some "acting" for.
I agree completely . As to whether he was bullied or not, I don’t think the counselor who had to look him up , would have necessarily known . You can tell by looking at him that he would have been bullied and probably had never had a girlfriend .
It's no mystery how this happened, the fact his parents are counsellor's is deeply ironic. We all need to be more vigilant to people like this, intervention could have made such a difference.
@@earth0128 The father was said to have contacted the Police, he must have suspected his son capable of such behaviour yet allows him to have a gun. If such an incident occurred near me, I would never think “I wonder if my child comited this”.
As soon as it happened, anyone they talk to never said anything about being bullied until later on these people want 15 minutes fame and on TV and saying he was bullied will get them that
I understand there are more guns in Canada per capita. I agree it’s culture though. Could it be the influence of media and the gun lobby making people frightened?
I totally agree with your analysis- Crooks seems to fit into the “typical” mass shooter / incel profile The bullying, isolation and lack of friends storyline reminds me of Brian Kohberger and Rex Heuerman and I was glad for hear you mention that People are looking for a political reason but I think he was mad at America for treating him like garbage his entire life and he wanted to make his point He was probably suicidal as many mass shooters are I think this is a case of a mass shooter who figured he’d get lots of notoriety if he could take out a political figurehead Big time incel vibes if you ask me
While there are some conflicting statements on whether or not Crooks was bullied. I all I really have to do is picture a kid like him at the high school I went to, or any high school for that matter, and ask myself, "would this kid get bullied?" Then, the answer becomes clear.
Yep, I think many people commentating here have reached the same conclusion. While it's good not to over -generalise from one's own life experience, very many folk have seem a similar scenario play out, albeit without the lethal, dramatic aftermath, in their own school days.
Was waiting for your review of this case. You always do a thorough analysis. Yay you always nail it. Thanks for your hard work and dedication to these cases.
I have spent many years working in and around nursing homes. It is necessary and honourable work. It is difficult to hire staff for such paltry wages, so these positions are often filled by temporary workers (often quite young workers).
Excellent analysis Nick. Stopped too soon! This kid did seem to be in the middle of an identity crises. He was gifted at math & science and seemingly easily got his undergrad with an emphasis on engineering. Nerdy stuff (to him maybe). And probably the reason he got bullied. But we look at the picture the Secret Service took the day of the attempted assassination, he looks anything but nerdy. Hair longer, lighter…he’d probably been at the gun range outdoors rather than inside on the computer. I think this part of his identity was very important to him. When he didn’t make or was kicked off the Rifle team I think that was a very wounding experience. To make it worse, the rifle instructor and/or his peers called the shot “dangerous” as it was off a couple of feet (as opposed to inches. To a marksman/shooting enthusiast, that’s probably the worst word you could use to describe a bad shot. Because that becomes “he’s dangerous” (with a rifle). Anyway, I agree with your take on his personality and struggles. My father grew up in Bethel Park. My mom not far from it. I was born near Bethel Park and my aunt & first cousins still live in Beaver Falls, PA, very closeby. All in Allegheny County (pronounced perfectly! ) Western Pennsylvania is home to some of the nicest people you’ll ever meet. I grew up 6 hours away near Philadelphia, PA. The people in Philly are suspicious, tough & aloof. Again, this being Pittsburgh it’s a shock. My sympathy for Mr. Comperatore, the 2 men whose organs were ripped apart, to Donald Trump and his family. Stay blessed! Lisa
We are getting 'info' from youngsters who attended his school. It’s most likely the case that they didn’t know him, as he was brainy, and they were not in the same teaching groups. He was not sporty and unlikely to stand out. Therefore they ‘invented' a profile for him, as a person who was bullied. The teachers should be believed here. Clever, quiet, belonged to a similar group, never made waves, geeky. Millions of young people are like this, but they don’t attempt to assassinate a famous person.
Nick, I think you are very nearly correct. Certainly closer to correct than most news sources. I also agree that news sources are afraid to talk about the real issues that cause people to choose this type of violence. My only disagreement is with your assessment of why Crooks was researching the Crumbly case. I believe his purpose for doing so was to examine the fallout Crumbly’s crime had on his parents; ultimately deciding to go forward with his own crime thinking perhaps his age mitigated the fallout. What are your thoughts on Crooks’ motives behind his appearing to have registered as one political party, yet donated money to the opposite party? Could it be his internal struggle manifesting in this way? I also found the condition of the Crooks family home to be an interesting intersection with the LISK suspect’s home. FYI: According to a 2018 FBI report on mass shooters, most mass shooters have an unresolved grievance and are very vocal about it, but stop vocalising their discontent weeks/months before the crime and begin their preparations for the crime. Then, these criminals resume voicing their grievances immediately before taking action. I suspect Crooks’ grievances were aired in the INCEL way…within the gaming world.
The fact that he was googling significant mental depression makes the sueiside by sniper ring true for me. People who are thinking along those lines can show no signs or symptoms, it might have been difficult to see he was that depressed. Your theory fits where nothing else does.
He worked now though didn't he. In fact in a care type job as a diet technician in a care facility ? Planning menus and dietary needs for residents with illnesses and dietary requirements. By all accounts, according to his colleagues, he was very assiduous, gentle,and caring in his work life.
It's a reasonable theory you put forward based on a scrap of information. At this stage I don't believe there's enough information to build a profile or hypothesise a motive
I agree with your analysis. I think its safe to assume he was bullied at least somewhat. And honestly, thats all it takes. Even without being actively bullied, if you are simply ignored by peers, it can create resentment. It seems like usually these "school shooter" types go after the weak and vulnerable, but interestingly, this kid went after one of the most powerful and protected men on the planet. Also interestingly, a grievance killer went after the king of grievance politics...
