To be fair, the school would cover its ass immediately and deny any bullying claims if he was.
Didn't his classmates say he was an outcast or bullied? A classmate would have more insight than some school official.
Some have. Some have said otherwise. The truth isn’t as clear yet about who he was
If some people say person X was bullied and some people say a person X wasn't bullied. I'll probably believe person X was bullied.
If you say they were bullied (and you're not a liar) you only had to have seen it happen once. If you say they weren't bullied either you a) never saw it happen or b) you're always watching and it didn't happen
A) is possible because most people don't see all bullying, but it's an overbroad statement B) is functionally impossible.
I'm also more likely to believe he was bullied because of the actual video that was posted where a classmate was pulling on his pant legs when Crooks didn't want them to.
EDIT: fixed the link, I hope
There must be a mistake. That link is sending me directly to an ad for TikTok
Thanks for checking that. YouTube has been doing weird things if you click the share button at the wrong time.
Hopefully this works: https://youtu.be/g1_V_4sMoOg
Thanks for that. It's difficult to concretely conclude he was being bullied from that clip but it certainly adds a small piece of insight.
I know a person who went to school with him. I was told he was indeed on the rifle team and was kicked out because he was absolutely dog shit at shooting.
