United States: The revelation that the parents of the 20-year-old who endeavored to assassinate former President Trump are licensed professional counselors has sparked immense fury. Mary Elizabeth Crooks and Matthew Brian Crooks, residing in Bethel Park, Pennsylvania, hold licenses from the Pennsylvania Social Work Board, as verified by the Pennsylvania Department of State Licensing System.
This unsettling revelation about the would-be assassin’s progenitors, who have maintained active counseling licenses since 2002, adds an additional layer of dread to this already spine-chilling narrative, according to reports.
The FBI’s probe into the Crooks’ family residence continues following the violent assault at a Trump rally in Butler County, Pennsylvania, this past Saturday.
Reportedly, the motive behind Thomas Matthew Crooks’ nefarious act remains elusive. Records indicate his registration as a Republican voter, yet campaign finance disclosures reveal a $15 donation to a progressive political action committee on January 20, 2021, coinciding with President Biden’s inauguration. This incongruous information further enshrouds his intentions in mystery.
The ghastly episode resulted in a bullet grazing former President Trump’s right ear and the tragic death of firefighter Corey Comperatore.
Positioned approximately 130 yards away in an elevated stance, Crooks executed this audacious act of violence, igniting nationwide outrage and a clamor for explanations. The public is left questioning how the offspring of licensed counselors, charged with others’ well-being, could perpetrate such a horrendous crime. There is an unequivocal demand for accountability and justice in this abhorrent attempt on President Trump’s life.