One of the shooters teachers reached out to an interviewer on some news platform claiming he wasn't bullied in school. But the teacher may not be aware of everything that always went on between students. 🤔
I have no expertise in psychology or crime, but I was bullied in high school and your analysis rings true. The fact that not everyone in school knew him to be bullied is no mystery. I was horribly ashamed and didn't go around talking about it. When I have mentioned it now and then to certain former classmates they have been surprised to learn it. Additionally, I was filled with rage. It's just as well I didn't have access to firearms. Although, given my state of mind at that time, if I had used one, it probably would have been on myself.
Dear Sir T, I hear you loud and clear. I’m so glad you have survived to talk about your experience. Internalised distress is not easily apparent, and very difficult to talk about. I’m glad you are alive. Maybe your destiny is to notice when another h7mabeing is in that state. Bless you. 💕🙏🏾
The profile picture you have shows he had a significant overbite. I see that he's wearing braces in some photos, but I'm surprised a middle to upper class family did not address something so noticeable. His choices of college seem a little modest considering his aptitude for science and math, which I would think would make him a student big name colleges would be interested in.
I suspect going out of state, struggling to relate to a new bunch of people, and leaving familiar surroundings behind, would have been too traumatic for him.
My first thought when I saw a photo of Crooks was that he probably didn't have a girlfriend, had never even kissed someone. A lonely kid who thought he was unlovable.
Yes. It makes sense. The motives were complex weren't they. A multitude of things perhaps - having little agency, wanting more, afraid to get it in more normal ways, being influenced by the media, thinking a gun would solve his problems, a loner an outsider an outcast, going out in a blaze of glory. Looking at a picture of his face I almost saw Brandon Scott Hole.
Thanks for this. Popular media tells the audience that the only way to escape the bullying is to strike back with self-righteous retribution. I wonder if Crooks came to see politicians as perpetuators of the bullying culture that victimized him.
Your thoughts are very reasonable. But the negligence of the Secret Service and Local Police is so glaring ..... it seems impossible that he acted alone.
I like the “social death” theory. I heard it for the first time when you were analysing Lucy Letby. It fits with the “hurt people hurt people” belief that is so strong in the Anglosphere. While it is always meant as a way of helping to understand interpersonal conflict, it also almost gives people permission to act on violent impulses. Almost. As for the motive in choosing Trump, I doubt he would have shot just anyone of high status. I suspect he was researching security for heads of state, so I don’t think it was just dumb luck that he got so close to killing Trump. As for his choice, who is the most successful bully in America? There has been a build up of this tension between conservative, conformist “Christian” small town USA and everyone they see as different for decades, and everyone thinks the other side started it. I would be profoundly surprised if US society can climb back down from this level of hostility now. Both sides are mentally in their bunkers and not budging. This is a very dangerous moment in history.
YES.. with the recent bullying climate, some lonely guy might easily go off the edge, especially when the target is a super-bully himself. That choice may have been emotional, less than conscious, rather than political. Trump’s bullying ways have been a concern to many. But he was also a HIGH profile figure passing close by. As he himself was LOW profile. Many things seem to add up.
I tend to agree with the “Trump as the biggest bully” aspect. And the fact that his family had Trump signs in their yard at one time could have triggered him that his family would support such a bully. This choice might be a way to stick it to his parents, also.
@@judymurray191Oh they had Trump posters?! And they are counsellors as well. I wonder what sort of “counsellors” would support Trump. AFAIK you don’t have to have any official professional accreditation to call yourself a counsellor in the US. It’s not like being a psychiatrist. This makes sense of why he was registered as a Republican - his family probably got him to do that, while his own beliefs lead him to donate to a left wing cause. Maybe there were heated family arguments over Trump at home. Maybe he blamed Trump for his family’s discord. I notice that people tend to get confused by ambivalence when it comes to analysing events like this, but the experience of ambivalence can be just as painful as hate. Sometimes more so. No one can hurt us as deeply as our family and that’s because we love them.
Dunno...... I've always liked being "socially dead"..... means I don't have to put up with people....... In fact, I kind of work hard to stay that way.......
Excellent Analysis -- I appreciated your introduction of how you were going to approach this analysis - setting the perimeters, and breaking down all of the different aspects. Well thought out and presented, and I believe SPOT ON - you spoke of all the different (and possible) nuances in his life that would give him motive. It wasn't the type of motive that the general public or news media was necessarily looking for - nothing grandiose - but in fact, the more subtle pieces that make up the whole of who he was and why it could have led him to do what he did. Often times, less is more - I hope that your analysis gets the recognition that it deserves.
So glad to see TCRS on this case! I was tempted to email you a request that you cover it. Your analysis is the most comprehensive and existential- the best. 🚀🌟
IMO This is a case of corporate incompetence. The Secret Service is ultimately responsible for the whole event. However, physically, they were only responsible for the venue and inside. They did not have the budget or manpower to cover both inside and out. The local authorities were supposed to secure the outside perimeter. They said ahead of time they did not have the manpower or the budget to secure the whole area, including those buildings, once they covered traffic. This was proven because a few cops were following him, but could not keep him from getting on the roof. I believe Crooks climbed right into the gap of budget restraints. Why wasn’t someone on that roof to secure it? Because no one wanted to pay for it.
Interesting to read last night that his last internet searches before doing it were of pornography. Also that he had photos of the Princess of Wales stored on his phone.
@@Psmith-ek5hq his last 5 finger shuffle ain’t none of my business but maybe that interests you for some reason. It certainly isn’t news worthy. Everyone masterbates, even you.
