A shocking video has emerged showing Thomas Matthew Crooks, the would-be assassin of former President Donald Trump, in a humorous tone about his physique.
The footage, provided by TMZ, features Crooks when he was just a sophomore at Steel Center for Career and Technical Education in Jefferson Hills, Pennsylvania. The educational institution offers career and technical training to students from multiple public school districts in Pennsylvania.
In the video, Crooks jests about being 6’4″, attending Stanford University, and possessing a ten-inch penis. The revelation starkly contrasts with the initial reports that Crooks was a loner who frequently faced bullying.
A classmate who spoke to TMZ disputes this image, describing Crooks as friendly and skilled with computers. According to the classmate, Crooks was an exceptional student with an affinity for computer technology. He could effortlessly disassemble and reassemble computers without making any mistakes.
The motive behind Crooks’ attempted assassination on the former president remains unclear. His classmates have also revealed that he attempted to join the school’s rifle club but was rejected due to being an inaccurate shot. A classmate described him as a “comically bad” marksman and stated that the coach, a renowned instructor, was a strict evaluator who recognized subpar performers.
Crooks’ peers recall noticing peculiar comments and interactions he had with others, saying, “We noticed a few things Thomas said and how he interacted with other people… He said some things that were kind of concerning.”
