The only person at fault here is Crooks.
So you do trust Forbes? Heres some more on Crooks, the shooter:
https://www.forbes.com/sites/maryroeloff...ew-crooks/
"conservative...It makes me wonder why he would carry out an assassination attempt on the conservative candidate.” Student Anna Dusch, however, who took a government class with Crooks, told the Times he never revealed any of his political views to his peers despite the subject material. One classmate, Jameson Murphy, told the New York Post that Crooks, 20, wasn't able to make the Bethel Park High School rifle team after missing targets "by close to 20 feet" and described him as a "terrible shot." Another classmate, who was not named, added that the rifle team coach had concerns about Crooks, saying the former Naval man "knew when someone’s not the greatest person" and had noted Crooks' "crass jokes that weren’t appropriate when there are firearms in the school setting."
Here's another:
He would regularly wear hunting outfits and was made fun of for the way he dressed, Mr Kohler said.
"He would sit alone at lunch. He was just the outcast," Mr Kohler said. "It's honestly kind of sad."
Crooks tried out for the school's rifle team but was turned away because he was "a bad shooter", said Frederick Mach, a current captain of the team who was a few years behind Crooks at the school.
Michael Dudjak, 20, who went to school with Crooks for most of his life, recalled him as a relatively reserved and quiet classmate. He didn't hear or see Crooks being actively bullied by their peers, Mr Dudjak said, but Crooks was "on his own a lot".
He couldn't recall Crooks ever being outspoken about politics or very active on social media. Mr Dudjak was with some friends and acquaintances from high school Saturday night when he learned that Crooks was the gunman.
Hmmmmmmmmmmm