I thought this from the start because when you’re not want by people and friends are very important you do something to be noticed!!! I can relate to this because I was very quiet in school and people would pick on me. Even some teachers and that was in the 1960s, so things were totally different at that time!!😊 definitely a lot better not so much hatred😢
Agreed. *Side Note: Theres a quote like.. "Professionals are predictable, but the world is full of amateurs." Meaning its often brazen stupidity that'll surprise u. Like somebody drnk or desperate doing shit that nobody in their right mind, or w/ any clue what they were doing would ever do & it ends up being why it worked.
Glad to see you in this case Nick. I didn't know he had a sister and that she was successful and yes some parents do adminonish their children based on whos more succesful etc and I know this myself from friends and what happened to them. But obviously they didn't do anything like this. Isnt odd weve heard nothing from the parents in media e.g Statement or anything. Keep us posted please
Those boys on camera seem like either the bullies or the people that laugh when others are being bullied… Several people have said he was not bullied!!
What they say, depends upon what they have seen, or how they feel about what they have seen. It is just ONE perspective to something that has many sides to it.
I was thinking the same thing 😮 about those boys and the fat one had nothing to say. He was on his phone not looking away. I bet u he bully the shooter at some point and was just like wow
I think there is ZERO chance he was not bullied. The extent of such bullying might be perceived or recalled differently by different people. But there is no way he wasn't bullied in some form or another.
Good morning. Excellent analysis. IMO most kids leave home when they’re gainfully employed after their post-secondary education, and usually around 21 - 25 years of age.
Of course the school wouldn’t do anything about bullying, But what about his mom and dad? Why did they leave him in school if he was a social pariah? Parents, what were you thinking?
@16:16 You state that you aren't sure if anyone else was injured. Yes, two were shot and in the hospital. There are videos of, from the bleachers to the right looking at the stage.
I love your interest in this from an outside the country perspective.. I live in the States, this all is a whirlwind of misinformation and conspiracy theory. And just think, this is about electing a president! 😢 Yes! Please give it a go. ❤
I don't mind if you do, watching 1 min after your upload starts. Check out the 'iconic' flying bullet image though, I'm a retired Paintball Ultimate and have map checked the angles, the 'bullet' or whatever it is in the [Doug Mills] image, is travelling from the OPPOSITE direction to that which Crooks was aiming. Anyone DM me if in any doubt that isn't the case.
Huh, you think that shot was taken BEFORE it went past him, going from right to left on the screen as you say... vs. what the world sees as it has already passed Trump and going left to right? With all injured from him shooting from the left in the photo, are you saying that there was another shooter that had the exact line and was sitting in the stands to his right? I'm confused as to logic if this is what you are stating. Can you expound?
I disagree with the analysis and it does not make sense. The singular most important detail he graduated from "Community College of Allegheny, or CCAC, from 2021 to 2024 and graduated with an associate degree in engineering science." This is not the portrait of someone who considers themselves humiliated or internalized humiliation to the point of desperate psychotic action. Crooks had just accomplished something big in getting an AA in Engineering. Engineering is very hard field of study and also is one of the fields with highest pay in USA. As for his being 'weird' in school...Well, he isn't very handsome and he was smart...2 routes to ostracism. However his weirdness may have been his intelligence and his intelligence may have made him not care so very much about his ostracism, if such ostracism is factual and not mythical.
his intelligence may have made him not care so very much about his ostracism>>>Yes, the smarter and more sensitive you are the less you care about people who don't understand you and pick on you. It's the dumber bullies that suffer from forgetting about their bullying of others when they are older.
I agree with you that he likely wanted to leave his mark in a way similar to many school shooters. Also I agree that living with no friends and being bullied is a sad and unhappy life and would tend to lead to more negative and unhelpful behaviours. However I think that the types of people you mentioned were most likely also born with issues, as in maybe they are wired differently and or have mental or phycological problems and the bullying alone is not the sole cause of their behaviour. They are picked on because they are different, IMO.
I think you’re spot on with this. He wanted to die owing to his depressive condition and wanted to go out with some kind of meaning - albeit a twisted one. He was still too young to cope with his life and available firearms brought things to a terrible conclusion
Glad you put up his profile according to TCRS critical thinking standards. I pretty much understood his profile after listening to all your commentary over the last six years. But I didn't contemplate the parent aspect. Thanks for mentioning it. Young people are suffering on an unprecedented scale these days, and they are falling thru the cracks of society's making, starting at home.
If you're a certain kind of therapist or a certain kind of parent, and your son fails to turn out the way you think he should, I imagine that could be extremely embarrassing. 😒
Id come to similar conclusions myself but you stated it all much more thoroughly and eloquently. (Commenting for the algorithm, your channel is top tier)
Best analysis by far. He was levelling the playing field. I am sad for all victims of bullying. It's wounding and without peer or family support can lead directly to despair and rage. Great work. Ty.
You are correct. The pathology attaches itself to a rationale that is relevant to it's 'time'. One could easily attribute the same pathology to a Catholic extremist attempting taking the life of a Protestant figure head. I use that to provide a vast expanse in the difference of ideological difference, geography, politic, and time frame. The question is what emboldens such a pathology to make a decision that is contrary to the natural and normative instinct for self preservation...as it is undertaken with an assumption that they will be held to account.
