Here’s a cold, hard truth that’s sure to send shivers down your spine: The recent assassination attempt on President Trump could have been prevented. In a shocking turn of events, we’ve learned that the parents of the would-be assassin, Thomas Crooks, had alerted the police about their son’s disturbing behavior mere hours before he positioned himself for the attack. This revelation begs the question – how did this potential tragedy slip through the cracks of our law enforcement system?
Thomas Crooks, a quiet 20-year-old fresh out of high school, managed to fire off eight rounds from a stolen high-caliber rifle before being neutralized. What’s even more alarming is that his parents had already sounded the alarm about their son’s unraveling mental state.

As we speak, the Bureau is knee-deep in an investigation trying to figure out how, despite his parents’ warnings, Crooks was able to position himself in such a prime spot for an attack. To add fuel to the fire, it has come to light that a local cop actually backed off from Crooks moments before his deadly spree. The Secret Service, under Kimberly Cheatle’s leadership, defended their decision not to station an agent on the roof – a decision that gave Crooks an unobstructed view of President Trump on stage.
One would naturally assume that an assassin would have clear political motives. But with Crooks, things are as clear as mud. Initial claims suggested he came from a MAGA-supporting family, but neighbors were quick to debunk this myth. Amy, a local GOP captain, pointed out that there was no evidence of Trump support at Crooks’ residence.
Digging deeper into this tangled web, we found that Crooks, a registered Republican, had recently donated to a progressive PAC supporting President Biden’s re-election. His mother is a registered Democrat, and his father identifies as a Libertarian. This political patchwork only thickens the plot: What on earth pushed Crooks over the edge?
Neighbors have shared unsettling encounters with Crooks in the days leading up to the rally. Amy described him as always walking with his head down – a seemingly innocent behavior that now seems ominously foreboding. She even confessed to having a gut feeling that something was amiss on the day of the rally, which prompted her to stay home – a decision that might have saved her life.
This tragic incident underscores the vital importance of effective communication between citizens and law enforcement. The missed signals in Thomas Crooks’ case serve as a grim reminder of what can happen when warnings fall on deaf ears. As this investigation unfolds, we can only hope that lessons will be learned to prevent such a disaster from recurring.
