The Silence on the Shooter: Why Thomas Crooks Faded from the Headlines
In this eye-opening episode of Hidden Threads, hosts Macky Outlaw and Jus peel back the layers on Thomas Crooks—the 20-year-old loner who nearly assassinated President Trump at a Butler, Pennsylvania rally on July 13, 2024, grazing his ear, killing bystander Corey Comperatore, and wounding two others before being gunned down by Secret Service. One year later, with Trump back in the White House, why has the media gone radio silent on Crooks? We dive into the unresolved mysteries: his nonexistent digital footprint, no manifesto or clear motive (despite searches for Trump and Biden events), signs of eroding mental health ignored by family and authorities, and explosive materials found in his car.
Was it the lack of a juicy political ideology to exploit, overshadowed by Trump's "divine intervention" narrative and a chaotic election cycle, or deeper systemic failures like Secret Service lapses that embarrassed the establishment?
Macky and Jus debate media bias, conspiracy whispers from X about "invisible radicalization," and what this says about accountability in a post-attempt America. Raw takes, unanswered questions, and a call for transparency—tune in before the threads unravel further. Warning: sensitive topics and graphic historical details discussed.