@True Crime Rocket Science, I was there, we heard 2 sets of shots from 2 different guns. I thought at first the second set was the secret service, but why would they need to fire 4-5 times to hit one person, that doesn't make any sense either. My second concern, how did he get in with a riffle and onto the roof with nobody seeing him until he was on the roof and why was he in a blackrock commercial? I believe he had to have had help and now I'm starting to believe there were 2 shooters. There's too many coincidences here, Biden telling his funders to "put a bullseye on Trump" days before, that company putting on shares of Trump's stock the day before, Jill Biden being in the state the same day and taking the ss "A team". The elite think we're stupid and then when you point out the obvious, they name call because they have no real argument to make to defend themselves.
Don't you dare pin this on Biden! If anything, it was an inside job orchestrated by the orange one and his cronies, to benefit himself. Now, his cultists consider him a god because he "cheated death", and he's milking this for all it is worth, selling merchandise about it, no less! How sickening, considering someone DIED.

Thank you for your "cursory" analysis of Crook's motive. I believe that you were spot on in your analysis and conclusion. I've seen so many cases like this both in the media and personally. Crooks was intelligent, lacked a direction in life, had many regrets about his past memories, and was perhaps worried about possible humiliation if he attended college. He makes for the perfect assassin with a motivational Nexxus that wasn't limited to party affiliation as much as it was to make himself known.
I'm so glad you're covering this. I need an analytical mind over this madness and deluge of propaganda! Thank you ❤
Perhaps He was groomed by someone in intelligence. Told he was a patriot and that the agency had his back 100%….
Everything you said aligns with my own thoughts about this kid and his motivations. I find your thoughts very reasonable. They make sense.
What's striking from a European perspective is what is not even being mentioned, that in the US disaffected young men have easy access to guns.
I think the place to find the "best evidence" of how Crooks was truly feeling (whether we need it or not) is finding out what kind of online gaming he did. Guys like this who have few if any friends in real life can find additional friends online through their games. They are able to forge a new, better identity, not to mention a sense of anonymity. In-game chat logs or even discord messages to his online gaming friends might uncover how he was truly feeling in the months leading up to the event. Those friends would likely be the people with whom he was most honest.
Other interviews of his classmates show that he was NOT bullied. He had people he hung with. He hated politicians, and got passionate about it. He also had poor emotional control.
He may have hated politicians but he did not hate politics.
Two things can be true at once. He may have had some buddies, doesn't mean he wasn't bullied.
so the other loaners "small group" sat together sometimes?
He sounds like most american males.😂
A lot of men and young men nowadays have zero emotional control it’s a huge problem currently mostly because of incel content that leads them to believe they’re entitled to have whatever they want becyase they’re men
You won't be boring, ever, lol. We love your analysis, always!
That is EXACTLY the conclusion I came to. He was rejected by society, depressed, and decided he was going to go out in a blaze of Glory.
He was going to show them all, not only that he mattered, but he was a good shot.
He also wanted to punish people, i agree it could be his parents, also everyone who rejected him. I also agree he probably never had a girlfriend, and that was weighing heavily on him. Nobody wants to go to university as a virgin.
Occam's Razor suggests it is exactly that. Trump was an opportunity that showed up. I've been saying everywhere, i don't think this was a political hit. But that is really hard for people to accept, because it's the first thing your mind goes to.
Excellent analysis. I love your logic.
I’m on the fence about this. Not all kids that are loners and bullied become killers. Me included. I was an average student not many friends and bullied because of my weight. Never went to any of my proms no boyfriends in high school or college but I ended up having several professional jobs and owning my own business for 25 years. Married now for 34 years with 2 beautiful boys a step daughter and 9 grandkids. We don’t all go down the dark path. I agree with I think he wanted to show people he was a good marksman and Trumps rally was the ticket. It’s just sad that he and the fireman lost their lives. So many hurt people now families destroyed
Thank you for this courageous and really well done analysis🎉
Thanks for watching!
They knew of him and let him get there. He was probably like wtf??? No one is stopping me
Is it Laing who argues that most mental illnesses are not a pathology or illness, but rather a perfectly logical and rational reaction to the pathology in the society around them?
I think the young man that was interviewed in the beginning was likely attention-seeking and not wholly factual. Not thinking he was trying to be deliberately misleading, probably just excitable with all that was going on and likely embellished.
The video that was shared saying he was being bullied for his clothing when someone was pulling on his pant leg just looked like they were all messing around, nothing terribly sinister.
I think you're right. He did what he did because he wasn't bullied.
@@TCRS Well, other students have said that he had a group of friends, and was not bullied.
Sad to say, but just looking at Crooks, I can tell he would have been bullied.
@@TCRS His guidance councillor said he wasn't bullied she said he had 5 friends he always hung out with. If you look there is only one video of 2 kids saying he was bullied where are the other kids saying it. Generally intelligent kids are a bit of loners because when others speak they probably find it silly conversation I see it with my daughter. My point is he did have friends he just didn't always feel like hanging out with them which is unlike what the 2 kids are saying.
The dynamic between the one being interviewed and his friend was interesting. He kept looking at his friend as if for confirmation, and his friend, while standing there in front of the camera, kept his eyes fixed on his phone. It was strange altogether.
He wanted to be the first inductee to the Lee Harvey Oswald School Of Patsy
Smells about right !
Yeah he got in on a scholarship man figured out how to make remote detonated boom booms supposedly without looking it up online. Guess he got to save some of that money he had saved up in those three offshore accounts that may or may not have been filled up by a certain company he did some "acting" for.
@@tylerlewis9984 that was entertaining to read!
@@tylerlewis9984My thoughts exactly!
I agree completely . As to whether he was bullied or not, I don’t think the counselor who had to look him up , would have necessarily known . You can tell by looking at him that he would have been bullied and probably had never had a girlfriend .
It's no mystery how this happened, the fact his parents are counsellor's is deeply ironic. We all need to be more vigilant to people like this, intervention could have made such a difference.
But his father had bought that mass assault gun?
@@earth0128 The father was said to have contacted the Police, he must have suspected his son capable of such behaviour yet allows him to have a gun. If such an incident occurred near me, I would never think “I wonder if my child comited this”.
As soon as it happened, anyone they talk to never said anything about being bullied until later on these people want 15 minutes fame and on TV and saying he was bullied will get them that
The true problem I believe is embedded in our culture as Americans. One in twenty adults owns an AR style rifle. There are more guns than people.
Mathematically that doesn't add up.
@@rebbel67 you did the math, huh? Let’s hear it.
I understand there are more guns in Canada per capita. I agree it’s culture though. Could it be the influence of media and the gun lobby making people frightened?
@@wendybond2848 yes I believe that is mostly why.
I totally agree with your analysis- Crooks seems to fit into the “typical” mass shooter / incel profile
The bullying, isolation and lack of friends storyline reminds me of Brian Kohberger and Rex Heuerman and I was glad for hear you mention that
People are looking for a political reason but I think he was mad at America for treating him like garbage his entire life and he wanted to make his point
He was probably suicidal as many mass shooters are
I think this is a case of a mass shooter who figured he’d get lots of notoriety if he could take out a political figurehead
Big time incel vibes if you ask me
This is the conclusion I thought of. Others are too tainted by their biases. Distort information until it fits the conclusion they want it to be.
While there are some conflicting statements on whether or not Crooks was bullied. I all I really have to do is picture a kid like him at the high school I went to, or any high school for that matter, and ask myself, "would this kid get bullied?" Then, the answer becomes clear.
Exactly.
Whether that's the actual motive or not, there is no chance this kid was not bullied.
Yep, I think many people commentating here have reached the same conclusion. While it's good not to over -generalise from one's own life experience, very many folk have seem a similar scenario play out, albeit without the lethal, dramatic aftermath, in their own school days.
This is exactly what I showed up for. Thank you so much for all you do. I knew the most sensible take would be found here.
Was waiting for your review of this case. You always do a thorough analysis. Yay you always nail it. Thanks for your hard work and dedication to these cases.
I agree
Nick, have been patiently waiting for your take on this.
I have spent many years working in and around nursing homes. It is necessary and honourable work.
It is difficult to hire staff for such paltry wages, so these positions are often filled by temporary workers (often quite young workers).
P.S. I didn’t know about the older sister! Thank you for that 🙏
Excellent analysis Nick. Stopped too soon! This kid did seem to be in the middle of an identity crises. He was gifted at math & science and seemingly easily got his undergrad with an emphasis on engineering. Nerdy stuff (to him maybe). And probably the reason he got bullied. But we look at the picture the Secret Service took the day of the attempted assassination, he looks anything but nerdy. Hair longer, lighter…he’d probably been at the gun range outdoors rather than inside on the computer. I think this part of his identity was very important to him. When he didn’t make or was kicked off the Rifle team I think that was a very wounding experience. To make it worse, the rifle instructor and/or his peers called the shot “dangerous” as it was off a couple of feet (as opposed to inches. To a marksman/shooting enthusiast, that’s probably the worst word you could use to describe a bad shot. Because that becomes “he’s dangerous” (with a rifle). Anyway, I agree with your take on his personality and struggles. My father grew up in Bethel Park. My mom not far from it. I was born near Bethel Park and my aunt & first cousins still live in Beaver Falls, PA, very closeby. All in Allegheny County (pronounced perfectly! ) Western Pennsylvania is home to some of the nicest people you’ll ever meet. I grew up 6 hours away near Philadelphia, PA. The people in Philly are suspicious, tough & aloof. Again, this being Pittsburgh it’s a shock. My sympathy for Mr. Comperatore, the 2 men whose organs were ripped apart, to Donald Trump and his family. Stay blessed! Lisa
We are getting 'info' from youngsters who attended his school. It’s most likely the case that they didn’t know him, as he was brainy, and they were not in the same teaching groups. He was not sporty and unlikely to stand out. Therefore they ‘invented' a profile for him, as a person who was bullied. The teachers should be believed here. Clever, quiet, belonged to a similar group, never made waves, geeky. Millions of young people are like this, but they don’t attempt to assassinate a famous person.
Why couldn't his parents see what a mess he was? He looks like he needs the help and they are therapists!? Crooks is a crook!
Nick, I think you are very nearly correct. Certainly closer to correct than most news sources. I also agree that news sources are afraid to talk about the real issues that cause people to choose this type of violence.
My only disagreement is with your assessment of why Crooks was researching the Crumbly case. I believe his purpose for doing so was to examine the fallout Crumbly’s crime had on his parents; ultimately deciding to go forward with his own crime thinking perhaps his age mitigated the fallout.
What are your thoughts on Crooks’ motives behind his appearing to have registered as one political party, yet donated money to the opposite party? Could it be his internal struggle manifesting in this way?
I also found the condition of the Crooks family home to be an interesting intersection with the LISK suspect’s home.
FYI:
According to a 2018 FBI report on mass shooters, most mass shooters have an unresolved grievance and are very vocal about it, but stop vocalising their discontent weeks/months before the crime and begin their preparations for the crime. Then, these criminals resume voicing their grievances immediately before taking action.
I suspect Crooks’ grievances were aired in the INCEL way…within the gaming world.
The kid was a patsy. Too many unanswered questions which are quickly being buried.
Another Grassy knoll.
The fact that he was googling significant mental depression makes the sueiside by sniper ring true for me. People who are thinking along those lines can show no signs or symptoms, it might have been difficult to see he was that depressed. Your theory fits where nothing else does.
Motive? He was TOLD what to do. This 20 year old didn't plan a thing. He showed up to a scene that was prepared for him, and did what he was told.
The CIA or the FBI searched him out because he fitted their profile????
💯
Wow, that's what you guys are coming with now.
Um, that would be off the scale conspiracy theory for so many reasons I would say.
@@PeterStone-ch9dw Um, that would be off the scale conspiracy theory for so many reasons I would say.
He probably wanted "to be somebody".
He worked now though didn't he. In fact in a care type job as a diet technician in a care facility ? Planning menus and dietary needs for residents with illnesses and dietary requirements. By all accounts, according to his colleagues, he was very assiduous, gentle,and caring in his work life.
Thanks!
It's a reasonable theory you put forward based on a scrap of information. At this stage I don't believe there's enough information to build a profile or hypothesise a motive
I agree with your analysis. I think its safe to assume he was bullied at least somewhat. And honestly, thats all it takes. Even without being actively bullied, if you are simply ignored by peers, it can create resentment. It seems like usually these "school shooter" types go after the weak and vulnerable, but interestingly, this kid went after one of the most powerful and protected men on the planet. Also interestingly, a grievance killer went after the king of grievance politics...
Thank you Nick for covering this.
One of the shooters teachers reached out to an interviewer on some news platform claiming he wasn't bullied in school. But the teacher may not be aware of everything that always went on between students. 🤔
True, I was bullied a lot in school. Teachers always seemed to be unaware or just didn't care. I wouldn't rely on their observances.
I enjoyed your analysis much more than all the conspiracy theories.
I have no expertise in psychology or crime, but I was bullied in high school and your analysis rings true. The fact that not everyone in school knew him to be bullied is no mystery. I was horribly ashamed and didn't go around talking about it. When I have mentioned it now and then to certain former classmates they have been surprised to learn it. Additionally, I was filled with rage. It's just as well I didn't have access to firearms. Although, given my state of mind at that time, if I had used one, it probably would have been on myself.
Dear Sir T, I hear you loud and clear. I’m so glad you have survived to talk about your experience.
Internalised distress is not easily apparent, and very difficult to talk about.
I’m glad you are alive. Maybe your destiny is to notice when another h7mabeing is in that state.
Bless you. 💕🙏🏾
@@ruthbentley2090 Thank you.
Great analysis and I agree with your assessment. He would have gone for any high profile person just to "leave his mark"
Completely agree with your analysis Nick. Thanks for posting the video.
The profile picture you have shows he had a significant overbite. I see that he's wearing braces in some photos, but I'm surprised a middle to upper class family did not address something so noticeable. His choices of college seem a little modest considering his aptitude for science and math, which I would think would make him a student big name colleges would be interested in.
I suspect going out of state, struggling to relate to a new bunch of people, and leaving familiar surroundings behind, would have been too traumatic for him.
My first thought when I saw a photo of Crooks was that he probably didn't have a girlfriend, had never even kissed someone. A lonely kid who thought he was unlovable.
Yes. It makes sense. The motives were complex weren't they. A multitude of things perhaps - having little agency, wanting more, afraid to get it in more normal ways, being influenced by the media, thinking a gun would solve his problems, a loner an outsider an outcast, going out in a blaze of glory. Looking at a picture of his face I almost saw Brandon Scott Hole.
Thanks for this. Popular media tells the audience that the only way to escape the bullying is to strike back with self-righteous retribution. I wonder if Crooks came to see politicians as perpetuators of the bullying culture that victimized him.
Your thoughts are very reasonable. But the negligence of the Secret Service and Local Police is so glaring ..... it seems impossible that he acted alone.
Great analysis, Nick. What you are saying makes total sense. I agree.
I like the “social death” theory. I heard it for the first time when you were analysing Lucy Letby. It fits with the “hurt people hurt people” belief that is so strong in the Anglosphere. While it is always meant as a way of helping to understand interpersonal conflict, it also almost gives people permission to act on violent impulses. Almost. As for the motive in choosing Trump, I doubt he would have shot just anyone of high status. I suspect he was researching security for heads of state, so I don’t think it was just dumb luck that he got so close to killing Trump. As for his choice, who is the most successful bully in America? There has been a build up of this tension between conservative, conformist “Christian” small town USA and everyone they see as different for decades, and everyone thinks the other side started it. I would be profoundly surprised if US society can climb back down from this level of hostility now. Both sides are mentally in their bunkers and not budging. This is a very dangerous moment in history.
YES.. with the recent bullying climate, some lonely guy might easily go off the edge, especially when the target is a super-bully himself. That choice may have been emotional, less than conscious, rather than political. Trump’s bullying ways have been a concern to many. But he was also a HIGH profile figure passing close by. As he himself was LOW profile. Many things seem to add up.
I tend to agree with the “Trump as the biggest bully” aspect. And the fact that his family had Trump signs in their yard at one time could have triggered him that his family would support such a bully. This choice might be a way to stick it to his parents, also.
@@judymurray191Oh they had Trump posters?! And they are counsellors as well. I wonder what sort of “counsellors” would support Trump. AFAIK you don’t have to have any official professional accreditation to call yourself a counsellor in the US. It’s not like being a psychiatrist. This makes sense of why he was registered as a Republican - his family probably got him to do that, while his own beliefs lead him to donate to a left wing cause. Maybe there were heated family arguments over Trump at home. Maybe he blamed Trump for his family’s discord.
I notice that people tend to get confused by ambivalence when it comes to analysing events like this, but the experience of ambivalence can be just as painful as hate. Sometimes more so. No one can hurt us as deeply as our family and that’s because we love them.
Dunno...... I've always liked being "socially dead"..... means I don't have to put up with people....... In fact, I kind of work hard to stay that way.......
@@RMSTitanicWSL some people prefer it that way. Then they don’t suffer as those who became that way by accident, and bullying.
Spot on, Nick! No doubt he felt stuck between a rock and a hard place, and just by the idea of leaving home for college. Really sad
😂He graduated from HS in 2022. He had an Associates Degree in Engineering from the local community college. He was working as a dietician.
Excellent Analysis -- I appreciated your introduction of how you were going to approach this analysis - setting the perimeters, and breaking down all of the different aspects. Well thought out and presented, and I believe SPOT ON - you spoke of all the different (and possible) nuances in his life that would give him motive. It wasn't the type of motive that the general public or news media was necessarily looking for - nothing grandiose - but in fact, the more subtle pieces that make up the whole of who he was and why it could have led him to do what he did. Often times, less is more - I hope that your analysis gets the recognition that it deserves.
So glad to see TCRS on this case! I was tempted to email you a request that you cover it. Your analysis is the most comprehensive and existential- the best. 🚀🌟
I was also thinking about asking Nick to cover this story but by the time I ask he had already posted this WOW❤
IMO
This is a case of corporate incompetence. The Secret Service is ultimately responsible for the whole event. However, physically, they were only responsible for the venue and inside. They did not have the budget or manpower to cover both inside and out. The local authorities were supposed to secure the outside perimeter. They said ahead of time they did not have the manpower or the budget to secure the whole area, including those buildings, once they covered traffic. This was proven because a few cops were following him, but could not keep him from getting on the roof. I believe Crooks climbed right into the gap of budget restraints. Why wasn’t someone on that roof to secure it? Because no one wanted to pay for it.
Interesting to read last night that his last internet searches before doing it were of pornography. Also that he had photos of the Princess of Wales stored on his phone.
Not interested in that 😅
@@Psmith-ek5hq his last 5 finger shuffle ain’t none of my business but maybe that interests you for some reason. It certainly isn’t news worthy. Everyone masterbates, even you.
I'll try,again seeing as yt ate my last comment. To me its relevant because he wanted to feel potent, wanted to feel that testosterone surge.
@@Flowersofromance6-fs4pb very relevant 😎
I thought this from the start because when you’re not want by people and friends are very important you do something to be noticed!!! I can relate to this because I was very quiet in school and people would pick on me. Even some teachers and that was in the 1960s, so things were totally different at that time!!😊 definitely a lot better not so much hatred😢
Sadly, makes a lot of sense.
Agreed. *Side Note: Theres a quote like.. "Professionals are predictable, but the world is full of amateurs." Meaning its often brazen stupidity that'll surprise u. Like somebody drnk or desperate doing shit that nobody in their right mind, or w/ any clue what they were doing would ever do & it ends up being why it worked.
Thanks Nick! Your analysis makes great sense to me. 🚀
One can never extract logical motivation from a psychopath.
Glad to see you in this case Nick. I didn't know he had a sister and that she was successful and yes some parents do adminonish their children based on whos more succesful etc and I know this myself from friends and what happened to them. But obviously they didn't do anything like this. Isnt odd weve heard nothing from the parents in media e.g Statement or anything. Keep us posted please
Spot on analysis from my point of view.
Those boys on camera seem like either the bullies or the people that laugh when others are being bullied…
Several people have said he was not bullied!!
What they say, depends upon what they have seen, or how they feel about what they have seen. It is just ONE perspective to something that has many sides to it.
I was thinking the same thing 😮 about those boys and the fat one had nothing to say. He was on his phone not looking away. I bet u he bully the shooter at some point and was just like wow
I think there is ZERO chance he was not bullied. The extent of such bullying might be perceived or recalled differently by different people. But there is no way he wasn't bullied in some form or another.
@@SigMaQuint Ahh but the media is known for pushing an agenda!
@@thisisdra5ticc Something is very off for sure.
We as a society failed him. Who else are we failing right now?
Thank you. Truth this all makes sense thank. You. God. Blessings ❤❤😢😢
Totally agree. I had the same thoughts from the beginning. Your analysis makes perfect sense to me.
His parents might have been abusing him. It’s more common than people realize.
Good morning. Excellent analysis. IMO most kids leave home when they’re gainfully employed after their post-secondary education, and usually around 21 - 25 years of age.
Of course the school wouldn’t do anything about bullying, But what about his mom and dad? Why did they leave him in school if he was a social pariah? Parents, what were you thinking?
I very much agree 👍👍
@16:16 You state that you aren't sure if anyone else was injured. Yes, two were shot and in the hospital. There are videos of, from the bleachers to the right looking at the stage.
Thanks, that does make sense.
Any updates on the two injured ?
@@TCRS Yes, also the hydraulics of the speaker cable is in videos spewing which was right behind the right stands, in line with the shot .
I love your interest in this from an outside the country perspective.. I live in the States, this all is a whirlwind of misinformation and conspiracy theory. And just think, this is about electing a president! 😢
Yes! Please give it a go. ❤
I don't mind if you do, watching 1 min after your upload starts.
Check out the 'iconic' flying bullet image though, I'm a retired Paintball Ultimate and have map checked the angles, the 'bullet' or whatever it is in the [Doug Mills] image, is travelling from the OPPOSITE direction to that which Crooks was aiming.
Anyone DM me if in any doubt that isn't the case.
Huh, you think that shot was taken BEFORE it went past him, going from right to left on the screen as you say... vs. what the world sees as it has already passed Trump and going left to right? With all injured from him shooting from the left in the photo, are you saying that there was another shooter that had the exact line and was sitting in the stands to his right? I'm confused as to logic if this is what you are stating. Can you expound?
That would be difficult to coordinate.
I disagree with the analysis and it does not make sense. The singular most important detail he graduated from "Community College of Allegheny, or CCAC, from 2021 to 2024 and graduated with an associate degree in engineering science." This is not the portrait of someone who considers themselves humiliated or internalized humiliation to the point of desperate psychotic action. Crooks had just accomplished something big in getting an AA in Engineering. Engineering is very hard field of study and also is one of the fields with highest pay in USA. As for his being 'weird' in school...Well, he isn't very handsome and he was smart...2 routes to ostracism. However his weirdness may have been his intelligence and his intelligence may have made him not care so very much about his ostracism, if such ostracism is factual and not mythical.
his intelligence may have made him not care so very much about his ostracism>>>Yes, the smarter and more sensitive you are the less you care about people who don't understand you and pick on you. It's the dumber bullies that suffer from forgetting about their bullying of others when they are older.
I wonder what meds he could have been on.
I agree with you that he likely wanted to leave his mark in a way similar to many school shooters. Also I agree that living with no friends and being bullied is a sad and unhappy life and would tend to lead to more negative and unhelpful behaviours. However I think that the types of people you mentioned were most likely also born with issues, as in maybe they are wired differently and or have mental or phycological problems and the bullying alone is not the sole cause of their behaviour. They are picked on because they are different, IMO.
Wild I did a tarot reading on the motive and via my intuition and the info we had I too got the vibe of a feeling of uselessness and failure
I think you’re spot on with this. He wanted to die owing to his depressive condition and wanted to go out with some kind of meaning - albeit a twisted one. He was still too young to cope with his life and available firearms brought things to a terrible conclusion
Glad you put up his profile according to TCRS critical thinking standards.
I pretty much understood his profile after listening to all your commentary over the last six years. But I didn't contemplate the parent aspect. Thanks for mentioning it. Young people are suffering on an unprecedented scale these days, and they are falling thru the cracks of society's making, starting at home.
Nick I was going to ask you to look into this but you ALREADY did it WOW! THIS IS QHT I LOVE YOU AND YOUR CHANNEL ❤ Thank you so much AGAIN!
A lot of people are bullied, very few people become shooters.. idk there’s way more to this than just bullying.
Two others were critically injured as well.
His parents were therapists…. They obviously gave up on him.
The fact that both his parents were right wing gun enthusiast and therapists is an odd side note.
If you're a certain kind of therapist or a certain kind of parent, and your son fails to turn out the way you think he should, I imagine that could be extremely embarrassing. 😒
for sure…interesting combo 🤨
@@earthlingwithrocks9519 parents were not right wing. Dad a libertarian and mom a Democrat.
Hi, I agree with much of your "cursory analysis" . .
Most seem to not take into account how important authentic human connection. is .....
Id come to similar conclusions myself but you stated it all much more thoroughly and eloquently. (Commenting for the algorithm, your channel is top tier)
Best analysis by far. He was levelling the playing field. I am sad for all victims of bullying. It's wounding and without peer or family support can lead directly to despair and rage. Great work. Ty.
Excellent analysis
I agree completely. I said these same things to my husband this week.
You are correct. The pathology attaches itself to a rationale that is relevant to it's 'time'. One could easily attribute the same pathology to a Catholic extremist attempting taking the life of a Protestant figure head. I use that to provide a vast expanse in the difference of ideological difference, geography, politic, and time frame. The question is what emboldens such a pathology to make a decision that is contrary to the natural and normative instinct for self preservation...as it is undertaken with an assumption that they will be held to account.
Well done Nick, I think you are spot-on.
Great analysis!
Was he under any prescribed meds ?
Sorry, I just don’t believe the kid in the black shirt
@@DKM905 I don’t either. Especially after the other school kid came out, seemed more believable and told a totally different story.
100% lying. He's looking at the other kid for validation but he won't look up because it's all BS.
Perhaps the kid in the black shirt bullied and teased him
@@JadeHunter67I had that thought.
Plus at some point he didn't bath or clean himself.
@True Crime Rocket Science, I was there, we heard 2 sets of shots from 2 different guns. I thought at first the second set was the secret service, but why would they need to fire 4-5 times to hit one person, that doesn't make any sense either. My second concern, how did he get in with a riffle and onto the roof with nobody seeing him until he was on the roof and why was he in a blackrock commercial? I believe he had to have had help and now I'm starting to believe there were 2 shooters. There's too many coincidences here, Biden telling his funders to "put a bullseye on Trump" days before, that company putting on shares of Trump's stock the day before, Jill Biden being in the state the same day and taking the ss "A team". The elite think we're stupid and then when you point out the obvious, they name call because they have no real argument to make to defend themselves.
Gosh you were there. I didn't know about Jill Biden taking the SS A team. Thanks for your insight glad your ok
What do you mean with the blackrock commercial? A tv commercial? What is it and what's the significance?
They saw him acting weird before he got on the roof
Don't you dare pin this on Biden! If anything, it was an inside job orchestrated by the orange one and his cronies, to benefit himself. Now, his cultists consider him a god because he "cheated death", and he's milking this for all it is worth, selling merchandise about it, no less! How sickening, considering someone DIED.
logical thinking.... when he visit the area days before the attack, he hid the gun. possible in the building rain gutters system.
Superb analysis per usual. Spot on! Thank you.
Much appreciated!
